I hear conflicting statements. Some say the D5000 is the warmest and bass oriented, with smoothest highs. The D2000 being the sharpest in treble, and the D7000 being the midpoint in terms of sound signature.
I'm not a fan of overly warm/smooth sound, so I wouldn't ever go with the D5000, but I'm just wondering how close in performance the D2000 is to the D7000. More of a curiosity.
