Nikon D3000
(1 items) Think of Nikon's D3000 as the smaller cousin of the long-standing models it replaces. With the D3000, Nikon improves on its previous entry-level model (the Nikon D40 [ ]), refining the design and adding a slew of features that make the D3000 a great choice for point-and-shoot owners...
Pros:
- Lightweight but solid build
- Images are sharp and have good color
Cons:
- Viewfinder doesn't protrude enough
- LCD can be hard to read in bright light

Pros:
- Strong image quality for the price
- 11-point autofocus
- Beginner-friendly user interface

Cons:
- No video recording
- Flash sometimes overwhelms Macro and low-light shots,

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

Moved up to a D3000 from a Panasonic FZ-28 Lumix bridge camera, and I was not disappointed. The lack of live view is hard to compensate for if, like me, you're used to snapping photos from the LCD rather than the viewfinder, but the crystal clear image offered through the finder on this SLR is more...
Pros:
- Excellent image quality
- good sturdy build
- guide mode is useful
Cons:
- No live view
