D90 is not slightly above.
D5000 has some advantages too.
The both cameras have Nikon Multi-CAM1000, not old SAFOX 8.
D5000 has 4 fps and 100 JPEG or 11 RAW, Tilt and Swivel LCD.
D90 has pentaprism, 4.5 fps/100 JPEG and 11 RAW.
3.0 " TFT LCD (920 000 dots)
Yes, K-x is smaller, but not ligher than D5000.
17 JPEG and 5 RAW are rather old-fashion.
K-x has no AF indicators in VF (no other such DSLR in the world).
