Nikon D3000
It is always nice to be stretched by a DSLR unit. This one from Nikon would make an ideal stepping stone for a competent DigitalCamera user before going on to a professional unit if indeed they intend to progress further.

Easy to use, with great pictures.
Takes great pictures, with a 8 GB SD card I can take over a thousand pctures. Gives you the option of of all settings or you can do point and shoot. With both setting, for the first time shooter is very easy and for an experienced shooter all settings are easy to find and set.
Pros:
- Has a good feeling while your holding it to take pictures
- all controls are easy to see and get to
Cons:
- Haven't found any yet

Nikon D3000 Review
For a great price like $600, the Nikon D3000 is an excellent value, especially if you are ready to move into more advanced photographic waters. Once you start acquiring the lenses, a few years down the road you can replace the body and still have the glass.
Pros:
- Excellent image quality
- Auto modes for beginner
- Good in low light
Cons:
- Sluggish image buffer
- No live view
- No video recording
