Nikon D3000 digital slr

The Nikon D3000 digital slr is one of the best cameras by Nikon that has taken the entry-level sector of DSLRs by storm. It is indeed a top-end model that proves why Nikon is among the bestsellers in the DSLR market. Although Nikon D3000 is actually related to D40 and D60 in terms of its ergonomics, while its internal functions are somewhat identical to the D90 as well as to D5000. The key shooting parameters were made astoundingly with the rather unconventional yet beautiful interface. The best feature of Nikon D3000 is the manual focusing rangefinder indicator that can be used in the viewfinder. This one is best utilized on still subjects, but may not be that useful with a moving one.
The AF system of D3000 is superb; it has the great 3D AF tracking that is usually found only in more expensive digital SLRs. The Nikon D3000 digital slr is truly a bargain with its versatile and user-friendly retouch options, which includes an in-camera RAW processing. This feature also makes it very convenient to convert image formats, particularly the very effective JPEG mode which can be utilized effectively. Well, the best part in the JPEG mode is that there`s an unlimited shooting of JPEG images while the ADL is turned off. The control buttons and function icons are great as well, showing an effective and convenient ergonomics.
While Nikon D3000 is not as expensive as most digital SLRs in the entry-level sector, its built is great with the absence of creaks. During tricky scenes, the Active D-lighting is very helpful in recovering the maximum tonal detail, giving a better image and video output. Even if flash is not used, the exposures which has a compensation range of -+5EV are still good and reliable. The battery life is great as well when compared to digital SLRs of its class. At default settings, Nikon D3000 digital slr has a traditional approach in terms of ISO noise reduction, giving high quality. While it does not contain the Capture NX2, Nikon D3000 is still good to have the View NX software. Lastly, it has a built-in AF assist lamp that is very useful during low lighting.
Nikon D3000 digital slr is great with the overall features, but just like any other camera, it has its drawbacks. One of which is the absence of Live View and front control dial. Another is the poor white balance when artificial lighting is used. However, Nikon D3000 is still a good buy considering its lower price against other DSLRs.
