Product Information

Scattered through every thread on this site are these names which just appear for one or two posts, make up some story about how they bought a Nikon/Canon/Pentax something and it killed their dog and burnt the house down.

It’s collapsible so it doesn’t take up as much space as a normal telephoto lens, but it still gives you a great zoom.Video Quality: I use my Nikon D3300 to shoot most of my YouTube videos and other footage that I create for clients and I am SO happy with it. In my own tests, ISO 400 images will instead be shot at 3200 and so on --- even when the camera is NOT in a default auto ISO setting. SMALL BASIC JPG files (2,992 x 2,000 pixels), the way I shoot my D3300, have a median file size of 700 kB, and can be printed at any size. Sure, the basic control layout is almost unchanged, but the D3300 sports a brand-new body incorporating carbon fiber, which is at once just slightly smaller, and designed to offer better ergonomics. It’s easy to recharge and takes less than two hours (I have two, so there’s never an issue with a dead camera).

Introduced earlier on the D5300, the D3300 shares a similar carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic monocoque construction, which results in a very lightweight, yet sturdy, solid-feeling camera. Capturing all the beauty and atmosphere of important moments, the D3300 from Nikon delivers vibrant, lifelike photos and movies, day or night, with incredible ease. If you zoom-in with the YRGB histogram screen active, the histogram shows the values only for the area to which you've zoomed. The finder certainly isn't as huge as an FX camera or as big as the D7000 because the D3300 uses a hollow, lightweight pentamirror instead of a solid glass pentaprism, which is exactly how I'd want a lightweight camera to work.We're as guilty as anyone of getting excited about shiny new gear and features, but let's not lose sight of the gear we already have by our side. The comparison paints a picture of a nicely specified entry-level model with excellent battery life, a new processor and a whole lot of resolution. They aren’t inconspicuous and they need to be cared for with a good sturdy camera bag while you travel.

That said, the contoured, ergonomic handgrip is still comfortable, and controls are easily accessible.Attempts to set a manual white balance indoors produced severe magenta or blue casts whereas I had no issues setting manual white balance with my old DSLR. Its matte field won't properly show the restricted depth-of-field with lenses faster than f/4, but that's OK because this is how Nikon got the finder so bright. Image area Pixels is the DX Format which can be adjusted to (Large) 6,016 4,000 (Medium) 4,512 3,000 (Small) 3,008 ? No worries, most people don't even know what these adjustments do, which is why the D3300 does away with the extra buttons to save us all money — and all the features are still there in the menu system.
