5 out of 5 stars Amazing   March 9, 2010
Paulo C. Silva Reis (Brazil)
I really liked my camera. I ain't an expert but I just loved!
I can take really nice pictures with amazing quality. Really impressed!
That's all.



5 out of 5 stars Had it a little over a month, and I love my camera.   March 9, 2010
P. Nguyen (Lakewood, CA, USA)
I've been debating between getting the Nikon d3000 and Canon XS. I never thought I would own anything other than a Canon because I was a long time Canon user. I wasn't really sure which way I would lean until I grabbed a hold of both of them in my hands at a store. I liked the way the Nikon felt in my hands. Canon just felt cheap. I've also considered Nikon d5000, but I wasn't ready to commit myself to paying that price tag for a few extras features for a beginner. For someone that is just delving into dslr and photography, I love it. I want to take photography classes so I can learn even more and improve my skills.

I get frustrated with the camera sometimes, but it's only because of my inability to understand what each function does and how to use it. I have more learning to do, which requires more patience. Now, I find myself going on random trips around Southern California just so I can take pictures and just use my camera. I take it everywhere. I know I would own this for years, but when that time comes it would be another Nikon (and it's not just because I have Nikon lenses). I love their quality. I've converted.

My only peeve, although minor, is that it doesn't have live view. I knew this going in. I thought it wouldn't be a problem because I do prefer the eye view finder, but I do take pictures with the point of view from the ground. Without live view, I really don't know what I'm taking a picture of, and I choose not to lay on the ground to find that out. I guess it will be trial and error for me and a surprise when I look at the pictures or suck it up and get down onto the ground.



5 out of 5 stars Amazing!   March 7, 2010

3 out of 5 stars Buy the D5000 instead, I have owned both D3000 & D5000   March 4, 2010

The D3000 is pretty cheap, but I have owned both the D3000 and the D5000 (after returning the D3000) and I can safely say that the image quality is far superior on the D5000 in low light especially. I was amazed at the quality difference...for a little bit more money you can have excellent pictures instead of ok or unusable pictures.

Even at low ISOs, the D3000 systematically inserted horrible graininess in almost all my pictures. Even in RAW format the camera performed poorly.

Pretty much everything else about the camera I was very pleased with, including the price. However I bought this camera to take pictures, not to marvel at the features.

In summary, I highly recommend the Nikon D5000...and I highly recommend not wasting time or money on the D3000.



5 out of 5 stars Way better than my point and shoot... Nikon got it again with this one   March 2, 2010
Mico Lector (Los Angeles, CA)
All of the previous review have got it spot on and could not agree more, so I will not write another. I have this for my vacation and a wedding. It is just loads of fun and not intimidating to use( being from a point-and-shoot) with the Guide mode. The kit lens is great but have its limited reach so i bought the 55-200mm VR to compliment it. During the wedding, i manage to get 2 of my cousins to switch from point-and-shoot as they were impress with the D3000 with its ease of use and quality of the pictures.

I already out grew my camera bag as i add the 55-200mm and a 50mm prime in my collection.
