For the money this SLR is great. 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.

I just got this camera last week. It lived up to all of the positive comments that I read in many reviews. HOWEVER, my camera has a defect that I suspect other cameras might also have. When I compose a shot with horizontal or vertical lines, they appear straight in the viewfinder, but in the picture that is taken, they are skewed by about 10-15 degrees. I take a lot of architectural photos, and my lines need to be straight. Otherwise, I would have to spend a lot of time editing in Photoshop. I called Nikon, but the juvenile at the other end of the line said this was the first time he heard of this problem, and offered no help at all. Just thought you guys should be aware. I’ll update this if Nikon can solve the problem.

As everyone who is critical of this camera says, any shots taken at ISO 800 or higher are incredibly noisy. Even worse, the resolution (not size, the screen is bigger than the D40 and D5000, but has the same # of pixels) of the screen is so bad, while reviewing a shot, the screens resolution prevents you from noticing the noise (the screen resolution will pixel-ate images 4x in) until you transfer the images.
The D40 is less noisy but does not come with VR. The D5000 comes with a VR lens in the kit, has a much better sensor, awesome ISO noise performance, and a full print manual. The price difference is less than $200 in either direction (down to the D40 or up to the D5000).

I owned a D60 but I gave it to my sister. Bought this D3000 for myself since it seemed to be better than the D0 specs wise. Boy was I wrong. The pictures from this thing are terrible compared to the D60. Now the D60 itself needed a lot of ISO twiddling then it came down to increasing the depth of field in indoor settings. With the D60, I typically always used to shoot at f10-f16 at ISO800 with in body flash to get a better DOF and D60 did a very good job of handling & suppressing the noise at ISO800, however with this D3000, the pictures at ISO 8000 are turning out to be garbage with too much noise showing. If you are interested in only potraits, you might be OK but for shots where some subjects are 4-5 ft behind others in indoor settings, this camera is going to make it virtually impossible to take good pictures in that setting.
The quality of the LCD screen seems to have dropped too..
This is going back, I think I am going to order another D60 while it is still available.
