Nikon D3000 Review
The Nikon D3000 is probably one of the best entry-level digital SLR camera on the market today. For a relatively low price amateur photographers can now move to a new generation of point-and-shoot technology unheard of a few years ago.
This is one of Nikon’s friendliest DSLR camera’s ever with a 10.2 megapixel image sensor, 11-point autofocus system with 3D tracking and six auto exposure modes. It is compact and very capable, compatible with a broad range of Nikkor lenses and features Silent-Wave Motor autofocusing and Nikon VR image stabilization to combat picture blur caused by camera shake for sharp handheld pictures. This is a camera that is ideal for the photographer who is looking to move from a high-end point-and-shoot digital camera to a DSLR camera.
Nikon D3000 Key Features are :
- 10.75 megapixel DX-format CCD sensor
- 3″ fixed LCD monitor (no swivel)
- Image sensor cleaning
- 11 AF points (with 3D tracking)
- IS0 100-1600 range
- 3 frame per second continuous shooting
- in-camera retouching
- 72 thumbnail and calendar view in playback
Unfortunately there is no Live View and no Video Mode. For me the Video Mode is not serious (it’s only a cheap entry level DSLR after all), but the lack of Live View is bound to disappoint. Especially if as I mentioned earlier you are moving up from a point-and-shoot digital camera with Live View to this DSLR camera - you are going to miss that functionality.
Other than that it’s a thoroughly capable camera, especially with the 11 point autofocus system taken from the D90. If you can do without Live View then this has to be your top choice for an entry level DSLR camera.

So is a revamped AF system and new, even more user-friendly interface enough to make first-time DSLR buyers part with their cash? Or does the D3000 pale before live-view equipped competitors like the Canon EOS 1000D and Olympus E-450? …
