REVIEW Nikon D3000 (with 18mm-55mm lens)

2009-09-27T10:17:00.001-07:00

Product summary REVIEW Nikon D3000 (with 18mm-55mm lens)

The good: Beginner-friendly Guide mode; nicely laid out interactive control panel; solid photo quality up through ISO 1,600.

The bad: Extremely basic feature set; annoying multiselector switch.

The bottom line: Its feature set is basic even by entry-level standards, but the Nikon D3000 delivers the photo quality and performance you expect when stepping up to a dSLR, with an optional interface that's very newbie friendly.

Specifications: Digital camera type: SLR ; Resolution: 10.2 megapixels ; Display type: 3 in LCD display
