Nikon’s newest entry-level DSLR is the D3400. It was introduced in August 2016 and follows the best-selling D3300 by two and a half years. Like that model, it is intended for beginners or people wishing to upgrade the quality and control of a point-and-shoot camera without going beyond budget.
The Nikkor AF-P 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G VR kit zoom, which has been improved over the preceding G VR II to allow faster and quieter continuous AF for movies, is often marketed in a package with the D3400 body. The kit lens, like many mirrorless kit lenses, has a collapsing construction that enables it to fold to a smaller length when not in use.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adThe D3400’s internal components include the same 24 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor as previously, which lacks a low-pass filter for possibly clearer results and is also capable of recording 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second. Regrettably, the mic input of the previous D3300 is no longer available. The D3300’s viewfinder specifications, 11-point AF system, and 5 frames per second continuous shooting are all carried over. Nikon’s Snap Bridge technology, which uses Bluetooth to maintain a low-power wireless link with smartphones, is the key new feature. This enables the camera to instantly prepare photographs for sharing by automatically tagging them with the phone’s GPS location and/or copying them onto your phone without your assistance, if requested.ipiscing elit.

I compared the D3400 in my review to Canon’s entry-level DSLR, the EOS 1300T/Rebel T6. It’s likely that you’ll spend your money on one or the other if you’re looking for a budget DSLR. As an alternative, I’ll also compare the similarly priced Sony A5100 and Panasonic Lumix G7 in case you decide a mirrorless compact system camera is the better option.

This enables the camera to instantly prepare photographs for sharing by automatically tagging them with the phone’s GPS location and/or copying them onto your phone without your assistance, if requested. However, unlike the more expensive D500, the D3400 lacks WiFi, so there is no way to wirelessly download movies or manage the camera. A significant benefit of a standard DSLR versus a mirrorless camera is the optical viewfinder, which Nikon claims extends battery life up to 1200 shots per charge.
