Nikon D3000 DSLR camera

With digital SLRs well within the realm of mass-market affordability, what's to stop every family from owning one? Financial penury aside, a perceived uphill learning curve perhaps, and that's where Nikon's latest 10-megapixel entry-level model, the D3000, updating the D60, comes in.
Pros:
  • Small
  • lightweight yet sturdy construction
  • reliable results and responsive in operation
  • intuitive to use with or without Intelligent Guide deployed
Cons:
  • No Live View option
  • no movies of any description
  • no built-in anti-shake

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

[REVIEW-NIKON D3000 DSLR]

This 10.2 megapixel camera is Nikon's new entry model, supplied with an 18–55mm (27–82 film equivalent) lens with vibration reduction. Sensor dust reduction is by sensor vibration. The medium resolution 75mm LCD doubles as the camera status screen.
Pros:
  • The images from the camera are consistently well exposed
  • Colour is generally good, except under incandescent light where auto white balance fails
  • Ergonomics are excellent and the noises – shutter and mirror slap – are amazingly refined
  • It does not feel cheap
Cons:
  • Nikon pinch the pennies on their low end models – no auto bracketing
  • a limited range of auto-focus lenses (there is no focus drive in the body)
  • poor LCD resolution and no live view.

Nikon D3000

The Nikon D3000 is the entry level Nikon Digital SLR. It is aimed at anyone who is looking for a step up from a compact digital camera or anyone who is looking to transfer to a Digital SLR from a 35mm camera. Entry level gives the impression of a basic camera. This is not really true.

Wow

This is my first complex camera and I'm a bit intimidated, but Nikon supplies so much help if you are unsure of all the photography aspects such as 2 dvds (included) a manual and help on the web. I'm amazed at all this camera can do! I've already taken some amazing pictures.
Pros:
  • So many features
Cons:
  • Intimidating at first
