Nikon D3400 Review

Moreover, the Nikon D3400 has all the other specifications you would expect from an entry-level camera – it has an impressive resolution, HD video capabilities, a decent autofocus system, and 5 fps burst shooting mode.  

In this review, we will look at the Nikon D3400 specs more closely, and point out its advantages and disadvantages.

Editor’s Tip: When you’re just starting out in photography, it’s better to buy a capable camera and an improved lens rather than a higher-end camera and an entry-level lens. The lens you use will have a greater impact on the quality of your photos, so putting as much of your budget towards better glass will pay dividends. If you buy a used Nikon D3400, for example, you can use the money you save to invest in a 50mm f/1.8G lens, which offers improved performance over a Nikon kit lens.

Nikon D3400  Specs 

Regarding the Nikon D3400 price, it costs around $417.00 brand-new (including an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens), which is a very affordable price. For this amount of money, you will get everything that is needed for your first steps into the photography world.

Alternatively, you can save some cash and buy a pre-owned Nikon D3400 for barely more than $200.00 (body only). In fact, if you read my MPB review, you can learn all the benefits of buying used gear from one of the top used camera gear retailers out there.
