Features
As you can see, all three models have very similar
features. Although three of the four have better
resolution, the D3000 has some improved features,
usually found on more expensive cameras.
The key improvement is the LCD screen has been in-
creased from 2.5” to 3.0”. In addition there are more
shooting modes available. Check out some of the
standard features in the D3000 which are also avail-
able in Nikon’s higher end cameras:

camera, eliminating dust buildup.
lEye Sensor:
When you look
through the
viewnder,
the eye sen-
sor automati-
cally turns o
the 3.0” LCD
screen, saving
the battery
for you. When
you remove
your eye from
the viewnder,
the LCD screen
automatically
turns on.

Exposure
Modes: Set the dial to Portrait, Landscape,
Child, Sports, Close-up or Night Portrait.
