The Nikon D3000 is pretty much the perfect entry-level DSLR. It offers robust build quality, excellent handling, superior performance and good image quality, while leaving out superfluous gimmicks like video and live view.
Can the Nikon D3000 record video?
Thank goodness the D3000 has no video mode or Live View. DSLR video modes make crappy video and clog up the camera’s operation and price, so not having video makes for a better camera at a better price. Likewise, Live View is largely another fluff feature which jacks up the price, and which few people can figure out.

The D3000 continues in this mold, but if anything, is even easier to get to grips with thanks to the introduction of a new ‘guide’ mode.
