One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Essential even for non-professionals. Total satisfaction!

A great option for beginners (perhaps the best), very very inexpensive, given the excellent results it delivers and the features it has to offer. It provides everything and more for learning; Allows for great satisfaction in the results of the photos, even for those who are starting and as you grow, you can get everything from this machine, sticking with it for quite a long time. You will only start to miss some features after using it for a long period and fine-tuning your skills, yet still only for some specific applications. This even has a positive side that will make the beginner refine various fundamentals to make up for the absence of some more sophisticated features (which most of the time are only necessary to facilitate professional use, where high performance is required). One of the few that use Nikon's own sensor (other lines use Sony or Toshiba sensors), this pairing brings a plus to the original photo results. Light, small, and practical, great for any occasion, making it worry-free to use (a freedom you don't get with a various-thousand-dollar equipment). Beginners will not be afraid, the more you use it, the more you learn.

Probably Doesn't Meet My Requirements

The camera is very difficult to operate. However, I am used to Sony.
