Does not mention the memory card size. Usually some cameras come with a default 32 MB card. Is it the same for SLR cameras. Since i’m gonna pay a big price for it, so want to know if it is included or not.

It does not.
The 32 mb memory your are referring to belongs to the P&S cameras and is NOT a card, but internal memory, used to help sell the camera on the showroom flow.
NO DSLR comes with any memory cards unless the retailer includes it as promotion
Get two 4 gb, class 6 memory cards if you can find some and use them until you have learned how to use your camera will.
You cannot be paying too big a price for the D3000 since it is an entry level camera and 4 gb memory cards are selling for under $ 12 this weekend at certain shops, so an extra $ 24 for two 4 gb cards should not be a big deal. While you are in the store, buy a UV filter too. You don’t want this to happen to your lens.

This happened during a shoot and the UV filter saved my lens. The UV filter will also reduce the amount or wear and tear on the lenses special coating because you only have to make sure it is clean when you put the filter on the lens… from then on, all you can damage is a $ 35-$ 85 filter if you get heavy handed in your cleaning process
