I knew I wanted a DSLR and after a few months of debate, I decided to go for the D3000. I was tempted to buy a used D40 but the improvements made to the D3000 were hard to ignore. I ended up buying the D3000 in a bundle on Black Friday which saved me about 150 dollars! As a college students, I was beyond happy to save the money.
The features include almost anything I need (there's only one feature missing: a color selection tool that my dad's Canon has but the D3000 doesn't) and the portability is incredible. I am still in shock about how light the camera is.
For a beginner like me, having the D3000 with an extra telephoto lens is perfect for learning the ropes and hopefully taking a photography class with. I highly recommend this for beginners and perhaps intermediate photographers. Advanced and professionals photographers probably would require more heavy duty equipment.

I am a Beginner Photography with not alot of money and not alot of experience, i chose Nikon of Canon because of a few things.
1. User FRIENDLY, GUIDE MODE IS A MUST! The whole camera is FILLED with tips and EXAMPLES and settings of what to do and how to achieve such and such. Guide mode holds your hand for newbies to give you an idea of whats what, i love how the Nikon D3000 is Half a book and All camera! Thanks Nikon for making such a great quality camera.
2. Takes Great pictures, as an entry level dslr it takes great pictures but i think its the same sensor as the d60 just with 11 points of focus , the 11 point focus is definitely useful, theres more areas for your subject to be in, and Depth of field pictures are definitely easier to do with more focus points.
The Nikon d3000 with the 18-55mm lens is perfect for everyday use but not enough, i suggest it should be complimented with a 55-200mm, because sometimes you cannot get close enough to the subject without getting in the way of the people around you!
The Screen is big and wide and perfect for reviewing images and looking at settings, you dont have to look hard. The settings do get washed out in direct sunlight so try to keep it in your shadow
Also post processing of pictures comes out AWESOME!!! i could not believe the level of detail i saw on my computer, it wasnt blurry and zooming in is really pixel squares.
Nice camera for beginners, if your novice or pro this camera isnt for you, while a newbie like me appreciate the tips it does take a while to get around the settings but you get used to it, there is no quick access to any 1 setting but soon your fingers will be faster than any other photographer, once you get used to all the navigating.
ALSO this is a camera where you can customize the background of your screen! you can have a wallpaper of a picture or change the color.
I hope this is a comprehensive review that will satisfy you into buying the camera :D

Tremenda camara para principiantes, la compre para mi hijo de 12 años y es perfecta tanto para el y para mi, estoy bien complacido

Both camera companies have five letters in their titles, however, only one company has a Wow! -- Nikon. I purchased a Canon PowerShot two years ago and thought that I was royalty. Well, that was then; this is now. With the Nikon D3000, I am king of the world.
My brother gave me the Nikon D3000 for Christmas.
It's virtually impossible to take a bad photo with the Nikon D3000. I am impressed with the Retouch features that will make a photo brighter, take out any red eye, do a color balance to your perfection (remember, the purple color of a lilac is just about impossible to capture but you can get that defined color with the color balance feature on the Nikon D3000), or trim a photo to take out any unwanted scenery or subjects.
I took photos of my Christmas tree at night and the pictures are spectacular and the multi-color lights cast their hues to their true colors.
Sure, there is the competition that gives you 19 scene modes, but really, the only two you need are Auto and Auto no flash. If you are at a fireworks display or at an aquarium, the auto no flash is all you need.
Who wants a movie mode with a camera? I have a Sony HD camcorder that takes 1080P movies and I know there is no camera on the market that can take superior movies like the HD camcorder. When cameras supply a movie mode, something in relation to picture quality is going to be sacrificed.
Who needs Live View? When you are outside in the bright sun, you can't see the image on the LCD screen while shooting.
People pay for gingerbread....I want a great camera, instead.
This Nikon D3000 is the best camera I have ever owned.
This camera is so good that the President would consider hiring me to be his personal photographer.
