Nikon D3000 10.2 Megapixel Digital Camera SLR Body and Lens Kit 2

The Nikon D3000 realizes your dream of owning a DSLR. It's an inviting transition you're sure to love.
In-camera guidance is provided by new Guide mode, which employs an easy-to-use Interface that makes it easy for first-time users to select shooting modes. Additionally, after selecting an item in Guide mode, camera settings can be further adjusted in order to obtain optimal results. At 10.2 effective megapixels, the D3000 produces high-resolution images that enable beautiful enlargements without loss of sharpness. Normal ISO sensitivity is ISO 100 to 1600. For added shooting versatility, a Hi 1 setting increases sensitivity to ISO 3200. The D3000 is equipped with Nikon's EXPEED image Processing system. EXPEED realizes excellent resolution, long tonal scale, and superb Color while also making possible fast processing of the D3000's advanced imaging functions such as Scene Recognition and Active D-Lighting. Scene Recognition improves accuracy for exposure, White balance, and Autofocus by analyzing color and illumination over the entire scene milliseconds prior to shooting. It then adjusts the D3000 accordingly for optimal picture quality. The D3000 incorporates Nikon's Active D-Lighting function to vastly improve details in the shadows and highlights of high-contrast scenes. Like the Scene Recognition System, Active D-Lighting utilizes the 420-pixel RGB sensor to analyze a scene then adjust exposure.
