Customer Rating:      Summary: Flippin' Sweet Camera! Comment: This camera has been my wife's favorite camera ever. The capabilities that it has along with how easy it is to use and navigate through is unbelievable. If photography is your hobby you got to give this camera a try.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Extremely capable, Great 1st DSLR Comment: This is just what I wanted. It's not complicated, but very capable. Still far beyond my current capabilities, but between the camera and the Dummies book by Julie Adair King, I am taking noticeably better photos already. I am going to get a lot of use out of this camera, and the more I learn, the more impressed I am with it. Not having video is not a negative for me. It's a great camera for still images and that's what I want it to do. I bought a $150 HD flip camera for video. If you are deciding between brands, the others are probably really good too. But I am thoroughly happy with what I chose, and I did not spend way too much. If you are coming from a point and shoot like I was, this is a great choice.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Poor Customer service Comment: I love the camera. However, the lens can broken. When I contacted the seller, I was told that I needed to return the entire camare instead of just the lens. I didn't have time due to trip so I purchased a new lens locally and not it works just fine.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Amazing Comment: I really liked my camera. I ain't an expert but I just loved!
I can take really nice pictures with amazing quality. Really impressed!
That's all.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Had it a little over a month, and I love my camera. Comment: I've been debating between getting the Nikon d3000 and Canon XS. I never thought I would own anything other than a Canon because I was a long time Canon user. I wasn't really sure which way I would lean until I grabbed a hold of both of them in my hands at a store. I liked the way the Nikon felt in my hands. Canon just felt cheap. I've also considered Nikon d5000, but I wasn't ready to commit myself to paying that price tag for a few extras features for a beginner. For someone that is just delving into dslr and photography, I love it. I want to take photography classes so I can learn even more and improve my skills.
I get frustrated with the camera sometimes, but it's only because of my inability to understand what each function does and how to use it. I have more learning to do, which requires more patience. Now, I find myself going on random trips around Southern California just so I can take pictures and just use my camera. I take it everywhere. I know I would own this for years, but when that time comes it would be another Nikon (and it's not just because I have Nikon lenses). I love their quality. I've converted.
My only peeve, although minor, is that it doesn't have live view. I knew this going in. I thought it wouldn't be a problem because I do prefer the eye view finder, but I do take pictures with the point of view from the ground. Without live view, I really don't know what I'm taking a picture of, and I choose not to lay on the ground to find that out. I guess it will be trial and error for me and a surprise when I look at the pictures or suck it up and get down onto the ground.
