Nikon D3000 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera

Product Description: Breathtaking digital SLR image quality and easy operation highlight the 10.2-megapixel D3000-Nikon's friendliest D-SLR ever. Compact and capable, the D3000 is compatible with a broad range of world-famous NIKKOR lenses and includes the versatile 3x, 18-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR with Silent-Wave Motor autofocusing and Nikon VR image stabilization to combat picture blur caused by camera shake for sharper handheld pictures. Special moments are captured faithfully at up to 3 frames-per-second and displayed on a bright, 3-inch LCD monitor. The D3000's split-second shutter response eliminates the annoyance of shutter lag. To further simplify picture-taking in special situations such as portraits, sports, landscapes, and more, the D3000 features icon-identified Scene Modes that deliver beautiful results automatically in otherwise complex situations. Additional Nikon technologies elevate picture quality and guard against picture-taking mistakes. Fast, accurate 11-point autofocus delivers razor sharpness. 3D Color Matrix Metering II and Nikon EXPEED image processing work with an exclusive Scene Recognition System for precise automatic exposures and rich, vivid color. Making the D3000 an even smarter choice are its exclusive Retouch functions for creative fun and the onboard Guide Mode that's ready to lend a reassuring hand to take the pictures you've always wanted.

Review: Looking over several cameras and choosing one for someone who has outgrown point and shoots, I came back to the Nikon D3000. By no means will this model blow away the seasoned photographer, however it does cover the basics and more. We picked it up and tried it out over the weekend.

First time DSLR users will enjoy the Guide Mode. It literally walked us through different shoot scenarios via the fixed 3" LCD screen. An excellent tool, its step by step instructions allowed my niece to move from the operating booklet in no time. After a few more runs, I am sure that she will feel quite comfortable shooting in the manual mode. The quick shutter release was a nice surprise.

Upon completing two days of shooting with the Nikon D3000, I walked away impressed. In manual mode, indoor shots were a balanced and perfect mix of shadow and color. As usual with shooting in low light, noise will make an appearance. However this system can be tweaked to deliver some outstanding indoor photographs. The bottom line is proper settings.

A basic fix is the VR (Vibration Reduction) feature located on the lens. This should be activated, especially indoors. A tripod will certainly help. In auto mode, just set the camera to night portrait and sit back and enjoy the rest of your flight.

Outdoor shots were vibrant, sharp and rich in color without editing. The onboard flash system was more than capable in meeting fill flash requirements. Without a doubt the overall performance of the camera, features and image quality is excellent.

With 10.2 megapixels to work with, I easily blew up a personal favorite my niece had taken to 16" x 20". Even though I don't see myself trading in my Nikon D300 for this model anytime soon, this camera is by far an upgrade over any of the souped up point and shoots out there.

What are the best settings for the Canon Rebel XS & Outdoor Portraits?

I own a canon rebel and am pretty use to handling an slr camera. I've been getting more serious with photography and would like to know, if I am taking pictures outdoors of a person (or even a few more) What would be the best settings/mode for my camera? Also, in other places such as indoors and where can I find a guide/tutorial that'll show me how to control my settings according the the setting I'm in?

p.s Another quick question I have, what would be a great portrait lens between $50-200 for the canon rebel?

thanks !
* I have read books and have done classes in photography involving ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed and Lighting. I know how to work with a camera indoors. All I am asking is if someone had a GOOD tutorial that goes over the recommended settings for my specific camera type, and what would be the best RECOMMENDED lens. Nothing ele.



Answer
Have you tried the library or bookshops.
They tend to stock books on basic photography which will go some way to teaching you how to actually use your camera in different circumstances.

There are NO "best" settings. It is all dependent on the conditions at the time you take the image and that is constantly changing.

If you are "getting more serious" then do yourself a big favour and actually learn properly about exposure and your specific camera.

Learning does not mean coming on here asking basic questions, it means sitting down with a book or a tutor and actually reading and digesting the information and then going out and practising.
