When taking wild life photos, the continous shooting mode fits our need perfectly. With the telephoto lens we have taken some great stolen shots.

When more funds are available, we will be a more professional body, but keep this one

I purchased this as an entry into the dslr world. Having been a film person, it was difficult to make the switch, but I'm glad I did. The lenses provide a really good range for the price.

I shot approx 900 photos on the 1st battery charge. I spent a fair amount of time reviewing the shots on the camera and culling from there. I was well-pleased with this over many cameras that don't do nearly as well.

I like some of the editing capabilities in the monochrome - such as making the sepia tones lighter or darker. The camera automatically saves it as a second image, so no worries about over-writing your original. Only bad is when you make a change like that, your photo goes to the end and you have to wade through a bunch to get back to where you were.

The bag is really sturdy and has room for everything in the kit.

This camera is fantastic. Whether you are an enthusiast looking for a DSLR that doesn't break the bank or if this is your first DSLR... it's perfect!

Takes amazing photos, has all the manual settings but will do it all in auto if necessary. The GUIDE is great... it brings up menus so you can set up your ISO/Shutter/Aperture settings and explains their purpose even if you don't know all the lingo. Then it lets you take the pictures right in GUIDE mode. Next time once you understand the different modes, you can select the mode yourself.

Fit and finish is excellent. The body feels perfect in your hands and it is compact and light compared to other DSLR's. Buy it!

This is an awesome camera...Value for Money. Image Quality is superb. Only thing i don't like about the camera is that it does not have LCD to view the shot before clicking.

Excellent quality, but a bit big -- as with all DSLR's. The lens cap should have an attachment cord.

I am certainly no pro. This is my first DSLR camera. I also own a Nikon P80 which I love. I have a lot to learn with a DSLR but I am looking forward to it. The pictures so far are awesome and that is barely using any of the features the camera offers. I shopped quite a bit for this camera and found Abe's of Maine to have the best price.

This is an excellent entry level slr camera. I have had it for one month and enjoy it much so far.
Excellent for amateurs like me.
The only unconvinience is that this camera does not have live view function.

I've been using point and shoot digitals for years and decided to buy a 'real' camera this time. The D3000 with two lenses is providing me with spectacular photos of wildlife, flowers, sunsets, friends and family. I have never taken such beautiful photos and I still don't know much about photography, but I'm learning !

This camera has great color, on our trip we down loaded our photos everyday and the color in the landscape photos had better color then other cameras costing twice as much.

I haven't printed any photos from camera but I think it is a good all round camera for the price range if you don't want to point and click. I would appreciate a paper manual instead of the cd and dvd's included.

Started using the camera as I received. Real easy to use and came with 2 dvds explaining the functions in camera and digital SLR photography in general. Those were real helpful for me since I just upgraded from point-and-shoot cameras. Great product for great price.

I highly recommend watching the Nikon School dvd. I am a beginner photographer, there is so many settings on this camera I would not of known where to begin if it was not for the Nikon shcool dvd. It is worth watching.

I am still learning all the different settings. I am happy with the pictures I have taken so far.

Now about Abe's of Maine - They were very easy to deal with. Gave me everything promised and in a timely manner. I will shop Abe's of Maine again.

I'm impressed with the quality so far. There's a lot to learn about all the capabilities of this camera. Need more time to evaluate.

The biggest complaint I've read about this camera is the relatively slow response of the Active D-Lighting feature. It is very slow sometimes, but you don't have to use this feature; it can be turned on and off easily. In fact, the manual adjustments, while new and different to me at first (compared to other DSLRs), are actually very easy to use. Nikon has made a really simple user interface with the D3000: perfect for the casual photographer who wants to get some more range out of a digital camera.

The included lenses are quite good, and the autofocus so far is excellent. I quite enjoy using this camera, but I did a lot of research and knew what I was getting.

I purchased this for my girlfriend who is getting into photography. Initially, we considered a D5000 but settled on the D3000 since it is smaller and we did not need the high resolution. Overall a great beginner camera. Note that the zoom on the lens is between 3x and 3.6x so if you are looking for high zoom capability, it may be better to just get the 10-55 lens and then get a 18-135mm or 70-300mm lens.

Other good accessories: 2nd battery (for travel) and a UV lens kit. And a warranty with accidental damage to protect the camera!
