    From the manufacturer

    Welcome to photography.

    Before the D3400, you chose your smartphone camera for convenience. Zooming was clumsy. Shooting in low light was nearly impossible. Capturing fast action was a game of luck. But after the D3400, you'll see that you were compromising image quality. That some of the greatest photos happen when the light is low. That fast action can be frozen in perfect clarity. And that a camera and a smartphone can work together in harmony to make the photos you share absolutely amazing.

    Stunning simplicity

    Photos and videos captured with the D3400 and a superb NIKKOR lens are as vibrant and lifelike as the moments they preserve. Shoot in extremely low light without a problem.

    Nikon SnapBridge

    SnapBridge has changed the way cameras and smartphones work together—and only Nikon has it. Take a picture with the D3400 and it's automatically transferred to your compatible smartphone or tablet, ready to share. SnapBridge works seamlessly with Nikon Image Space, a cloud storage and sharing site, to back-up your photos and to help you create and share albums with your friends and family. The future of photo sharing is here.

    A camera designed for you

    Compact and lightweight, the D3400 is designed to go everywhere you go. Even first-time DLSR owners will quickly feel at home—the camera's controls are smartly laid out for comfort and intuitive control. The bright optical viewfinder provides a sharp, glare-free view of the world, and the comfortable grip enables precise handling.

    The gateway to better photography

    The D3400 makes photography easy and fun, freeing you to focus on your natural talents—framing great shots, anticipating special moments and finding unique perspectives in everyday scenes. As your abilities grow (and they will grow) you can take complete creative control of the D3400.

    Capture the sights and sounds

    At the touch of a button, the D3400 records dazzling 1080/60p Full HD video. Nikon's new AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens uses a stepping motor for smooth and quiet autofocusing, so only the sounds of the moment are recorded with D3400's internal mic. Create time-lapse videos, ultra-smooth slow motion sequences and more.

    Catch every moment

    Press and hold the D3400's shutter button and capture 5 FPS continuously with full autofocus performance. Transform a moment of fast action into a thrilling photo sequence, then share it through SnapBridge for all to see.

    Focus on the details

    Nikon cameras have some of the finest autofocus systems available. The D3400's AF system quickly acquires your subject and provides precise focus, even during high-speed shooting and low-light situations.

    Excellent camera choice - Love it!
    We are loving this camera. This is a long overdue upgrade from a 10-year-old Panasonic Lumix (that is a great camera and still working, btw; just technology got better) for a teen who has been shooting for about 3 years now. We got the two lens and camera bag bundle. Shockingly, it actually shipped with a hardcopy manual (I personally can't stand it when you have to download a manual to your computer just to get started. I know I know...trees. Whatever. It's nice to have a hard copy when you're trying to get everything set up. I plant a tree tomorrow.)To that end...the lithium battery fully charges in a couple of hours and held its charge all day through hours of shooting. Still, it's always nice to have a second one, so we have that on order.This is bare bones...not a problem when you just pop it out of the package. Nevertheless, I have the usual items on order: UV protective filters (1 for each lens), lens hoods, an extra SD card (note, it doesn't come with one but we already one from the other camera; we're upgrading to a 64 mb pro since this camera shoots video.), a second battery, a remote.Others may want to consider a USB cable to connect to a computer just in case you want to use ViewNx-i to download your pics (nope, that wasn't included but it's not really necessary if your computer has an SD card slot). It does support SmartBridge and it took us a bit of finagling to get it to work...because the fine print says you have to be higher than iOS 11.2.5 for it to work. As it turns out, they weren't lying. XD Get current on your iOS kids.The camera shipped mostly up to date. There have been a number of firmware updates for this model and ours is only 1 firmware update behind on the F component. But really, it's an unpack it and shoot. The attached pictures were day two of the camera, no filters, no editing, just straight shots by the teen.

    I have had a Nikon D40 for 15 years and loved it, but it was starting to have issues. So when my son's high school band asked me to be the lead photographer this year, it was reason to upgrade. This one weighs much much less than the older ones and takes fantastic pictures. Simple to use for a novice, plenty of advanced features for those who know what they are doing. The extra sense is great for those long distance shots or very tight close ups.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent camera choice - Love it!

