I occasionally check some local sale sites, Craigslist, Market place, etc. I find Canon and Nikon in about even numbers with an with Canon usually being the Rebel model  and 90% of the Nikons being D3200 with a few D3000, D3300, D3400 and an occasional D40 or D70. The D40 and D70 go for about $100. The D3000 series is all over the place from $139-$350. Is there a reason so many people want to get rid of the 3000 series?

They are entry level and very menu driven. They are good little cameras to learn the basics on, but people often outgrow the features they have, at least they think so…

D3200 & D3300 - I like them.

I have one of each. One stays in the car, just I go out without something else.

The other one gets used for macro & holidays, when I don't want to take an arm full of equipment.

 

The dynamic range of them is poor, making them unusable in low light conditions.
