Nikon may have just accidentally revealed the successor to their D5000 consumer DSLR. This video shows various cameras in the Nikon family, but Nikon Rumors noticed that when it shows the D5000, the LCD is shown swiveled to the left side. The Problem? The D5000 LCD only swivels down.

Not much revealed other than that, but a good catch by NR. If the release is soon, it could steal the Canon T3i’s swivel-thunder. We’ll keep you posted.
