Nikon D3000 Review: Evolutionary, Rather Than Revolutionary

When it comes to entry-level cameras many people seem to dismiss their importance, it is these that allows for first-time DSLR users to decide if these types of cameras are for them. The Nikon D3000 is the latest entry-level digital camera and a recent review certainly helps to shed some light on this latest device.

The D3000 is the replacement for the D60, which was Nikon’s best selling DSLR. Other DSLR makers will be looking closely at the success of this camera, as it will dictate to them how they need to change their next entry-level DSLRs.

Digital Photography Review has spent some time with the new Nikon D3000, and has written an extensive review as well as offering a number of high-res images. They point out that the new model offers the same 10-megapixel technologies as the D60 and comes incased in an almost identical body.

Nikon had to work hard on this all-important camera and had to do much more than just a cosmetic revamp. The old D60 had an unimpressive 3-point AF system; the new D3000 comes with a much-improved 11-point system.

The writer of the review concludes that the Nikon D3000 is more of an “evolutionary, rather than revolutionary update” but the new features offered are considered a real value.
