I do like the fact that the D90 has the AF built-in, where the d5000 does not.

edit: Here are a few comparisons:

Yea I was reading that article before. It seems pretty Nikon biased... heh. Plus, the kit lens that comes with the T1i is a piece of crap so I would just get the body and my own lenses.

I went to best buy today and held the T1i, D90, D5000, and also the EOS 50d for good measure. The T1i and D5000 just feel too small... and this is coming from someone with pretty small hands. The D90 felt pretty nice, but the viewfinder wasn't as big and bright as the EOS 50d's. If only the 50d had video recording that would be the one I'd get. For now I think I'll just get the T1i, get some good glass, and then upgrade the body to the EOS 60d when Canon releases it.
