I purchased this item but never got it. I had to go out and buy it at a local store... but thats another story. I have to say, this camera is a great introduction DSLR for people who want to get into photography but dont have that much or any experience taking photographs and dont want to get a second mortgage to buy a new camera. Sure, there are bigger and better cameras out there but this one has pretty much everything a newbie could/would ever need. I would suggest spending some extra cash on better optics before a bigger camera. A good lens is a good investment since you can use it with your new camera if and when you decide to upgrade to a bigger camera (i.e. D300 or D700). Long story short... if youre just starting in photography or upgrading from a point and shoot... this is your best bet. If y

This is my second d3000. I love the camera but this is my second one purchased within a year. I use my camera a lot and the door that holds the disk has a hinge that broke off . It cost 27.00 to replace . Then the camera started making a noise when I went to take a picture and would only work sometimes. Very aggravating. So I ordered another D3000 because I all ready had purchased extra lens to fit this camera and they are expensive . It was my fault for not sending the warranty in when I purchased the camera. It takes awesome photos so thats a plus.

This is a great Digital Camera. I own the Nikon D80 and wanted to get a DSLR for my wife as she has been interested in photography. This camera is a little smaller and very easy to use. We really enjoy the on screen programing on the back of the camera. The D3000 does not come with the live view but that really does not make a difference as if you are taking real photos you want to use the viewfinder and not live view. The quality of the picture are very good and very comparable to the D80. We like the ease of use and the best part is that the lens are interchangeable so we did not have to go out and spend a $1000 on new lens. If you really want a great camera that will work for most amateur or semi pros this is a great camera. It takes great pictures, easy to use and is very fast. It size really makes it a very easy to carry around too. Battery life is incredible, over 600 shots outside. I actually find myself using it more that my D80 when I am just running around taking shots.

This camera is as advertised, aka just the body. I am using it for Astro-photography and so far the best pics have been of the moon. This camera does work well for this activity but might be more than is needed. There are many options on this camera that I will never use for this activity. I did recently buy a lens to use this camera more.

Just a really nice camera. It does everything I need and a lot more. Primarily I needed a camera with a detachable lens so I could do prime focus, and eyepiece projection astrophotography, but I also needed a camera that would allow me to use my collection of Minolta lenses. So far everythings working just great, couldnt be happier with it.

For a "lower-end" DSLR, this camera takes great pictures and has a lot of features and capability. I know this isnt a pro-grade, beat it to death every day on the road camera, but it will likely have more features than the average owner will use and last longer than they want. (Makes it harder to justify getting s new model) ;-)

Seller would not accept return of the camera although it had a major defect - image array failure (CCD). Item purchased 20 Feb and seller notified of defect 4 Mar. Hard to understand why seller would sell defective camera.
