I already half-wish I invested in the D5000 but this is a really good first purchase & the lenses will come with me on future camera purchases. I have a lot to learn as it’s been years since I’ve used anything beyond a snapshot camera, but outside photos are stunning & full of color. Inside photos I need work, although close up have been beautiful so far. Once I pull out my high school photography notes & merge them with DSLR technology, I should be all set. Note, I have not yet watched the helpful DVDs included in the purchase but hope to do so soon. I’m very happy with all aspects of this purchase.

I debated quite a while before buying the Nikon D3000. The $599 price ‘pushed’ me into making the decision. While I am still clearly learning how to operate all the various features on the camera – I am very pleased with all aspects so far. I find it takes very sharp photos and is pretty easy to operate. I also like the operation and results of the 55-200 VR telephoto lens that came with this package.

This is my first digital SLR camera – but, not my first digital camera nor SLR camera.

I would recommend this camera and lenses to friends.

This is the Best 1st time SLR camera I could have gone with. Ease of use is great. Camera takes great professional like pictures. I looked at many others before going with the D3000. The price and ease of use alone were the greatest factors in my decision since this was to be my first SLR. Was a little conerned about only being 10MP that is not a factor in this camera. Would recommend this to anyone.

I went back and forth between this camera and the Nikon D5000. For me, I couldn’t justify the price for the video and on screen display (neither of which I ever used on my old Olympus Digital camera). This camera was very easy to use right out of the box. The manual is informative and easy to use. I only used the camera for about a week before going on an Alaskan cruise. I took close to 1200 pictures with the 4mb card and the pictures are stunning. I mostly used the 55-200 AF-S DX zoom lens and was able to photograph eagles, seal and moose at a long distance with this camera. Even though only 10MP (compared to 12 with the D5000), I was able to zoom in on the moose, seal and eagles after downloading to my Imac with great clarity. Price wise, I feel I got a great deal with this camera with the extra lens and carrying case. I think after taking a few digital photography classes, I will be quite adept at using all the features and taking stupendous photos.
