In addition to Nikon D300S, one more DSLR camera with guide mode, was announced by Nikon. It’s Nikon D3000. Compare to D300S, it has less features but it’s an ideal choice for people looking to upgrade from point-and-shoot camera to digital SLR. It’s a pretty solid DSLR for $600, with a 10.2 MP sensor, a 230k pixel screen, 11-point autofocus system, a new Guide Mode, and an 18-55 NIKKOR VR lens.
