The purpose in them doing that is to keep the price down :-( Both my daughter and neice have the D40 and love it.. The 3000 is the new version.. If the 3000 isn't much more expensive I would go for that. Either way if she gets into photography she's going want to upgrade eventually and then she'll go to a whole other level. I started with the D50 which was previous to the 40 and even though I have a D200 now I still use the D50 as a backup and quick snapshots.
