The fantastic results you can achieve on the D3000 are a direct result of the new features and technologies Nikon have engineered for this incredibly compact digital SLR.

Intelligent Guide Mode

The D3000 Intelligent Guide mode helps you take your photography to new heights, revealing techniques you thought were the exclusive realm of professional photographers but which you can now call your own. Artistry like blurring backgrounds or freezing fast-moving action is easily accomplished with the D3000. Always ready to extend a helping hand, the D3000 includes a practical Help function.

Nikon DX-Format CCD Sensor; 10.2 Effective Megapixels

Combining a CCD sensor with Nikon’s famed EXPEED image processing system, the D3000 produces finely detailed photos that exhibit exceptional color and sharpness as well as smooth gradation, and does so at lightning-quick speed. The high resolution also gives you the freedom to print beautiful enlargements and crop more creatively without loss of sharpness.

11-Point Autofocus System for Tack-Sharp Results

The diamond-shaped array of 11 autofocus points provides outstanding coverage for achieving focus no matter where the subject is located in the frame. Additionally, four AF-area modes (Single-point, Dynamic-area, Auto-area and 3D-tracking), cover any situation, from fast or unpredictable action to static, off-centre subjects.