    We are loving this camera. This is a long overdue upgrade from a 10-year-old Panasonic Lumix (that is a great camera and still working, btw; just technology got better) for a teen who has been shooting for about 3 years now. We got the two lens and camera bag bundle. Shockingly, it actually shipped with a hardcopy manual (I personally can't stand it when you have to download a manual to your computer just to get started. I know I know...trees. Whatever. It's nice to have a hard copy when you're trying to get everything set up. I plant a tree tomorrow.)

    To that end...the lithium battery fully charges in a couple of hours and held its charge all day through hours of shooting. Still, it's always nice to have a second one, so we have that on order.

    This is bare bones...not a problem when you just pop it out of the package. Nevertheless, I have the usual items on order: UV protective filters (1 for each lens), lens hoods, an extra SD card (note, it doesn't come with one but we already one from the other camera; we're upgrading to a 64 mb pro since this camera shoots video.), a second battery, a remote.

    Others may want to consider a USB cable to connect to a computer just in case you want to use ViewNx-i to download your pics (nope, that wasn't included but it's not really necessary if your computer has an SD card slot). It does support SmartBridge and it took us a bit of finagling to get it to work...because the fine print says you have to be higher than iOS 11.2.5 for it to work. As it turns out, they weren't lying. XD Get current on your iOS kids.

    The camera shipped mostly up to date. There have been a number of firmware updates for this model and ours is only 1 firmware update behind on the F component. But really, it's an unpack it and shoot. The attached pictures were day two of the camera, no filters, no editing, just straight shots by the teen.

    After a bunch of research, I landed on this camera as my first DSLR purchase. For price point, ease of use, and including two lenses.

    I have owned point-and-shoot standalone cameras over the years, but their auto-focus and stabilization was pretty terrible. This camera is just on a whole different level. You can snap off several shots a second continuously, and the pictures are almost always crisp, clean, and beautiful. Shooting at 24 MP results in images that are 6000x4000 pixels in size, so when you pull them onto your computer you can just zoom and zoom and zoom in, to a point where is is frankly creepy. Take a portrait photo? You can see every single pore on their face in the computer. I'm sure people who are big into photography have rolled their eyes and moved on at this point, but it really just blows my mind how good the pictures turn out with essentially no prior knowledge, skills, or lighting experience. Just plug in a battery and an SD card, put a lens on, set it to auto mode, and go to town.

    So far have taken some nature photos, a bunch of sunset/sunrise photos, some photos of the ocean, and a bunch of fireworks on the 4th. I wouldn't say that anything I've shot is 'publication quality', but it is plenty good enough to send to friends and family. The fireworks even turned out way better than expected with no fancy lenses or even a tripod.

    Also, the battery life on this camera is just unreal. I've had it for several months, and have taken roughly 2000 photos at various times and locations, and I finally, just now, need to charge the battery for the first time. If you are used to having to charge your phone every night, it's a really nice change of pace to only have to charge your camera once in a blue moon.

    I am an amateur, but I can happily say that I am blown away with the quality of photos this camera can take at this price point. Would recommend to anyone else looking to dip their toes into the expensive world of photography.

    I've been wanting to move up from a point and shoot digital camera for quite a while. My Sony DSC-H3 (8.1MP) is limited in what I want to do; although it's been a good camera and I'll continue to use it some, having the higher resolution and greater versatility of the DSLR opens up my creative streak. So far, it's been a steep learning curve for me, but it gets easier very rapidly to utilize the features the D3400 has. The lenses are a bit basic, but do a very nice job even though their max aperture isn't as large as the much-higher priced premium lenses. I have not found the lack of image stabilization on the 70-300 lens to be an issue, even hand-holding at 1/70 sec shutter speeds. All the buttons and controls fall naturally to fingertips when holding the camera, allowing quick adjustments with a minimum of fumbling. I can't imagine what one of the upper-line Nikons is like to use, as well as this one performs. This is an outstanding entry-level DSLR and has quite a bit of room to grow with, simply by using premium lenses. Youtube has numerous videos devoted specifically to the D3400, by quite a few professional photographers, so you can get a varied education in its use. My last SLR camera was a Minolta XD-11 film camera from the '80's, and I am amazed at the versatility of the new DSLR's compared to it. Being able to bang away, making lots of pictures without worrying about film cost, is also a big plus. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to move into photography as a hobby, or even to start professionally. Below are a couple of photos from a recent beach trip.

