I have the D3000 with the 18-55mm Standard, Say I wanted to shoot long range Outdoor Day/Night Concerts, the Sky at night, what lens would you recommend? Just something simple for a learner. Thanks. :)

@DaniSixxxx a long focal length lens like the nikon 55-200mm or 55-300mm should suit your needs. For star and moon photography, be sure to bring a tripod and set the aperture to around f22. As a bonus, the 55-200/300mm lenses are also great for portraits and action photography.

i have the rebel xs. is this a lot better? it's a great price and im looking to start doing serious photography!! Please help!

[klausboedker]

@BreastfeedingNatural no need to upgrade. I would keep the canon xs and improve your photography as much as possible with that camera. When you feel you need to upgrade, take a step up to a mid-tier camera, like the canon 60d / nikon d7000.

Does it take hd video

[klausboedker]

@Musicmixer1994 no, the D3000 does not record video. Still a great camera, though.

I've had this camera since February of 2010 and I absolutely love it. I have absolutely no desire to upgrade to a new camera body anytime soon because I'm so happy with my D3000. It's my very first DSLR and I've built up a nice collection of different lenses. I highly recommend this camera to anoyone, especially if you're new to DSLR cameras. I've learned so much on it. Even when I do eventually upgrade to a newer Nikon body, I will never get rid of my D3000.

@klausboedker : wierd.. I was looking exactly for the opposite. I think photos without strong colours more beautiful, and every place I see they say Nikon has stronger colours than Canon. I also saw that the Canon eos 1000D has a "color tone" in its setting. I would like to know if this Nikon has something similar, to let it less vivid.

Ive had my D3000 since christmas, and although i'm fairly familiar with cameras in general, this was my first DSLR, and i didnt know this had the features you mentioned in this video.lol ^_^
