I can acheive close to 500 shots with the Nkion with the Pentax less for sure, blasted indicator. That's just a rough estimate because it varies, I shoot video, stills, review my photos more often, I use the cameras similarly Nikon definately has longer battery life.
I even returned one K-x body because of power on issues.
Here's another advantage for the Nikon D5000, it has a quiet mode and generally it's quiet in general. The shutter on the K-x is so blasted loud!, mirror slap bam lol
Video I find is excellent on the K-x with the SR on. Stabilize primes that's a big advantage for the K-x. Both cams will have the rolling shutter effect. Just move slowly when in video not to induce it.
Nikon doesn't equip their primes with VR.
