Nikon D3000

The photo's are sharp wide and as a non expert I leave it on Auto mode and point & shoot. It's user friendly and as you feel like taking on more it guides you thru with ease.

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
