Researching the D3000 would be very simple. it was just the cover story
on Popular Photography.

I just gave you the link to the full review on DPreview where I pulled
the line saying the D3000 had no LiveView compared to the D5000 which
does.

I had that problem when I brought my camera Canon S70
from a supplier pixelmania or something like that.
They did supply the manual and but it was in French..
When I visited the canon site UK, they wanted money for it.
I went to the US site and it was a free PDF download.

There ARE reasons to shop and buy at camera stores. Hands on usage, and
pointed questions being key.
