I have a D7000. Bought the D3400 for my daughters first camera. Nice and light. The upgrade over my camera is that we can upload to her iphone easily. I have always found Nikons to work well.

I purchased this in 2020 as an "entry-level" DSLR, but four years later, it's still the model I reach for most frequently. It's beginner-friendly but it's also an excellent camera in its own right, and the only other cameras I've purchased since are niche vintage models. My experience with this camera has not influenced me to seek out other DSLR makers or other Nikon models; it's a completely lovely daily-driver.The default lens that comes with it is incredibly versatile, and Nikon (in addition to several other manufacturers) makes many excellent lenses that are suitable for this model.I'm not a professional, and I primarily shoot food, portraits, and landscapes. In case it's useful, my most-often-used lenses for this camera are:- Nikon 85mm f/3.5G AF-S DX Micro ED (VR-II)- NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-P DX VR- Nikon AF S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Fixed lens with AF

Okay ....this is an entry level DSLR that might not have the highest tech available on the market today but it does a TREMENDOUS job at what it was designed for.Yes.. it has only 11 Auto focus points and doesn't offer things like multiple exposure shooting (for HDR photos) and/or support XQD card formats but this light DX camera is very much capable of taking incredible photos and delivers great image quality, and sharpness.If you're new to photography and are looking for something that will not break your budget don't look any further this camera is everything you need to get better.It doesn't have an overwhelming amount of config options so it gives you a chance to learn the basics without feeling intimidated.I've been shooting portraits with this baby for quite a while now and I'm fairly certain there is no sub-1200 camera there that can compete. Having said that i believe this camera is more for still images than film making. For the latter I'd probably go with Canon as their continuous autofocus is superior to Nikon's.Tip for absolute beginners: Unless you simply want to take snapshots without much composition and lighting don't be discouraged if the photos you took don't have the sort of quality and "pop" as those in magazines or online.. There is usually quite a bit of post processing to be done before that photo becomes truly remarkable.Your 18-55mm kit lens should be just fine for the first few months until you get a hang of your camera and photography basics. After that you can experiment with different focal lengths and lenses. There are quite a few nikkor lenses specifically designed for DX format cameras ( like the 35mm f1.8 ) and a few full frame lenses ( like the 85mm f1.8 ) below 500 bucks that will deliver amazing results.Have fun and remember you can't learn this great art by sitting at home and reading amazon reviews or watching YT videos... grab this fine piece of gear and go play with it. Practice makes perfect... keep on shooting!

Yo no sabia nada de cámaras (sigo sin saber mucho), muchos me recomendaban comprar cualquier cámara o usar el mismo celular, pero para fotos de mis viajes me gusta que la foto se vea espectacular, decidí optar por esta cámara. De momento no me ha decepcionado, las fotos son geniales, la calidad de el vídeo y audio es buena almenos para un usuario promedio lo es, la cámara trae para ponerte mas exigente en cuanto iso, saturacion etc. Pero yo personalmente sin leer el manual la prendí y en su modo guía empece a tomar fotos muy buenas y vídeo, lo cual para mi queda perfecto.Pro:-La calidad en materiales y su estética es buena, te hace sentir profesional.-Las fotos y vídeo, salen excelente parece que eres un profesional, los colores y las fotos son vibrantes-Tiene protector para su lente y una correa para ponértela en el cuello-La batería dura mucho podrás traerla en tu evento o fiesta y durara todo el tiempo sin problemas, la he tenido sin cargar casi una semana,uso moderado.-Tiene modo novato y modo profesional en sus opciones-Tiene conexión a la app snapbridge la cual permite enviar las fotos que tomas en ese instante a tu celular, sin cables, sin nada, automáticamente lo hará.Contra:-No es una cámara ligera, dada sus virtudes es una cámara algo semi-profesional, por tanto es pesada en cierto punto.-Es grande, si no te importa la calidad de la foto o te gusta ser discreto, esta no es tu cámara, esta cámara es para tomarte una sesion de fotos , irte de vacaciones como turista y tomar fotos espectaculares, pero traerla en un evento social con tus amigos podría ser estorboso.-Snapbridge, solo funciona enviado FOTOGRAFICAS el VIDEO no se puede pasar, gran falla!! Tienes que conectar la microsd ala PC, es un punto de mejora.-Puede ser tedioso en ocasiones vincular la cámara con la appConclusión:Es una excelente cámara semi-profesional, tiene buena calidad para un usuario buscando unas buenas fotos para sus viajes o eventos formales (bodas,eventos familiares,graduaciones) esta es tu cámara, sin mas ni menos. Si eres un usuario buscando ser profesional, esta solo seria el inicio. si eres un usuario de fiestas sociales con amigos, parrilladas , antros y asi , mejor una cámara digital o tu mismo celular.GRAN CAMARA!!

