What's in the box

  • Camera Body & Lens

  • 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. Freeze fast-action in its tracks. Create portraits with rich, natural skin tones and beautifully blurred backgrounds. The photos you share will amaze everyone—even yourself.

    Breathtaking image quality

    24.2MP sensor with no optical low-pass filter.

    Flawless low-light photos.

    Native ISO range from 100–25,600.

    The speed to freeze time.

    Expeed 4 image processing.

    Always connected.

    Nikon SnapBridge connectivity.

    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.

    SnapBridge makes sharing fun and easy

    One-time setup:

    Easily pairs with up to five smart devices; always connected.

    Automatic transfers:

    Photos automatically appear on your smart device.

    Easy sharing:

    Create and share albums on the go with a free Nikon Image Space account.

    Peace of mind:

    Backups are automatically stored in the cloud on Nikon Image Space.

    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.

    Still my most-frequently-used camera
    I purchased this in 2020 as an "entry-level" DSLR, but four years later, it's still the model I reach for most frequently. It's beginner-friendly but it's also an excellent camera in its own right, and the only other cameras I've purchased since are niche vintage models. My experience with this camera has not influenced me to seek out other DSLR makers or other Nikon models; it's a completely lovely daily-driver.The default lens that comes with it is incredibly versatile, and Nikon (in addition to several other manufacturers) makes many excellent lenses that are suitable for this model.I'm not a professional, and I primarily shoot food, portraits, and landscapes. In case it's useful, my most-often-used lenses for this camera are:- Nikon 85mm f/3.5G AF-S DX Micro ED (VR-II)- NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-P DX VR- Nikon AF S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Fixed lens with AF

    Color: BlackStyle: w/18-55mm +70-300mmSet: BaseVerified Purchase
    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.

    Color: BlackStyle: w/18-55mm +70-300mmSet: BaseVerified Purchase
    Bought the D3400 with 18-55mm and 70-300mm lenses, along with the free "Starter Bundle" including a sling backpack and 16 GB memory card as a Cyber Monday deal for $500. At that price point, I'm exceptionally happy with this camera. The body is comfortable to hold, as well as the strap. Battery life has been good so far, although I haven't tested that fully. The picture quality on automatic settings is very good. This is my first DSLR, and the controls took a little getting used to, but they're pretty intuitive. The lenses are nice. I do wish the 70-300mm lens had image stabilization, but I've been able to take some nice pictures without the stabilization.

    A lot of reviews have been pretty critical of the SnapBridge functionality. It's not the greatest, but I've found that the automatic transfer of 2 MB previews happens reliably. Sometimes it doesn't pair with my phone right away, but it will do the whole pairing/transferring in the background - may just need to wait a minute. Being able to post a photo you take to FB or Instagram right away is a nice perk.

    The free sling backpack in the starter bundle is great to have. I've just been keeping all the camera hardware and charger in there - no need to store them separately. The compartments are reconfigurable, and the padding is pretty sturdy. It won't survive being run over by a steamroller, of course, but I don't have any concerns about breakage if the pack drops on the ground from shoulder height.

    Bottom line: for the $500 price point for the 2-lens deal, I'm extremely happy with this camera. At the non-cyber monday price point (currently $600), it's still a good deal - if you're not interested in the 70-300mm lens, you could forgo that to save some money.

    The camera was as advertised and it shipped quickly. What I like about this camera is the color that I couldn’t find anywhere here in Canada, and the zoom lens is great with great focus.
    The only thing that I would recommend is to include a memory card with each camera because it’s such a bummer when you’re excited to try your new camera but you can’t take photos because there’s no memory.

    Yo no sabia nada de cámaras (sigo sin saber mucho), muchos me recomendaban comprar cualquier cámara o usar el mismo celular, pero para fotos de mis viajes me gusta que la foto se vea espectacular, decidí optar por esta cámara. De momento no me ha decepcionado, las fotos son geniales, la calidad de el vídeo y audio es buena almenos para un usuario promedio lo es, la cámara trae para ponerte mas exigente en cuanto iso, saturacion etc. Pero yo personalmente sin leer el manual la prendí y en su modo guía empece a tomar fotos muy buenas y vídeo, lo cual para mi queda perfecto.

    Pro:
    -La calidad en materiales y su estética es buena, te hace sentir profesional.
    -Las fotos y vídeo, salen excelente parece que eres un profesional, los colores y las fotos son vibrantes
    -Tiene protector para su lente y una correa para ponértela en el cuello
    -La batería dura mucho podrás traerla en tu evento o fiesta y durara todo el tiempo sin problemas, la he tenido sin cargar casi una semana,uso moderado.
    -Tiene modo novato y modo profesional en sus opciones
    -Tiene conexión a la app snapbridge la cual permite enviar las fotos que tomas en ese instante a tu celular, sin cables, sin nada, automáticamente lo hará.

    Contra:
    -No es una cámara ligera, dada sus virtudes es una cámara algo semi-profesional, por tanto es pesada en cierto punto.
    -Es grande, si no te importa la calidad de la foto o te gusta ser discreto, esta no es tu cámara, esta cámara es para tomarte una sesion de fotos , irte de vacaciones como turista y tomar fotos espectaculares, pero traerla en un evento social con tus amigos podría ser estorboso.
    -Snapbridge, solo funciona enviado FOTOGRAFICAS el VIDEO no se puede pasar, gran falla!! Tienes que conectar la microsd ala PC, es un punto de mejora.
    -Puede ser tedioso en ocasiones vincular la cámara con la app

    Conclusión:

    Es una excelente cámara semi-profesional, tiene buena calidad para un usuario buscando unas buenas fotos para sus viajes o eventos formales (bodas,eventos familiares,graduaciones) esta es tu cámara, sin mas ni menos. Si eres un usuario buscando ser profesional, esta solo seria el inicio. si eres un usuario de fiestas sociales con amigos, parrilladas , antros y asi , mejor una cámara digital o tu mismo celular.

    GRAN CAMARA!!
