  Duration of ownership: 1 Months

  Strengths: For people upgrading from a point-and-shoot and wanted a good entry level Digital SLR that they could grow into.

  Weaknesses:Everything is in the box to start shooting, except for a memory card.

  Overall Evaluation: For the most part, this Nikon digital SLR received high marks. Those that did leave one star reviews did not provide constructive feedback about the unit itself. Those people aside, there were other people who had pleasant things to say about the camera. There was little concern with the lack of "Live View", the ability to frame a shot with the LCD screen. It was recommended for people upgrading from a point-and-shoot and wanted a good entry level Digital SLR that they could grow into. From the small size of the camera (for a DSLR) to the number of extra features available, there were many reasons people liked the D3000 from Nikon. Note: Everything is in the box to start shooting, except for a memory card. You'll need to get an SD or SHDC card to use with your camera.

  Strengths: Simplicity

  Weaknesses:a wee bit heavy

  Overall Evaluation: 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.

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

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

  Overall Evaluation: 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.
