Review Details
With the purpose to shelf out the D60, Nikon’s new D3000 comes with the same standard 18-55 mm VR, 3x optical zoom lens found on other entry-level models. There is no integrated lens motor in the body — typical for its price range. The sensor of the camera as same as the 10-MP CCD unit in the D60. The body is heavier if compared to the D60 with a larger 3-inch screen. Live view feature is still not incooperated. On the contrary, Canon has this feature on their cheaper EOS 1000D.
The upgradation to an 11 focus point system up from the 3-point system is good - complimented feature. The camera produces good images quality with the stock lens, although it’s a bit inadequate for various shooting conditions. The high ISO settings is rather good and ISO 800 is such as passe; although it’s definitely not in the D90s league. Nikon’s Guide mode simplified things for newbies with a colourful main menu for the basic operations. The controls are simple to use and unlike the expensive DSLRs, there is no dedicated ISO hardware button and the D3000 makes do with a single jog dial. So, it was forced upon onto us to use a few more buttons before shooting — good for newbies but not hardcore DSLR users. The D3000 is an impressive camera — the body has the right build, the controls are pretty simple and it gives very good results. It has a great aperture range and shutter speed.
At a worthy price tag for the Nikon D3000 of Rs. 37,950, is a worthy replacement for the entry-level winner of our DSLR test — the D60. For those who own a Nikon D60 or any other cheap dSLR in this range, this isn’t for you. You’re better off with a Sony A330, a D5000 or even the D90 if those fall within your budget.