    Great purchase! Been looking for a new DSLR with the ability to control the shot. I like the value of the bag and additional lens for the price.
    Packaging was a little bit damaged, although all my anger was turned into happiness by seeing a tremendous gift from Amazon inside the package. Thanks Amazon for a free LowePro camera bag. I'm really in love with the purchase I made. Please read the detailed review below.

    - Quality
    Being an entry-level camera with a modest price tag, this DSLR’s body is made entirely of composite plastic, but that is not a bad thing, the plastic feels good to touch and adds to the camera’s decent build quality. It also helps keep the camera extremely light, weighing mere 395 grams, one can easily carry out long photoshoots with the D3400 without feeling any fatigue. Its screen, controls and everything else is designed to be as simple to use as possible, which is another reason why the D3400 is an excellent choice for a beginner photographer.
    Switching between different modes with its dial is simple and fast, the 3” display of the camera provides you with all the information that you need about your camera’s settings and makes interacting with the device fairly easy, but it does not have the best brightness levels, making it hard to use the camera in well-lit areas.

    - Auto Focus Performance
    The camera’s performance is pretty much the same as the D3300, its 11 point autofocus works relatively fast as long as you do not switch to live view, it is also pretty easy to understand, and you can quickly select between the four different AF modes provided. One major problem with the AF is that, when using the viewfinder, one can have a hard time spotting the AF “dots” that are meant to act as guides for the user.

    - Image Capturing Capability
    The best way to describe the D3400’s image quality would be; punchy images that manage to please the eyes. The D3400’s image capturing is perfect for beginners since it manages to produce pretty great quality without the user having to do too much, the camera also captures great raw images, which makes it an excellent choice for people who plan on further editing their pictures after capturing them.

    - Bluetooth And SnapBridge
    Perhaps one of the most welcome changes made to the D3400 is the addition of Bluetooth LE, making it possible to connect the camera with Nikon’s SnapBridge app and make image transfer and browsing a whole lot easier. The SnapBridge app lets you browse through all the pictures that are on your camera’s memory, it also allows one to either have photos transferred to their phone as they are taken (remote photography) or opt to download selected pictures onto their phone.

    - Video Recording
    Since the new lens kit has a better motor installed in it, its zooming in and zooming out have become much less jittery and produce lesser noise, further adding to the smoothness of the camera’s recording and also reducing background noise that can be quite noticeable in the D3300. Its image processor and 24mp sensor enable the camera to capture well-saturated colors in JPEG files.

    - Conclusion
    Overall, the D3400 is a pretty decent camera when one considers what it has to offer at its price level, the camera manages to capture great quality JPEG and raw images, has a decent sensor and image processor that not only provides excellent rendering capability but also makes capturing well-balanced images easy for beginners and amateurs. One can say that the D3400 is one of the best choices out there for a well-priced, beginner DSLR.

    To sum it all up, the D3400 is, when compared to other entry-level cameras, a great device that leaves a bit to be desired, its image capturing is bound to be more than satisfactory for people who have been relying on their smartphone cameras. While its video recording is not entirely dependable, it does manage to get the job done by capturing fluid footage at 1080p.

    The camera’s build quality and design meet expectations, and its lightweight body makes it a joy to use, and its SnapBridge compatibility acts as icing on top of a great value cake, making file transfer management a lot simpler. The bottom line is that if you want to capture decent photos and do not really plan to grow as a photographer, then the Nikon D3400 is a pretty good choice.

    Easy to use with enough power for beginners as they develop into professionals.
    I have created and sold canvas prints with this camera so it’s not just for the casual photographer.