A perfect entry level DSLR from Nikon!Features:APS-C CMOS sensor, 24.2MP3.0-inch screen, 921,000 dots1080p video capture lack of an optical low-pass filter, which inreturn help it to capture better detailBuild and handling:Polycarbonate constructionWeighs 445gWont feel any pain in hands even after hours of usage!Autofocus:11-point AF, 1 cross-type AF pointAF-assist illuminator3D-tracking AFPerformance:5fps burst shootingSnapBridge connectivity1200 shot battery lifeImage quality:ISO100-25600No low-pass filterPicture Control image effectsVerdict:The Nikon D3400 is a fine performer and more than enough camera for most people just getting started with DSLR photography. Its body is small and light and its specs, while very similar to its predecessor's, are perfectly decent for a model of its class. Image and video quality is more than satisfactory too, and with the further benefit of in-camera raw processing, you can also polish up your creations quickly and easily for immediate use if you wish.As a Nikon DSLR, its compatibility with decades worth of top-quality Nikkor glass is another major advantage. Furthermore, the benefit of its optical low-pass-filter-free sensor means that you can get the best out of these optics.Perhaps most importantly for a entry-level DSLR, the built-in Guide mode and straightforward controls make the D3400 incredibly easy to use..Overall Nikon packs a lot of very desirable features into the D3400 for the price.Stop spending hours searching for reviews! this is the one for you! Go for it!After a lot of researches on google n youtube i finally bought this dslr! Got everything as mentioned with the camera including the 16gb class 10 toshiba memory card and a bag! Package was good n the dslr was safely packed by the seller as well as Nikon! Thanks amazon, the d3400 was safely received! That is what everyone cares... 😍 As you guys trust, i also trust Amazon more than other websites! Amazon never fails to amaze us!There are many sellers available with this product.. so make sure to opt for a seller with reasonably good reviews! There are some negative reviews here.. but keep in mind that those people may have chosen a bad seller and that is the reason why they had a bad experience...I will recommemnd you to buy from amazon even if you get huge offer from other sites! if anything goes wrong, dont worry! the return policy provided by amazon is hassle free and they care for their customers more than any other websites! The product will be replaced without any further lags by amazon if you dont find it genuine and in a good condition..so no more further thinking..just buy it man from Amazon! 🤘

This is my brief review of the Nikon D3400, a bit of background, so I am photographer at a theme park I also do events on occasion and they supply us with mostly D3000 series cameras so I have 7 months of experience with D3100 D3200 D3300 and now the D3400 and all of them have proven to be durable and reliable with fantastic image quality. Now to go a bit more in depth with the D3400, so immediately I noticed how much quieter and faster the AF system was but it also had one issue right out of the box that scared me at first when I swapped lenses from the kit lens to a 35mm f1.8 lens I have the AF stopped working all of a sudden, I turned off the camera prior to swapping and I carefully removed the lens cap along with the inner cap for the 35mm and the AF worked fine but when I put the kit back on the AF was frozen like I could see it selecting the focus points but nothing happened, so I thought nothing at first and I switched it on and off and nothing happened so I removed the lens and put it back on and nothing happened and on the third attempt to remove the lens and put it back on it finally worked and hasn't occurred again, so its not a big issue as it resolved it self but at the same time it may happen again. Image quality is amazing very very good even with the kit lens but low light is a little rough its a tad noisier then id like it was very similar in low light to a camera with a 1 inch sensor so i was quite surprised with the low light having the noise it did with it being a APS-C and a 1 inch sensor camera doing better. So going from a D3300 (Which we normally shoot with) to the D3400 you don't see that massive of a upgrade actually its barely an upgrade I would personally just get the D3300 with the kit lens of the D3400 and you would be golden, however as a personal camera the snapbridge is amazing I used to hate the wifi from most cameras it was slow I had to fiddle through menus to get into it and it would never work but this is something else I simply turn the camera on take the shot turn it off and boom its already in my phones photo gallery automatically and since it saves a 2MP to your phone its not massive and wont take up much space but you can turn this setting off if you'd like but I can't live without it now. Its super simple to use for someone just getting into photography and it works great for me as a backup cam for when I dont have my 5Dsr with me its also easier for travel being a tad smaller and having unbelievable image quality. It feels very solid in the hand the material its made of feels great and durable I would not think its weather sealed or shock proof but its not crappy and doesn't feel cheap. So all in all its one great little camera I give it a 7 out of 10 kudos Nikon for making this little beauty. Now if you have a D3300 I would not suggest you upgrade to this you wont notice anything new other then the snap bridge and lack of a mic jack and slightly better battery I would consider your next upgrade to go up and beyond a D7200 because its the same sensor and processor the image quality will be the same.
