[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 99153, member: 12214"] I'm still using my D3000 which I bought almost 3 years ago. It was my first (and still only) DSLR, and it has been serving me very well since day 1. Even my spousal unit, who is a technophobe, and definitely not into photography, can use it without a hitch. It reminds me a lot of the N8008, which I had. I bought it when I realized I needed to finally bite the bullet and go digital. It replaced the 8008 and F4, both of which had served me very well for many years. I bought it because, at the time, that was all I could afford, and I did not have to give up any of my lenses. I don't mind that my AF lenses from my F4 could only be used on manual focus, but at least they work! :) I am planning on getting the D7000 some time soon, but I will keep the D3000 as a back up. I happen to like the camera, even though a lot of reviewers were not happy with it. It has taken excellent photos, is light enough to carry around all day, and I just like it. [/QUOTE]
