I have friends that have used this camera for years with great images. A 10.2MP image can easily produce an 8 x 10 print beautifully. At this price point it would make a great first camera for children or even adults.
The D3000 will be easy to carry weighing in at 1.5 lb with lens on. I am an avid Canon guy and, anyone who knows me knows I am far and at $249 I can't find anything in the Canon line up. This SLR includes a 3-inch color LCD screen to view all the settings and the image after the shot.
I can't find anything at all wrong with this deal. WOOT could have given free shipping but $4.99 isn't so bad. You do get a 90 day factory warranty. I would recommend that you get out and take a couple hundred shots to insure everything works well within the first 90 days of having it.
So, I did a little more research and found this great deal on the Nikon D5200 "Refurbished" for only $429.99 with free shipping. This is a big step up for not a whole lot more money. Check it out!
Here is your chance! Good luck. Now don't forget if you are a member of Ebates you can get an extra 5% cash back on this purchase.
