Superb!

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! :)

Love it the best DSLR I’ve ever owned

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

Nikon D3300

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.

Big inside heart, Small as my event companion takes me.

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.

My first Nikon

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.

Great Camera for the price!

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!

Unreliable

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.

Amazing as a first DSLR

This camera is stunning. It has a very powerful sensor, easy controls, accessible dials, and plenty of controls. Also, the ISO can achieve good results, but above 400 will create noise. However, as a first DSLR, you couldn't go wrong. The control panel is easy to use, adjustments are easily changed with two fingers, and the price is very good for the quality. I have a full frame macro lens that pairs wonderfully. Don't hesitate to spend the money for it.

This is a great camera for the price! I upgraded to this from an older Nikon so it wasn't hard to learn but it has upgraded features. I haven't used it much but I'm excited to go play with it soon. Nikon never disappoints me.

Hobbyist

After many years of taking photos with the point and shoot cameras I decided it was time to level up. This camera is the perfect choice, this is my first DSLR. I'm in the process of learning about the manual functions and taking better quality photos. Most of what I shoot are nature, I added a 55-300 zoom that is working great as well. From a novice, I highly recommend this camera.

Nikon 330 camera and 18-55 AF-S DX NIKKOR lens.

It's as much as I need now. Gave my advanced Nikon to the Discover Life in America, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Debating whether to now get a variable telephoto lens ( ~70-200). Recomendation?

Great Camera!

I got this camera because I really got frustrated taking pictures with my Nikon Coolpix. It just didn't focus fast enough and I missed a lot of great pictures of my grand kids as a result. Problem solved with the Nikon D3300. Took it to my granddaughter's basketball games. Put it on sports mode and it focused super fast. Got a lot of great shots. Also took pictures of my 9 month old grandson. I missed so many cute smiles with my old camera. Not this one, focus is fast and sharp! Going to Yosemite this summer, can't wait to try it there!

Good quality, positive customer reviews, affordable price.

Purchased for my wife for her 30th. Shes been wanting to upgrade for a while and this was a perfect camera for her to do so. Only been using it for a week now but so far it's a great camera. Don't know much about cameras but researched online and this camera has a lot of positive customer reviews.

Great DSLR for people getting started

I bought this camera both for photography and videography. While the lens is noisy when using autofocus for video, this can be alleviated by using the manual focus mode. However as a camera, it is great, autofocus is extremely effective and fast when using the viewfinder and the built in flash is powerful. The camera is even faster when using an external flash and I have taken some really great shots with it despite being a novice when it comes to camera modes. The guide function is a great tool in learning how to use the camera, and will help those like myself who are coming from point and shoot cameras to be more efficient and effective DSLR photographers.

Best entry level DSLR

Learn about the NIKON D3300 W/18-55 VR II LENS - BLK

When you purchase a camera/lens combination, you expect a lot of features. And who could blame you? Certainly not us at Adorama. But if your expectations go above and beyond the vague “a lot of features,” then we’ve got precisely what the doctor ordered: the NIKON D3300 W/18-55 VR II LENS – BLK. Not only is this lens/camera combination a complete photography studio in and of itself, but it has the image retouching and special effects necessary to lift it into something else entirely. In short, the Nikon d3300 is everything you’ve been looking for.

Don’t believe us? Let’s go through the litany of astounding and highly creative features available here:

  • Special effects. Yeah, we at Adorama like to start with the sexy stuff. But admit it: Selective color, color sketch, miniature effects, night vision, silhouette effects, high/low keys, toy camera effects, HDR painting effects, a super vivid effect, pop, photo illustration, easy panorama—it’s just too much to not be excited about. And, yes, it’s all contained in the Nikon d3300, so don’t worry about having to buy some add-on gizmos or extensions that contribute to the price. What you see is what you get with this combination. (Note: Compare it to the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens if you want some more context for just how many special effects are available here.)
  • Spectacular image quality. Courtesy of a few technical specifications, from an effective pixel count of 24.2-million pixels to the Nikon DX-format CMOS censor with no optical low-pass filter. There’s a lot that goes into image processing in this Nikon, including the innovative EXPEED 4 image-processing engine. Better image quality, consistent image quality, and support for high image sensitivity—that’s a combination that even professionals can enjoy.
  • Image-retouch options. Remember how when it comes to the Nikon d3300, Adorama said that it’s a virtual photography studio? We’re not far off. The retouching options here are abundant, including D-lighting, Red-eye correction, trim, monochrome, filter effects, color balance, image overly, resizing, quick retouching, straightening, distortion control, fisheye—the list goes on and on and on. Heck, we can’t even list them all here without getting overly verbose. Just take our word for it: you can do a heck of a lot of correcting simply by using your Nikon.
  • Intuitive navigation. If all these features sound like a lot to handle, don’t be intimidated, There’s a button that gives you instant access to these functions, allowing you to quickly make any necessary changes without shuffling through a thousand digital buttons.
  • A viewfinder that delivers the goods, including a 0.85x magnification factor with a frame coverage of about 95%, giving you all that you need to ensure that your next shot is going to be a good one.

Whether you’re going with a body only 3300 or the full package, you really can’t go wrong here. The NIKON D3300 W/18-55 VR II LENS – BLK contains an astounding array of features and options that will whet the appetite of even the most seasoned photographers.
