Nikon D3000 18-55 VR Kit review
Beginner-friendly features, but it fails to provide efficient controls and competitive image quality for when the beginners become more demanding.

Nikon D3000
The D3000 slots into Nikon's DLSR line-up below the D5000, replacing the D60 and D40x at the entry level position. Although not the smallest in its class, the D3000 is nonetheless compact as befits its target market.

Nikon D3000 DSLR Camera
N ikon's latest DSLR has broken out of the mold that were restraining some of the previous entry level models, which is about time considering that the competition is getting stiffer. How well does the D3000 fare in a (now) crowded market of consumer DSLR cameras?

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.

Nikon D3000 DSLR Digital Camera Review
It offers the complete gamut of usability from point-and-shoot simplification right through to more advanced manual control and image design expected of a DSLR and produces a standard of image that far outperforms anything a digital compact could produce.

Well, to be honest, not a lot really. The three focus points of the D60 have been significantly increased to 11 points in the D3000, and 3D tracking for moving subjects has been introduced. The LCD screen has also increased in size to a respectable 3in.
