Wait! Am I the only one getting super confused by the Nikon numbering scheme? So the D300s is obviously a semi-pro level camera, given its price, but how does the D3000 fit in with the D40-60-80-90 series?

@John - Well to me it looks like more of a replacement to the D60 than anything, as the D60 doesn't feature the {fancy} 11 point tracking AF system.

Maybe Nikon's "done a Microsoft" and has made it deliberately bad... Only a nice review will see! :D

@ John - It works out like this: The D40 has been discontinued :(. The D3000 replaces the D60 as the entry level, D5000 goes inbetween D3000 and D90, to fight the beefed up in specs Canon 450-500D. D90 - Enthusiast, D300s - Semi Pro, D700 up - Pro.

P.S Cliff, the Nikon 18-200mm pic is of the old lens!

As of now the lineup is D3000, D5000, D90, D300 - everything else is being phased out.
