Pros: Lightness, CCD sensor that returns exciting images from a chromatic point of view and above all with excellent dynamics, price today

Cons: Not excellent ISO sealing, better not to exceed 800, it does not have an AF motor, only three focus points (but it is still an entry level

Opinion: Had for a period on loan from a friend of mine years ago, with the 18-55 in kit and a very questionable Tamron 70-300, I took it with me both night and day almost everywhere. It churned out extremely workable files, already excellent at the origin both in JPG and especially in RAW, in the second case it is always as a shot of course. I liked it from the first shots, really sensational colors (only in some cases I noticed a certain hyperchromia tending to "warm" but not too much), very ergonomic and light, with optics, however, more performing and often heavy but it is very unbalanced. Its advantage is also its ease of use. It returns excellent photos during the day, at night in my opinion you should not go beyond 800 iso so as not to have too compromised files, so let's forget about milky and indoor photos, unless you use 1.8 / 1.4 lenses, therefore fixed, but usually those who have these lenses will not have/use an entry level. Even today it is an absolutely valid camera, without useless frills (such as videos and social stuff) and which is an excellent alternative to the (in my opinion) very useless and senseless 5xxx series which in addition to this has practically nothing but the highest price.

Pros: Good image quality, lightweight and ergonomic body, latest generation CCD sensor

Cons: For those who just want to take good photos: None!

Opinion: For most of the photos you do not need the live view, I can still do without it. Then those who love photography, do not even realize that the D3000 does not make videos and, in any case, for videos, it is often better to resort to a mirrorless or even a mobile phone instead of a SLR, unless it is one of the last generations. High myth to dispel is the poor resistance to high ISO of the D3000; it simply has a low noise correction algorithm, so the photos, although affected by noise, remain full of details and pleasing to the eye (thanks to the CCD!). In this regard, I note, in fact, that with a simple and little correction in post-production, you can get photos practically smooth and similar to those of much more modern and more expensive machines. This means that the sensor has an excellent exposure latitude and therefore a good seal at high ISO, contrary to what you often hear around! The fact is that those who use a camera of this type, hardly resort to corrections a posteriori with photo editing programs. It is enough, however, to try to believe and you can easily detect that it is, instead, a very performing camera.

Pros: My first SLR. See the difference. CCD sensor. Resistant.

Cons: No live view, no video compartment (not important).

Opinion: My first SLR. I had chosen it at the expense of the nikon d3100 for which I later regretted. It is true that it has a ccd sensor but has a very low sensitivity to iso. Little performance but will always remain my first SLR. Vote 8 Later I had resold it at a low price to buy the nikon d5100 that is still in my possession.

Pros: Robust body, image quality, ease of use, price.

Cons: No live view, no video, and noisy ISOs.

Opinion: I am not a professional, I come from a Fujifilm bridge, so it seems to me a new planet and of a higher level, as a result the ISOs are not particularly annoying to me, I honestly find the absence of live view quite uncomfortable, focus that sometimes groped in executing commands, but for the price paid and my claims it is really a good compromise.

Pros: light, durable, easy to use

Cons: ISO plasticosa noise

Opinion: My first digital SLR. Taken well above the 170,000 shots and still continues to work in the hands of those who bought it (I regretted not having kept it). The body has a plastic feel but is very robust (I have often used it in the mountains) limited in controls (you must always enter the menus to change the main settings) and the CCD sensor already at 400 ISO starts to show its limits but if you stay between 100-200 ISO gives beautiful satisfaction. Excellent for learning without spending a fortune.
