Another great DSLR from Nikon, September 25, 2009By Bostrom
I've had my Nikon D3000 since it was first released about 4 weeks ago and I'm really pleased with it. I'm an amateur/hobbyist photographer and for a year or so I haven't really been sure what DSLR to get. The Nikon D60 was a great camera, but I just didn't want to be stuck with it's basic 3-point AF system. Now that I've had my D3000 for a while I'm really glad I waited. The 11-point AF system (the same as what's in the D90 and D5000) was really worth the wait. Also, while I wasn't really too sure about the CCD sensor I have no complaints about it and I'm really pleased with image quality. The only problem with the image quality is low light performance, which is not the greatest, but I can't really complain - for the price it's great.
The button layout is great (just like all the other Nikons), I really like the 3-inch display, and some of the in-camera editing features have proven to be really useful. Also, though I don't really like compact DSLRs that much, I have to say that once again, Nikon has done a great job at it, and even though it's small, it's really comfortable to hold. If you're in the market for a DSLR, regardless of your level of photography, I'd highly recommend this camera.

Nikon D3000 getting started with DSLRs, October 11, 2009By Konstantinos Kontogiannis "nocturne" ( va beach va )
I had the Camera for a month or so now and i must say that i was used to Point and shoot cameras with above average performance when it comes to specific areas (point and shoot are fine in their own right)... So i wanted to "migrate" into the next level and really focus on my plating photography...I Blog regularly at [...] and i soon realized that despite my old Sony zoom and daylight pics were good there were lacking that essence ....And then when shooting plated food there is all kind of things to have in mind , specifically lighting conditions.... So i browsed and compared and decided that i like both canon and Nikon Platforms ,only to make a final decision to go with Nikon D3000...And why D3000?
well the features on this camera are more than enough for someone to handle especially someone coming into more serious attempts of photography ... At the price range right now there is little competition or none...And the picture quallity is great and you will start shooting as soon a you get it... I got a crash course into using it on a trip to NYC where i had the opportunity to take a lot of indoor shots and some outdoor shots with great results (and then some with not so great) but bare in mind that i am as picky as i can be..I will take several pictures , as many as possible and then choose the best angles and results to go on and use or print...
Overall i am really happy...This camera has enough features for the serious amateur that wants to learn how to use DSLRs and the basics of good photography.... Of course if you are looking into more serious cameras i am sure there are plenty of Nikon and CANON cameras to fit anybody's needs , but for the little guy that is just starting on DSLRs the d3000 is perfect... And its pretty light too...I was carrying around without much trouble all day....
