We already knew that Nikon was to launch two DSLR cameras this summer, well we can now tell you that the two cameras are the Nikon D3000 and D300s. Lenstip and Nikon Rumors offer us a first glimpse of these camera, and the wait has been worth it.

We already know much about the D300s, but not much is known about the D3000, as Nikon had not announced it. The D300s sports a microphone, which could be used for the rumored video mode. Apart from that, there is not much difference with the body from this new model and the old D300.

The body of the D3000 is similar to the D5000 (Read a detailed review), but it does not have a Microphone and of course is a little smaller. There does not seem to be a HDMI port either, so this all points to an entry-level DSLR camera. The signs are all pointing to a summer launch for both models.
