Nikon D3000 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera

Nikon D3000 is a beginner / camera input. Replaces the Nikon D60. There are three major update of the D3000 to D60. There are 11 auto-focus system with 3D tracking and monitoring dynamic. The AF system is the same mid-range/enthusiast Nikon D90. In addition, the LCD is extended to 3 inches by 2.5 inches. However, the resolution remains unchanged at 230 000 points. Another novelty is the possibility of lead, this new way of working is like your basic photography teacher. It helps the camera at the same time, you are informed about the basic concepts and photography. Apart from that, everything seems the same, the buttons, positioning and image quality and resolution. It is a medium-sized digital SLR camera for beginners. But if you come from a compact camera, it may surprise some dimension. On the other hand, if you come from Advanced Digital SLR cameras, then you feel this unit is compact and lightweight. Nikon D3000 has a wide range, which will use most of the time to change the shutter speed and aperture. What we are top of the unit. Several basic buttons such as play, removing menus, magnifiy / zoom and exposure compensation. There is also a function key (Fn) on the left side near the flash, which can be tailored to your needs. Coming back to the front, like a Nikon D90, which lacks the ISO button, shutter button mode image quality and AF White balance button. To change the settings, you need to go into the recording menu (green camera icon). I advise you to customize the Fn key, so you quickly change the preferred key. D3000 my Fn key on the ISO setting. Build quality and ergonomics of the Nikon D3000 body is made of durable plastic. There is a texture on the grip for a comfortable grip guaranteed. The quality of the construction of the outer envelope is the same or nearly the same as Nikon D90. The difference is that there is finally more texture to the body Nikon D90. Ergonomically, it's good to have, but the space between the frame and the grip is quite narrow. If the lens mount, or more if you have large hands, you do not feel good. Compare Nikon D60, I realized that the handle is bent, a little pointed. It is a small improvement can be seen. D3000 3-inch LCD screen LCD with 230K resolution. This is regarded as essential, but the screen is sharp and clear. If you want to see the details or the pixel level, it is preferable to control the images on your computer. Under the conditions of bright light, this screen is pretty good. There is minimal glare / reflection. D3000, Nikon has a 95% coverage and 0.8x magnification viewfinder. It is considered low for digital SLR, but for people who move from the compact superzoom or advanced, the viewfinder is larger and much clearer. The manual method is more difficult than other digital SLR cameras from Nikon's most advanced. Like the Nikon, Nikon D5000 D3000 no LCD or advanced high resolution camera like the D90. Unlike many of its competitors in the entry-level DSLR, Nikon D3000 does not have Live View. Nikon D3000 is compatible with the Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR. The lens has a plastic mount, but recommended the image quality and light. It is clear, as always for the goals of professional quality, but the goal through a free vote is more than ten-fold, 18-55mm VR also one of the best lenses on the market value. The objective function is used as image stabilization Vibration Reduction (VR). It works well and in silence for three points. If you hold the camera steady, you can take until the second quarter, without motion blur. Unfortunately, the D3000 equipped with a fire truck into the camera, so no big goals venerable Nikon AF 50mm f / 1 8 Nikon 85mm f/1.4D or the legendary. Goals that are compatible with this camera is the goal that has accumulated on the engine (usually AF-S has the same code) and the slow check-thirds (HSM Lens Sigma). The image quality and ISO employs Nikon D3000 image sensor of 10 megapixels. This sensor is a little lower "than the sensors in the D90 and D300. But even more suitable for large print. The image quality is very good up to ISO 800 in 1600 a lot of noise starts to creep in particular in the shadow zone. In 3200 (or the highest setting), the image is not only acceptable, printed very small on the network. If you noise or NR (no option for the medium-high to low) until the camera softer the sound, but the image is soft and lose a little closer. If your concern about the loss of detail, I suggest with NR off shooting and ensure that the image-editing software to cope with noise. As with other digital SLR cameras from Nikon D3000 limited auto ISO also . You can effectively control the ISO and shutter speed. Auto ISO works very well and accurate time. My favorite way to use it is to the camera at ISO Auto is set and then with the open mode and let the camera sets the rest for me. D3000 no third stop ISO, so you can simply turn the ISO 1600 or 100 regular, 200, 400, 800 and 3200 (HI). But to be honest, most digital SLR that is not too much input. continuous autofocus and broke the new 11 AF points are infinitely better than the old AF system with three points. It helps a lot, the composition and, fortunately, comes to the detection and monitoring of dynamic 3D is ideal for moving objects and sports. Autofocus is very fast and respond. However D3000 only 3 frames per second, then you can miss a few shots in quick or moving objects. Just like Nikon Guide is a guide for beginners. He did a good job to help the camera settings and the best possible configuration for a particular type of photography. For example, if you choose the Sport mode, you need to set high shutter speed to eliminate motion blur. Guide mode is actually a Super-Duper-menus that of the three options: photography, reading, and the camera settings. Shooting menu (above) in two, easy operation and advanced features divided. Easy is the use of automatic flash, distant subjects to the skin (for children), moving objects, landscape, portrait and night portrait. Advanced is to relent in the background on the proposed freeze (of people) and the freezing of the movement (vehicle). In contrast to normal, he will guide explains what kind of attitude is important for this particular type of photography, you get the understanding and knowledge of the basic concept of photography. But keep in mind that even though their menu is very useful guides replaced, but not the basic photography course or seminar. D3000 Photo Fix provides the basic salary, like a radar device, contact (camera automatically improve or optimize the image). Miniature effect is fun to play. Basically, you select an image, then the rest of the image is blurred, so that an illusion of depth of field. Other basic retouching are also available as crop and trim, filter effects, color balance, body weight, sepia, etc. The disadvantage is the processing of an image can be up to 10 seconds. Conclusion I congratulate Nikon D3000, why the design is very easy to use thanks to the instructions for use. With the help of in this way, beginners can learn basic photography faster. Several light imaging creativity and fun. I also like the section of the AF system 11 is normally reserved for high-end devices. D3000 competitors do not have that sophisticated AF. In addition, the Nikon D3000 two material weaknesses in the first place not AF motor for the elderly, but large glasses. D3000 is the Live View mode, which can really help a lot of goals center age. If you can D60 be useful to try the most advanced, such as the Nikon D90 or D300. However, if you have a Nikon D40 or compact cameras, this camera has an option to upgrade is very good. In short, the Nikon D3000 a solid camera for the beginner that is easy, fun and picture quality. There is certainly value for money.
