Nikon D3000 Digital SLR

The Nikon D3000 Digital SLR has shown the industry how a digital camera should be. Combining easy to use features with features you would normally only find in expensive and hard to use high end cameras, the D3000 has everything you could ever need.

The greatest feature is the new Guide mode. It makes taking pictures easier if you are just learning how to use a digital camera. It lets you master using SLR cameras, something that was previously not possible for beginners to do. Utilising an interface which is very user-friendly, Guide mode helps users in choosing the best shooting mode for various situations as well as even giving them options for advanced photography techniques. From close-ups to landscapes, and portraits to fast-moving objects, the Guide mode truly makes any picture possible by assisting the user to choose which options are best suited for what they are trying to achieve with digital SLR technology. Settings that are made with the Guide mode can even be adjusted before taking the picture to ensure the highest quality photos possible with this camera.

Despite the very simple interface, the D3000 is able to pack quite a punch with its brilliant picture quality. With 10.2 megapixels, the CCD sensor in Nikon’s DX-format, EXPEED image processing, and compatibility with many of the famous NIKKOR lenses, the D3000 truly meets and exceeds every expectation for a digital camera, producing images with fine detail even at the closest zoom, while still able to maintain the sharpness.

Other interesting features include Nikon’s Scene Recognition System, an Active D-Lighting, the ability to shoot up to 3 frames every second, and an 11 point selectable auto-focus.

One of the incredible physical features includes the 3 inch 230k dot TFT monitor, which is larger than most digital cameras. This improves the ability to read menus, with a 20% larger font size than the Nikon D60.

Whether you plan to just point and shoot, or you want to use the advanced features for taking exceptional photographs, the D3000 will enable you to do whatever you want, and with more ease than most cameras on the market.

With 10.2 megapixels to use, the D3000 will allow you to take high-resolution and high-quality photographs with the ability to fine tune things such as ISO. You can set the ISO sensitivity from 100 all the way up to 1600. There is also a Hi 1 mode which puts the ISO to 3200 for those times when you need that extra sensitivity.

The scene recognition is also another amazing feature of the camera. It analyses the entire scene which you are about to take a picture of, and within milliseconds makes smart decisions based on colour and illumination of the scene. It then adjusts white balance, exposure and even autofocus accordingly to ensure the highest quality pictures available.

The final feature which sets this camera apart from its competition is the EXPEED image processing system. This is what powers things such as scene recognition, and keeps the colours brilliant. Without, the camera wouldn’t have much power over it’s competitors, and this is what makes the D3000 such a great product.
