Reviews of the Nikon D3000 (with 18mm-55mm lens)

CNET Review
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 beginner friendly.
