The Nikon D3000 is an entry-level DSLR, but don’t let the term fool you. When you place the label “Entry Level” on a camera, it might call to mind a camera with no frills, limited uses, and little more to offer than an automatic shooting experience. This has been disproved by the latest crop of cameras released in the past two years, and the D3000 continues to set the bar high for an entry-level camera. This new generation of point-and-shoots and entry-level DSLRs not only push the boundary of low-light performance and mega resolutions, they give that power to a whole new audience of beginning photographers.

For quick access to shooting settings without going directly through the Menu button, you can press the Information Display button, which looks like a magnifying glass with a plus sign in the middle. By pressing the Information Display button you’ll be able to change the white balance, AF mode, metering, exposure compensation, flash mode and many other functions with the multi selector. This is an easy way to change things without too much hassle, and works quite well and intuitively.
The Guide Mode is also an easy menu system. You’ll use the multi selector to make selections here. Guide Mode initially offers three different command prompts including Shoot for picture-taking help, View/Delete for image review, and Setup for simplified access to shooting settings.
The Nikon D3000 is a replacement for the extremely popular Nikon D40, which for a little over two years has marked the entry point to the company's digital SLR lineup.
The Nikon D3000 features a new body with slightly more rounded shoulders and a larger 3.0-inch LCD panel on its rear face. The control layout is nearly identical to that of the D40, ensuring that owners of the previous camera will feel right at home.
Most of the Nikon D3000's other changes bring together features previously seen in the D40x, D60, and D5000 models.
The Nikon D3000 has a 10-megapixel DX-format CCD image sensor that yields images as large as 3,872 x 2,592 pixels. The D3000 also includes Nikon's Dust Reduction and Picture Control Systems, and offers a burst rate of three frames per second. The Nikon D3000 also inherits the eleven point Multi-CAM 1000 autofocus module previously seen in the Nikon D5000.
New to the Nikon digital SLR camera lineup is a Guide mode, which walks new users through a few questions to set the camera up for the type of shot they seek.
The Nikon D3000 will ship in the USA from late August 2009. Pricing for the Nikon D3000 starts at about US$600 for the kit that includes an AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens with optical image stabilization.
