I don't know about the pricing over there, but here in the UK the body-only launch price of the D5000 is over £100 more than the current advertised price of the D90 at at least one well-respected dealer. With the 18-55, it's £40 more than D90 + 18-105. Something has to happen with the prices for the D5000 to have a chance of competing with the D90. Let's hope the D90's price doesn't rise!
