Subject: The Chip is the difference!
Wayne, while I'll agree there is little difference in the sensor SIZE, one important difference to note is the D3000 has the CCD, and the D5000 has the CMOS sensor, which provides MUCH better sensitivity (and grain/noise) at much higher ISOs, giving you much more flexibility when shooting in low-light situations. Its worth the extra $150 alone.
