The D3000 is the new entry level camera to the Nikon D-SLR system, replacing the venerable D60, and drawing on many of the innovative features of the recently released D5000, it also incorporates the new 'Guide Mode', a highly descriptive text and graphic interface to assist the beginner, or less experienced enthusiast photographer.
Incorporating a 10.2 mega-pixel Nikon DX-format CCD sensor supported by the innovative EXPEED image processing technology, a 3-inch, 230,000-dot LCD screen, 11-point auto-focusing system, 3D Colour Matrix metering II, the Nikon Picture Control system, plus the Scene Recognition System that helps improve the performance of auto exposure, auto focus, and auto white balance, and full compatibility with the current range of Nikon Speedlights and the Creative Lighting System, the D3000 is a very capable and flexible tool.
Completely re-designed and in full colour, the book has 304 pages, and comes with a laminated quick reference card; packed with information explaining how to use the camera to its maximum potential, it contains plenty of hints and tips that you will not find in the manual, together with numerous pictures that I have taken using the camera.
