Nikon D3400
The Nikon D3400 is the company's entry-level model, which is designed to get those who are new to DSLR photography on the bandwagon – and in theory, to potentially make them customers for life.

Nikon D3400 review
The D3400 is one of Nikon's most popular entry-level DSLRs , one that sticks to a no-frills template. While it maintains compatibility with lots of great Nikon lenses and offers full control over things like exposure and focus, the idea is that it's...
Excellent battery life Compact, light and easy to use Good single-shot AF performance Tiny, quiet kit lens
Lacks touchscreen No microphone port LCD is fixed in place Poor connectivity options
The Nikon D3400 is one of the best entry-level DSLRs you can buy right now. It's not perfect, but what it does do, it does very well. Featuring a beautifully compact body, a solid AF system, huge battery life and very good image quality, the D3400 is...

The Nikon D3400 is a bit better cheap dSLR than before
With decent low-light photos and a smoother-to-focus for movies kit lens, the D3400 remains a first-dSLR favorite.
The Nikon D3400 delivers the image quality and speed that a first-time dSLR buyer should expect.
A lot of the small annoyances from previous models remain, including tiny autofocus points in the viewfinder and a nonpersistent self-timer mode. Plus, its Bluetooth-only wireless solution isn't very good.
Very good photo quality for its class plus performance fast enough to capture kids and pets make the Nikon D3400 A solid choice for a first dSLR.

Nikon D3400 review
The Nikon D3400 is a new entry-level camera with a 24Mp sensor in a compact DSLR body. It's a refresh to the D3300 model with built-in Bluetooth and improved battery life. Nikon touts outstanding low-light photos with the D3400, but does it deliver, or...

Nikon D3400 DSLR Review
We review the new Nikon D3400, the entry level DSLR from Nikon, with built-in Bluetooth for instant image transfer.
Designed to be an entry-level, easy to use DSLR the D3400 features built-in Bluetooth (but not Wi-Fi) and unfortunately, there are limitations including the inability to shoot remotely, and the camera has less connectivity than the D3300.

Nikon D3400 Review
We've been testing the recently updated D3400. Though the updates are modest, the real question is can the camera still hold its weight against the competition?
