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. When browsing menus, simply press the Help button to display a detailed description of the selected item.

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-center subjects.

Scene Recognition System — Brains behind the beauty
Nikon’s exclusive Scene Recognition System utilizes a 420-segment RGB sensor to analyze a composition immediately before you take the shot. It then automatically optimizes exposure, autofocus, and white balance, allowing you to obtain beautiful photos without the hassle of making complicated camera




Active D-Lighting — What you see is what you get Take the guesswork out of tricky photo situations with Scene Modes. Simply turn the mode dial to SCENE and choose the mode that matches the mood. The D3000 does the rest, automatically adjusting exposure, image processing, Active D-Lighting and other settings for just the right look. Sample photos appear on the display to help you select modes - a nice touch for less-experienced photographers.

They are Hong Kong imports, I'd rather pay the extra £1 and get it from Amazon for a high priced item like this

Good deal for a good camera. I've sold all my DSLR kit because it is all becoming obsolete and trash so quickly. I will revisit buying when the technology is matured and settled down.

It's starting to get better now, Canon have released the G11 with 10MP compared to the previous model the G10 which had 14MP. The stupid consumer megapixel race might be coming to an end hopefully.

Nice - I saw this kit in Costco Reading yesterday for £420-ish inc. VAT and thought it was cheap, the one in Costco came with a 2Gb SD Card and £5 free prints though.

Which code is that then? I have been looking out for this camera for a while and this is the best price I have seen it for from a reliable source

Curry's Camera is £429, enter code (Save4) at checkout and that knocks it down to £411.84, plus go through quidco 3% = £399.48, its only about a 50p saving but still cheaper. Also this camera was at a lower price £386.99 somewhere 2 weeks ago but can not remember where. Also available at Dixons Tax Free for £379, get your self some 1p flights with ryanair and your laughing.
