Product Summary
Nikon D3000 (with 18mm-55mm and 55mm-200mm lens)
price range: $696.95 - $799.95
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.
