 "Awesome beginners digital/slr" 2010-02-03
By MLKurtz (Weatherly, PA)
Although, I'm new to the digital/slr camera, this is a great camera. I intend on practicing to get ready for our cruise to Hawaii. It should take awesome pictures. Many of my friends who have Nikon's, swear by them. I've been a Canon user, so we'll see...

 "good deal" 2010-01-31
By RBNJ (New Jersey)
I just bought this package as my first SLR for a class I am taking. I did research and found this to be a good deal. It comes with everything to get started taking pictures immediately. The package includes an extra battery, battery charger and even an 8g memory card. I like the camera so far, takes nice pictures and is fun to use. Only small drawback is it does not have liveview so you must look through the view finder when taking the picture. Not an issue for me but worth mentioning.

If your in the market for an entry level SLR I would not hesitate to buy this package deal.

 "Nikon's 12 Days of Christmas" 2009-12-02
By Nikon Lover (Boston, MA USA)
On the first day of Christmas, my husband gave to me, my shinny new Nikon camera.

On the second day of Christmas, Nikon gave to me, a camera that stopped working.

On the third day of Christmas I went to UPS and mailed my camera

On the fourth day of Christmas Nikon announced to me...no service for your...camera is "grey market" (because I bought it from an online retailer)

On the fifth day of Christmas I begged Nikon to repair it

On the sixth day of Christmas my Nikon LENS broke

On the seventh day of Christmas back to UPS

On the eight day of Christmas Nikon did a GRINCH SWITCHEROO

"You don't own a Nikon, You own a Sigma, we're sending this piece of junk back to you.."

On the ninth day of Christmas I received someone else's Sigma lens

On the 10th day of Christmas I called Nikon and sent a million emails (for 6 months)

On the 11th day of Christmas I contacted senior management....still no camera

On the 12th day of Christmas I bade farewell to my $$$ Nikon...forever lost at Nikon's service center and unretruned to me

Yes, my camera was stolen by Nikon. What a sad Christmas this will be!!

 "Brilliant for a beginner like myself" 2009-12-02
By Christopher R. Foltz (Chicago, IL)
I purchased this camera because I love photography and for a while now have dreamed of getting an DSLR. I have played around with a lot of the features on my various Point and Shoots but I wanted something better. After going through a lot of reviews, questioning my friends with DSLRs already and knowing my budget I purchased the D3000. I was not disappointed. I am no expert on photography and am frequently going to webpages and books to see the best ideas for certain shot situations but this camera so far has done very well for me. It gives you everything you would need to start out and learn the functions. it is slightly lighter than a lot of the the other SLRs out there which for me is excellent since I travel a decent amount and makes carrying it around these places no problem. One thing I thought could have been better is the Guide mode which pretty much is an easier way to use the different settings (portrait, landscape, etc) modes on your camera, and if you don't know how to set the camera in these modes already then maybe you should either do some more reading, or go back to your point and shoot (which also has some of these functions). Overall I am so far extremely happy with this camera and can't wait for my upcoming trips to really push the envelope of the types of shots I take.

 "Enough new features to be worth getting instead of the D40" 2009-11-29
By Monkey Poo
I'll compare this to the Canon Rebel XS, since I played with the XS heavily recently and also because they are the same target market (entry level DSLR).



Pros:



* Less mushy shutter button

* Nice roughness on the mode dial

* Great rough texture on the whole body for a nice grip

* Has more buttons on the left than Canon, the latter is way biased toward right-handed operation

* Bigger, 3" LCD screen

* More autofocus points

* Quieter auto-focus

* You can start zooming and playing with the last picture taken right away (Canon would show you the picture, but you had to press a button to start zooming/etc.)

* Autoplay "slideshow" of the last burst of pictures you took; I really missed this when I was using the Canon

* Viewfinder grid (the Canon didn't have one)

* More informative LCD (I like the aperture display)

* Clearer written material



Cons:



* Continuous shooting mode bizarrely slows down after a few shots. I tried turn off the Active D-Lighting, but it didn't help.

* Battery doesn't lock into place as well as on the Canon, I can feel it rattling a bit

* I noticed a couple of hot pixels on dark backgrounds (but to be fair, it's hard to find any sensor with zero dead/hot pixels)

* Minor, but annoying: Nikon rounds your pictures left to "1.0K" instead of a true value

* Autofocus seems slower

* Still some dumb UI decisions, like if I want to constantly do 2-sec self-timer photos, I have to keep reseting it. And the continuous file numbering is off by default, meaning it resets every time you format or do a new memory card. Overall, Nikon is amazing with ergonomics/UI design, but they are not perfect.

* It is missing what have come to be standard features in DSLRs these days: the XS came with auto exposure bracketing and auto white balance bracketing; the D3000 has neither.



Summary: Anyone on a budget or just getting their feet wet with DSLR technology and stepping up from point-and-shoots will be blown away by the features and image quality. Those people looking for a more refined or feature-filled DSLR experience should look at higher-end (and more expensive) models.

 "Not worth your hard-earned $$." 2009-11-23
By D. Contos (Orlando, FL)
A. Little is right if you're going to treat this DSLR as a fancy P&S camera, but I think the point of buying a camera of this type (as opposed to some of the cheaper P&S's) should include: being able to get better IQ, take faster action shots and to shoot in darker conditions. We can't minimize the D3000's reduced noise handling ability in relation to the less expensive and older D40 it purports to replace (the third such attempted replacement, I may add) ([...]). You simply can't take good indoor shots (or darker) without ugly flash glare or more expensive lighting at ISO 200 on these models (can you do it at 400?). In addition, I challenge any hobbyist to be able to tell the differnece between the D3000's "faster frame rate" and the D40 in actual use (3fps v. 2.5fps); you'd have to go to 5 or 6 fps and a higher baffle before you get a workable difference, at least for my hard-earned $$. (One of the greatest cameras of all time, the Canon 5D Mark II, barely does 5fps). The D3000's GUIDE Mode will annoy anyone who actually learns the relationship between ISO, Aperature, and Shutter Speed and while useful for a newbie, not something you'd want to use for too long. The D3000's LCD is slightly larger physically, but the resolution isn't really increased from the D40 so the image produced isn't all that fetching; it's not bad, but it doesn't exactly add to its buy-me factor, either. Does this make the D3000 a bad camera? Of course not, its a good camera, but you can still get a NEW D40 for less and maybe we can't blame Nikon using fluff to try to boost its newbie/Noob sales or because it can't coax the same noise handling ability from its larger sensor.



Finally, yeah, the D3000 does have a few more MP's, but so did the D40x and so does the D60 and so do MANY P&S's...and they're still selling new D40's (and oh yeah, the D3000 is dropping to where it (along with its great VR lens) almost matches the D40's price and my earlier arguments become a bit moot)...don't buy into the MP Hype the sales people use to sell camera's (don't be a Noob); unless you are printing larger than 16x20 posters, 6 MP is all you will ever need, and its not a reason (by itself) to give up your hard earned $$. If you "need" things like DOF, older lens compatibility, flash control, higher frame-rate, a usable ADL/ADR assisted camera (students of photography don't really need live view...), then go for the D90 - my .02 =)
