Entry Level, Minus The "Entry Level"
If you haven't noticed, the crew here at Gear Patrol loves to take photos . Not too long ago, this GP contributor was the last member of the crew still trying to take photos of the latest gear with his trusty old point-and-shoot (the venerable, yet aged Canon PowerShot SD200).

Camera Test: Nikon D3000
You can get a lot of Nikon for your money-the $780 (body only) D90 pops readily to mind as a near-unbeatable deal. But what about the lowest-price entry point into the Nikon system, the D3000 ($550, street, with 18– 55mm f/3.5–5.6 VR lens)?

Nikon D3000
Lately, more and more digital SLR cameras shoot high-definition video, but the new Nikon D3000 bucks this trend to focus purely on photos. The D3000 replaces the D60 at the bottom of Nikon's range. Its body is clearly derived from those of the D60, D40x and D40 .

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.
Pros:
- You can't take a bad photo unless you forget to remove the lens cover
Cons:
- It makes you look so good your always taking photo's while everyone else is eating pie

Pros:
- Strong image quality for the price
- 11-point autofocus
- Beginner-friendly user interface
- Fast,
Cons:
- No video recording
- Flash sometimes overwhelms Macro and low-light shots,

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
