Nikon D3000 (with 18mm-55mm lens)
Beginner-friendly Guide mode ; nicely laid out interactive control panel ; solid photo quality up through ISO 1,600
Extremely basic feature set ; annoying multiselector switch
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 newbie friendly.

Nikon D3000
For two and a half years, an extraordinary run in the fast-moving digital camera market, the shopper looking for the lowest-cost Nikon digital SLR reached for the Nikon D40, a 6.1-megapixel model originally priced at $600. Now the company has finally ...
The new camera is virtually identical in size and shape to the D40, which is a good thing. Sometimes entry-level SLRs have an unpleasantly toy-like quality. The D3000, however, feels like a Nikon SLR is supposed to feel, with a well designed right ...

Nikon D3000 Review: Field Test Report
Nikon's D40 and D40x were very popular entry-level DSLRs but the replacement model is even more desirable. While it's also very budget-friendly, the equally small D3000 offers some valuable benefits in spite of the pleasantly low price (about $600 ...
Nikon has a well-earned reputation as a manufacturer of high performance equipment in the pro and semi-pro categories. That cachet extends to their more affordable DSLRs too; in fact, Nikon has sold over a million of the D40/D40x models. The D3000 ...

The guide mode is helpful at times. The body is lightweight. The The auto focus and shutter work smoothly. Seems very sturdy. Affordable and comes with a lens
The controls can be frustrating and should be more user-friendly than the are. Limited functions. No video mode. Focus area sensitive, UV sensitive (over). ISO of 3200 not offered

"Entry level...????!!!! What exactly does that mean?!"
Brilliant camera... it's for taking photos......
Just thought I'd add my concerns over the use of "entry level" as a description for these Nikon and other similar DSLR... it's a highly sophisticated photo taking machine... and the only thing entry level may be the photographer
Cons? To come up with any cons would be churlish and smug... I started with a Zenith E... another brilliant camera then an MTL5... then a Nikon F-301... all brilliant cameras
