Nikon is famous into a light, compact body.
And with the D3000, advanced doesnt mean difficult. Its leading-edge technology resides

Oomb|n|ng a OOD sensor w|th N|kon`s famed EPEED |mage prooess|ng 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.
