"Horrible customer service, good pics if you don't have spots in the picture" 2010-05-01By
NamasteMy dad bought me a Nikon D3000 for Christmas 2009. I got it in January 2010. By March it was showing a blackish/brown spot in all of my pictures!!!! I spent almost $20 to send it to Nikon, with the understanding that there is a one year warranty on it. Fine, ok, I guess. I didn't hear back from them. The tracking code said it had arrived, but still didn't hear from them. I called and they showed nothing in their computer on it. Called back a week later...finally it was showing, along with a bill to charge me $171.47 to fix it!!!! It was only a few months old!! That is so screwed! They won't take money orders, only credit cards and checks. Our cards are full and we don't have checks. I asked how I was supposed to pay for it and they repeated "check or credit card". I don't have the money to pay it in one payment, it would have to be payments. But how?
So they said I have 45 days to pay for it or they ship it back. 45 days from a date that they put out there, and didn't tell me about it til I got a letter telling me, a week later. Ugh!
Now I have to figure out how to pay $171 bucks, in 45 days, or get back a defective camera that puts spots on everything! I will never buy another NIKON. Should have gotten a Canon. I have tried Canon, Fuji and Sony and I've never had problems with spots on the lens or pictures.
My daughter has an HP laptop she bought in August and a few months later the screen went out. They shipped her a box, post paid, fixed it, retained all her info on it and had it back to her within a WEEK! Now that is service!! NIKON should take lessons because I have read other negative reviews of NIKON's ways of handling their product. If it says NIKON ON IT, THEY SHOULD FIX IT FREE AT LEAST FOR A YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
I also want to note that my dad bought a D90 and his is not focusing when it takes video. NIKON actually tried to convince him he had to manually focus the camera as he is filming, even though it did at first. I call BS! I don't know what he's going to do either. GRRRRRR!!!

I am an amateur photographer, at best. I used to have the Nikon D40X, but it disappeared in the hands of a thief. So I saved my pennies for a while, and finally I went out and bought this Nikon D3000.
It is startlingly good. I'm not sure what, exactly, the Genies of Nikon have been up to, but this camera is a hell of a lot better than the D40X, and the D40X was a hell of a good camera!
If you are looking through the reviews here, the most interesting review (for me) was the one by the guy who bought the Nikon, disliked it, traded it in on a Canon, and came out preferring the Nikon he had originally rejected. Why? Well, he said something almost mystical: the Nikon pictures were more "involving" --- they invited the viewer into the scene.
I've found the same to be true with my Nikons. People will say, "Great picture!" and I'll be thinking "It's just a picture from my Nikon."
A fantastic camera! Everyone who works at Nikon deserves a glass of champagne! :-)
"Worst Nikon DSLR? yes. Cheapest one? also yes" 2010-04-29By
R. Barrios Arias (San Salvador, El Salvador)
I bought this camera after taking in consideration all the other brands in the same entry level DSLRs
ill resume the pros and cons of the camera.
Pros:
-Very cheap
-great lens in the kit
-great picture quality
-Fast focus
-Small
Cons:
-NOISE is nasty after ISO 400, afecting lowlight conditions capabilities, which is one of the main reasons
you buy a DSLR.
-Lack of bracketing for HDR pictures
-LCD screen is the worst ive ever seen
-Max shutter speed with flash is 1/200, too slow for fast action photos.
in conclusion is a great entry level camera witha great price, but have a lot of sad flaws like the very bad LCD, leaving you blind to evaluate the pictures you are taking (mostly with low light).

I bought this camera to give to my wife for her birthday. She's an avid SLR hobbiest and although she's no professional, she knows and applies more than basics to her shots. I wanted to get her a camera that would allow her to do everything she knows how to do, but not be intimidating in control and features. I looked between the Nikon and Canon and eventually went with the Nikon because it had about the same features with a better price. If I was more concerned about upgradeability I probably would have purchased the Canon. The 18-55mm zoom lens is extremely versatile and the features are great. It basically shoots instantaneously when you hit the button, and the three shots per second work fantastic. Overall it has been everything we wanted in a camera, and the results speak for themselves, she has shots that look professional (she says it was all the camera). A nice bonus is that even for its size, it's fairly light weight. I would reccomend this camera for any hobbiest looking for a good digital camera and you don't need video.
"Great Starter DSLR" 2010-04-15By
T. HoffmanThis camera is amazing. Has a ton of manual features but also full auto. Autofocus is fast and quiet, but the kit lens is not a sufficient lens. I will be buying an 18-200mm lens to get a good all round lens. Picture quality is amazing, feels great in your hands. Definately the best starter DSLR on the market for the features and money.
