    Nikon 35mm 1.8 is very sweet....

    If you're photographing artwork like artists books, a D5000 with the flip viewfinder works well on a copy stand like this one:

    The D90 has almost the same imaging chipset as the D5000, but no flip-out viewfinder... the D90 does have AF for old-style AF-D lenses, but for non-moving artwork, manual focus should be fine... and the 35 F1.8 as well as the 18-55 work in AF with the D5000....

    Also, the Pentax K-X has a good DXOmark sensor ranking... and Pentax non-zoom lenses are sharp and not too pricey either... the body with image-stabilizer built-in is nice... but if you want to borrow lenses, the Nikon/Canon duopoly is always there...

    Some of the Sony's have flip viewfinders....
