However, we are pleased to see progress elsewhere, with a new autofocus system with eleven points, a larger LCD screen and a renewed effort by Nikon to make this camera easy to use for beginners with a new graphical interface.

With its sturdy frame, the D3000 is similar to its big sisters, the D40x and the D60, and it is easy to keep it in hand with a grip well designed. Anyone with big feet will have a little ‘difficulty with its small buttons, but overall, the D3000 is pretty good: it is well built, with a decent optical viewfinder (albeit not as good as the Pentax Km), and Most controls are well placed, as the ring around the shutter button to turn on and off or the scroll wheel on the back. The viewfinder is too small for manual focusing, but given the smallness of 18-50 mm lens, but not would you use it. There is also good news, the rangefinder is available and you can also display a grid that helps you organize the composition of photos.

In general, this is a reactive reflex camera: turn it on without the sensor cleaning is fast and the burst mode of 3 fps is acceptable, as the audience you are addressing this Nikon camera.

Anyone who prefers to see a live preview on the screen, definitely choose the’Olympus E-520 or the Canon 1000D, the only two entry-level digital SLR to offer this feature. The camera Olympus also offers integrated stabilization, an effective anti-dust system, but could profit from a better system for noise reduction. The camera Olympus also offers integrated stabilization, an effective anti-dust system, but could profit from a better system for noise reduction. For its part, the Canon 1000D produces good photos, has lots of included software and a large collection of targets.

However, the Nikon D3000 still has many features to commend it, as the eleven-point autofocus system that is fast and efficient thanks to its 3D model, excellent noise management thinking and a new redesigned interface for beginners.
