the D3000 Nikon SLf

Strengths: Simplicity

Weakness: a wee bit heavy

I purchased this camera as I was about to leave for a 10-day vacation in Switzerland. This camera did not disappoint me; it was simple to use; took absolutely beautiful photos. I especially like having to use the view finder instead of the display to shoot the pics. Displays have always presented problems for me especially since I am near sighted with an astigmatism. So pleased I made this purchase, but I do not like the Nikon DX zoom lens I purchased with this camera. It is just not do the job.

Bad Photo

Strengths: You can't take a bad photo unless you forget to remove the lens cover!

Weakness: It makes you look so good your always taking photo's while everyone else is eating pie.

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.

Nikon D3000 (with 18mm-55mm lens)

THE GOOD: Beginner-friendly Guide mode; nicely laid out interactive control panel; solid photo quality up through ISO 1,600. THE BAD: Extremely basic feature set; annoying multiselector switch. THE BOTTOM LINE: Its feature set is basic even by entry-level standards, but the Nikon D3000 delivers the photo quality and performance you expect when stepping up to a dSLR, with an optional interface...

Camera Labs – Nikon D3000 review

The D3000 is Nikon’s latest entry-level DSLR, featuring 10.2 Megapixels and an easy-to-use control system aimed at beginners or those upgrading from a point-and-shoot. It’s the true successor to the popular D60 and positioned below the D5000 in the current Nikon range.
