Nikon D3400 Body

The D3400 has an excellent autofocus system, brilliant battery life and superb image quality, but it’s also easy enough for complete beginners.

I had experience borrowing lots of Nikon DSLRs from my friends few years ago when the era of social digitalization boomed (when Facebook, Instagram and Twitter became mainstream) , namely the D700, D3000 series, D5000 series, D90, D7000 and D7100 but my first DSLR that I can afford is the D3400. This camera is enough for a hobbyist or for someone who isn't too deep into photography. I prefer 1/3 stops but this camera only has half-stops shutter capability, It doesn't support autofocus on ...

I got the Nikon D3400 as my first DSLR, due to the price point and the image quality. I wanted a versatile durable camera which would be fine being knocked about in a dry bag in my kayak and so far it has been perfect taking it on many paddling trips to Scotland etc. The compact nature and weight of the half crop camera makes it ideal for slotting in my backpack when hiking and I’m always impressed with the quality of the images I take. After having the camera a couple of years I have collected the following lenses in addition to the 18-55mm kit lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8G DX Lens Both have been great additions to the D3400 and would recommend to anyone who owns the camera.

Got this as my first proper DSLR camera. It’s really simple to use and takes decent photos! Lightweight and not too bulky it’s perfect for anyone starting out in digital photography but wants something to challenge themselves.

Great entry level camera, lightweight, and not a complicated button layout, good for a college student/someone wanting to get into cameras
