Nikon D3000 10MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens & 55-200mm DX Zoom Lens Accessory Kit
Definitely too much camera for the casual user. However, point and shoot features and picture quality are great. It's going to take a lot of practice to master the other features if you're not an experienced photographer which I am not. Pop up flash is pretty limited. An auxilliary flash to enhance photo shooting quality is recommended. If you're not an experienced photog, I recommend buying "Nikon D3000 For Dummies", or the "Nikon D3000 Digital Field Guide" by J. Dennis Thomas to better understand the camera's features and uses. They both provide enhanced step-by-step details on using the camera way beyond the instruction manual that comes with the camera.
