I know there are some lovers, and a lot of haters, of Ken Rockwell so I'm curious to hear if anyone else has a good review of the D3000. From what I read from Rockwell, his biggest gripe is that the camera has poor ISO capabilities, its slow to operate because of its ADR, and not so easy to use.
My brother in law recently baught the camera, and from my quick use of it (compared to my D40) I was quite impressed. The things I noticed right away were the 11 point autofocus and the 100 ISO ability. Considering that the D40 only as a 3 point AF and 200 ISO, I thought that was a huge improvement.
I had to do some research to find out what ADR was (Adaptive Dynamic Range) and I was disapointed to learn that it is the same thing as adjusting the curves on a RAW image. The camera does it automatically... I always prefer to do it manually. I would have this turned off anyway.
I guess I'm just surprised to see Rockwell trash the D3000 so hard, and he even makes it a point several times to point out how superior the D40 is, I can't really see how the D40 is better at all.
Am I wrong?
