Little is right if you're going to treat this DSLR as a fancy P&S camera, but I think the point of buying a camera of this type (as opposed to some of the cheaper P&S's) should include: being able to get better IQ, take faster action shots and to shoot in darker conditions. We can't minimize the D3000's reduced noise handling ability in relation to the less expensive and older D40 it purports to replace (the third such attempted replacement, I may add) ([...]). You simply can't take good indoor shots (or darker) without ugly flash glare or more expensive lighting at ISO 200 on these models (can you do it at 400?). In addition, I challenge any hobbyist to be able to tell the differnece between the D3000's "faster frame rate" and the D40 in actual use (3fps v. 2.5fps); you'd have to go to 5 or 6 fps and a higher baffle before you get a workable difference, at least for my hard-earned $$. (One of the greatest cameras of all time, the Canon 5D Mark II, barely does 5fps). The D3000's GUIDE Mode will annoy anyone who actually learns the relationship between ISO, Aperature, and Shutter Speed and while useful for a newbie, not something you'd want to use for too long. The D3000's LCD is slightly larger physically, but the resolution isn't really increased from the D40 so the image produced isn't all that fetching; it's not bad, but it doesn't exactly add to its buy-me factor, either. Does this make the D3000 a bad camera? Of course not, its a good camera, but you can still get a NEW D40 for less and maybe we can't blame Nikon using fluff to try to boost its newbie/Noob sales or because it can't coax the same noise handling ability from its larger sensor. <br /> <br />Finally, yeah, the D3000 does have a few more MP's, but so did the D40x and so does the D60 and so do MANY P&S's...and they're still selling new D40's (and oh yeah, the D3000 is dropping to where it (along with its great VR lens) almost matches the D40's price and my earlier arguments become a bit moot)...don't buy into the MP Hype the sales people use to sell camera's (don't be a Noob); unless you are printing larger than 16x20 posters, 6 MP is all you will ever need, and its not a reason (by itself) to give up your hard earned $$. If you "need" things like DOF, older lens compatibility, flash control, higher frame-rate, a usable ADL/ADR assisted camera (students of photography don't really need live view...), then go for the D90 - my .02 =) A.

Debated for a long while about a super zoom or more portable point and shoot, but just can't stand the delayed response. This isn't exactly "slip in your pocket" portable, but for the great pics and super responsiveness, it's worth it. Really happy with our choice.

Better than D60 D40 and d5000. The extra 2.2 mp is not worth the extra 200$. This camera is kicking is great. Lightweight and easy to adjust setting. Would recomend for beginner photo enthusiast. Enough to play with and has plenty of advanced setting also. For the money this SLR is great. Better than D60 D40 and d5000. The extra 2.2 mp is not worth the extra 200$.
