Rumors of a D3000 have been circulating for some time now and you don’t have to be clairvoyant to foresee that the Nikon’s least expensive DSLR needed an update. The D40, which held this position for over two and a half years (an impressive feat in such a fast-moving market segment) is finally disappearing from the shelves to begin building up ‘classic’ status among the million-plus users for whom it represented their first DSLR experience. Even the more recent the D60 has been on the market for more than 18 months (having itself been little more than a position-clarifying rebadging of the D40X introduced in March 2007) and has only just been jostled out of its position by the D5000. -Richard Butler
