I love my Nikon D3300 camera I take it on vacation to capture my beautiful pictures. I have three lens 18-55, 55-200, and 70-300. I have used Nikon cameras. I had 3 different Nikon cameras this one was the best I have every had.

This model is excellent. The plus is that you can connect an external microphone for superior audio. I’ve been reading the Nikon D3300 for dummies and been learning features of the camera I did not know existed! This model is powerful than what people know. I have two of these cameras. I have no plans to upgrade from the D3300 at least for now.

I've only had this for a month so I'm by no means an expert with it but I'm loving the quality of pictures I've been able to take so far. I can't wait to learn more about this awesome camera!

Pictures look great and is easy to use. Mode selector dial has all of the auto modes, PSAM, and a Guide mode. Guide mode pulls up a fast-start-type manual but on your camera screen. This really helps you learn the camera quickly without having to go to the paper or pdf manual. I bought the two-lens kit, bag, wifi adapter for a really great price.

I own two D3300 cameras and find them to be user-friendly. I keep a 35mm lens on one camera and use zoom lenses on the other. Lots of nice photos have been taken with the cameras.

I work at a metal manufacturing plant and we bought this camera for product pictures, marketing, sales, etc. and it is awesome to use for all of it. The photos look great, it's easy to use and easy to carry around the shop floor. It's been taken out to get photo and video of people too and I'm still very happy with it. It was exactly what we were looking for and I would give it high recommendation to anyone looking for a camera. We were using a Rebel before and apples to apples, I prefer the Nikon.

I went around and around trying to choose between this and the D3400. Ultimately I chose the older D3300 because of the mic input port. I love using my DSLR for short video recordings. The pictures it take are awesome. I have no regrets and would buy it again in a heartbeat! :)

My first DSLR was a a350 Sony then I got a Pentax kr from a pawn shop died six months later and then I got the d3300 even though it was a refurbished kit from my local micro center and have had zero issues since but I almost got a display model canon eos rebel t 3i it was defective so I took it back to get my money back and instead I got the d3300 and I gave my dad a two lens kit d3100

Great camera, take great photos. I take a lot of scenery shots and they come out with enough detail to blow up and frame. It is light enough compared to other camera of the same quality.

First of all, let me preface that I have had many Nikon DSLRs. The D40,70s,90,200,7100,5500, and This one the D3300. Yes, that is a lot of Nikon cameras. Also proud owner of a Canon SLR, and Olympus Pentax too. I am a finicky being looking for the best companion that is with me in my car, my trails, airshows, car racing. I just never know where I will be, and what is going to happen. My Google Pixel 2 XL is the phone on the go with me. Why the D3300? Packaging, the weight, the grip that is just perfect for me. The D5500 was an awesome camera too, but the grip was not for my hands. I know that sounds rather bonkers but really sounds silly but if I don't like picking it up, I won't use it. The D3300 with or without my 3rd party battery grip is a natural in my hands. I don't really worry too much about the legacy lens support it lacks as the pin motor drive is absent. That might bother you a bit maybe? It does not have the pivot swivel screen either. Would like the D3500 maybe Nikon? Controls are fine and fall to hand. Though I am spoiled by the twin dials, I adapted just fine with the D3300. The Mic socket input is a biggy as I like to use my Tascam DR-100 MK. 3 to great effect. Image quality is great. To me as good as my bigger D7100 was if not a bit better. Detail and sharpness with my 50mm F1.8 are just dandy. Color trifle off but I shoot NEF/RAW so who cares. I do a bit of tweaking in post so no worries. Great dynamic range for those effects I might like to do. Unlike my MFT that was always so limiting due its processing and smaller sensor. The D3300 low light performance is great for my dark museum and show circuit trips. Videos are quite nice, but my 4K UHD video cameras spoil me. So no fair I know but I think 4K is becoming a reality whether you want it or not. It gives options for framed and aspect shooting or crop in post. Even still, it is reasonably sharp, though the focus, unlike Canon's dual pixel focus system, lags behind. But if I use manual focus and go, video on my tripod for my vlogs or whatever are just fine. The sound is pretty well DSLR-ish, meaning lousy. Get a decent Mic for your run and gun, and you could be a lot happier I think. I think a lot of the reviews will cover more of the technical stuff so pointless to repeat plus you are on the Nikon Website right? Needless to say with all of my shooting I never found the D3300 wanting for any of the silly mistakes I make. It always does what it is supposed to. I have also performed the firmware upgrades for best performance. Easy to do that too. So things I love. Size, weight, easy to use. Great Sensor and low noise, and image and video quality. A great starter camera sure and a great camera even if you are one of those know it alls. You just are excited about telling the story, and this little camera lets you do that so well. Things not so much. No swivel screen, no 4K video, No Touchscreen, and really that is about all. Oh, and the dual mode dials would be nice too. Final thoughts. The D3300 or even its newer sibling are not about shaking up the camera world. It just is not going to do that. But if you do want to shoot easily and not worry too much about the camera so much. It is tough to go wrong here. I had been diverted in so many directions. Look at my cameras previously owned. I came back to Nikon time and again. Why? Because they are the best? Not by a long shot. I came back because I love the way it does things, and I am comfortable with the system. I am sure I might be happy with other cameras, but for how long? And will that comfort level be there? So it looks like I am here to stay, and the D3300 for the foreseeable future will be my imaging and video companion for some time to come. Thanks for reading.

Versátil, pequeña. con grandes rangos dinámicos y una compatibilidad espectacular para otros objetivos. Es sencillamente el pequeño titán de la familia Nikon, Súper recomendada.

I upgraded from an older Nikon DSLR. Old lenses are compatible and the functions are familiar, with a few new ones.

I left film photography many years ago after owning and loving an Olympus OM-1. For my general photo needs over the past number of years I have owned a couple of small "point & shoot" film cameras and finally bought a Fuji digital. I owned it so long that it went obsolete and I could no longer buy accessory parts for it; enter the Nikon D3300 on sale with more options than other cameras. I have owned the 3300 for the past almost year and am still learning about it; but, I love it. I have taken numerous pictures all very pleasing and better quality then I am used to. I am slowly buying accessories such as filters and flash. I only wish I had taken the Nikon plunge earlier but then I would be into film Nikon instead of digital; so maybe it is for the best.

The camera is authentic, and was a great price. It's my first SLR and has been very easy to use. It has many modes for anything I would ever want help with taking a picture of in addition to the fully manual mode. I've had fun with it and my pictures have come out great.

I'm new to DSLR and found this camera to be easy to use. Hopefully I will be able to explore features beyond the auto mode and make full use of it. -:)

Beautiful camera! It is definitely a step up from my point and shoot and yet it is very easy to learn how to use. The images are sharp and it works well in low light.

I bought this camera for my wife so she could learn to use a DSLR instead of just her smart phone. She quickly learned enough about the camera to make the attached photo. We are both quite happy with the quality of photos and features this camera offers.

I bought this as my first camera other than my phone. It's been great so far. I used it on my trip to Yosemite and after seeing the pics I took, a couple people asked me if I was a photographer. Nope! Just used a decent camera with the kit lens. Just learn how to use the camera and it will go far for you!

I haven't had a chance to try out all the features of this camera. An upcoming road trip out west will give me a chance to run this camers through it's paces.

6 months after getting this I started getting a "shutter error" message each time I took a photo, sent it back for warranty, it's doing it again; same message and same results. Nikon Canada tells me to ship it back and they'll repair it again. I'll ship it back but they can keep this piece of junk. Exceptionally frustrating.

Just got it a day ago - the pictures taken for testing look good - will have to see how they are when processed and will update or post a new review then.
