from Nikon

Product description

Breathtaking digital SLR image quality and easy operation highlight the 10.2-megapixel D3000, Nikon's friendliest D-SLR ever.

Compact and capable, the D3000 is compatible with a broad range of world-famous NIKKOR lenses and includes the versatile 3x, 18-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR with Silent-Wave Motor autofocusing and Nikon VR image stabilization to combat picture blur caused by camera shake for sharper handheld pictures.

Special moments are captured faithfully at up to 3 frames-per-second and displayed on a bright, 3-inch LCD monitor.

The D3000's split-second shutter response eliminates the annoyance of shutter lag.

To further simplify picture-taking in special situations such as portraits, sports, landscapes, and more, the D3000 features icon-identified Scene Modes that deliver beautiful results automatically in otherwise complex situations.

Additional Nikon technologies elevate picture quality and guard against picture-taking mistakes.

Fast, accurate 11-point autofocus delivers razor sharpness. 3D Color Matrix Metering II and Nikon EXPEED image processing work with an exclusive Scene Recognition System for precise automatic exposures and rich, vivid color.

Making the D3000 an even smarter choice are its exclusive Retouch functions for creative fun and the onboard Guide Mode that's ready to lend a reassuring hand to take the pictures you've always wanted.

Continuous Shooting at up to 3 fps Captures fast action, precious moments and fleeting expressions easily 6 Automatic-Exposure Scene Modes Including Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports Close-up or Night Portrait for stunning results in otherwise challenging conditions 3-inch Color LCD Monitor - Bright, high-resolution, 170-degree wide-angle viewing for easy picture review and sharing.

Customer Review: Not Good...Better Off with d40 or d5000 I purchased this camera to replace my old d40. It was not a good replacement. The positives are that it is small, portable and light for a DSLR. It takes ok pictures in good lighting. But that's about it. Now for the negatives...The Guide Mode, which seems like it would be helpful, isn't really. It is hard to use and much easier to shoot in manual or any other mode. The LCD screen is bad and images looks really coarse. The big reason I don't like this camera is that it doesn't take great pictures. It's hard to get a good picture in low light and it is really noisy when you shoot above 800 ISO. I returned my d3000. You are better off with a d40 for less money, or a d5000 (which is what I purchased) for slightly more money.


Customer Review:

Great camera and service!
I love this camera!! I'm somewhat a novice, but am learning and this makes it easy for beginners, plus has lots of features for more advanced users, so I can grow into it.
