Artistry like blurring backgrounds or freezing fast-moving action is easily accomplished with the D3000.
The D3000 packs all the innovation and advanced engineering for which Nikon is famous into a light, compact body. And with the D3000, advanced doesn't mean difficult. Its leading-edge technology resides behind a user-friendly interface that makes it extraordinarily simple to take the kinds of photos you've always wanted to take.
