Breathtaking digital SLR image quality and easy operation highlight the 10.2-megapixel D3000-Nikon's friendliest D-SLR ever. Compact and capable, the D3000 is compatible with a broad range of world-famous NIKKOR lenses and includes the versatile 3x, 18-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR with Silent-Wave Motor autofocusing and Nikon VR image stabilization to combat picture blur caused by camera shake for sharper handheld pictures. Special moments are captured faithfully at up to 3 frames-per-second and displayed on a bright, 3-inch LCD monitor. The D3000's split-second shutter response eliminates the annoyance of shutter lag. To further simplify picture-taking in special situations such as portraits, sports, landscapes, and more, the D3000 features icon-identified Scene Modes that deliver beautiful results automatically in otherwise complex situations. Additional Nikon technologies elevate picture quality and guard against picture-taking mistakes. Fast, accurate 11-point autofocus delivers razor sharpness. 3D Color Matrix Metering II and Nikon EXPEED image processing work with an exclusive Scene Recognition System for precise automatic exposures and rich, vivid color. Making the D3000 an even smarter choice are its exclusive Retouch functions for creative fun and the onboard Guide Mode that's ready to lend a reassuring hand to take the pictures you've always wanted.

The owners manual was not as detailed as necessary for all the functions the camera has available. I had to do a little more than expected "while I was using it" learning.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D3000 DSLR Camera 2-Lens VR Outfit (18-55 VR & AF-S DX VR 55-200mm F4-5.6G):
I have only had this camera for about a week, but so far I love it. It's going to take a little while to figure everything out about it, but thats just me, someone else may catch on quicker.
Comments about Nikon Nikon D3000 DSLR Camera 2-Lens VR Outfit (18-55 VR & AF-S DX VR 55-200mm F4-5.6G):
This is the perfect basic setup, capable of handling almost any environment. Learn to use the two lenses (VR is very useful in low-light, slow shutter speed settings), before adding any more lenses. With experience will come the knowledge of what to add to the kit. The Nikon case is just the right size. Don't forget UV filters. They are very good protection for your expensive lenses and delicate optical surfaces!

I DON'T HAVE MUCH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CAMERAS, BUT I TOOK THIS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX AND TOOK PICTURES, AFTER CHARGING THE BATTERY OF COURSE!
Comments about Nikon Nikon D3000 DSLR Camera 2-Lens VR Outfit (18-55 VR & AF-S DX VR 55-200mm F4-5.6G):
I am addicted to taking pictures again! This camera takes beautiful photos, has excellent focusing (focuses on its own), and you can take pictures in a "quite zone" because it makes little noise. I use it for family photos, nature, travel, sports (well, just about everything). I am taking it on my Alaska cruise in July and can't wait to photograph the glaciers!
I am a first time user of a SLR camera & this was incredibly easy to use. It really makes taking pictures fun! Worth every penny!

Comments about Nikon Nikon D3000 DSLR Camera 2-Lens VR Outfit (18-55 VR & AF-S DX VR 55-200mm F4-5.6G):
I have wanted one of these forever and finally received one for Christmas. My hubby is amazed at how amazing it is, and I haven't heard one complaint about how much he paid for it!! I am saving up for a better lens because he didn't find any package deals like they are offering now. The standard lens is great, don't get me wrong, but I need to be able to zoom in more for our kids' baseball and basketball seasons.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D3000 DSLR Camera 2-Lens VR Outfit (18-55 VR & AF-S DX VR 55-200mm F4-5.6G):
Overall this is a good outfit for the casual or semi professional photographer who wants to step up from their small handheld camera. The biggest con is that you have to use the view finder to see the subject. The LCD screen does not give you a preview, only a post view with options afterwards. If you want a preview then I recommend the D5000 which is more expensive but I don't feel the expense is worth the added feature. The options are good and the battery lasts longer than normal. Picture quality is good and you really don't need anything more than a 4 or 8 GB card. The camera is light and packs very easy for travel.

Not happy with any of the P&S cameras that I have owned up to this point. Finally took the plunge to upgrade to a DSLR and only wished I had done it sooner. I have found it extremely easy to use and the pictures are fantastic. I highly recommend this camera.

We bought this camera looking to get away from the point and shoots to make sure that all of our memories were saved with great quality and couldn't be happier. The camera has taken great pictures for us. It has been easy to use and has great battery life as well. Our son can no longer out run the picture and no more waiting to take the next shot.

I got this outfit with the 2 lenses for Christmas & I absolutely love it. Still learning about it but what I have seen so far it's an awesome camera. I love to go to concerts & have been missing shots with my regular digital but not anymore! I would highly recommend this camera to beginners all the way through experienced photographers.
