A brief Overview - Nikon D3000:
Nikon deserves a big round of applause for another successful attempt to put a DSLR in the hands of people who are trying to upgrade from a point-and-shoot camera or even first time camera buyers. Even confident and creative compact-camera users tend to cringe and quiver when you pass them a DSLR; there's something about that forebodingly large black body and plethora of buttons and dials that puts people off..
Nikon announced the newest addition to its family of quality DX-format digital SLRs, the Nikon D3000. Combining in-camera assistance and supreme ease-of-use with Nikon's renowned technology, the Nikon D3000 is the ideal choice for people looking to upgrade from their point-and-shoot camera to a digital SLR. The Nikon D3000 SLR camera features a new Guide mode - a hassle-free way for less-experienced picture-takers to master the capabilities of digital SLR cameras. Through its intuitive user-friendly interface, Guide mode assists users in choosing shooting modes for a variety of situations and, if they choose, in exploring advanced photographic techniques.
