This is a cheap camera but there is nothing cheap about its image quality. RAW files are excellent with consistently good white balance

The SnapBridge Bluetooth connectivity is no match for a full WiFi smartphonetocamera connection. It only transfers files from camera to phone and doesn't function as a wireless remote
LCD screen lacks touch operation and is somewhat reflective
Lacklustre kitlens performance at wide and telephoto ends
Poor connectivity options and connectivity performance
Unremarkable burst depth when shooting raw images
Currently not great value fo
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
Small and easy to use, Generous range of exposure modes, Provides access to Nikon's huge lens range, Excellent image quality
Currently a little pricey compared to the D3300, Removal of external microphone jack
Judged on its own merit, theres a lot to like about the D3400. Its a well-thought-out and nicely designed camera that caters for the needs of first-time DSLR owners in a number of different ways. From its simplified physical controls to its instructive...
Traditional DSLR styling and controls, Snapbridge, Long battery life, Simple to use
Fixed non-touch-sensitive screen, No Wi-Fi, No 4K video, Optical viewfinder doesn't offer 100% coverage
Nikon D3400 – Performance and Autofocus In good light, the camera is capable of locking onto a subject very quickly – and generally pretty accurately, too. In lower light, it's best if you can use the central AF point and focus and recompose, since this i...

Very compact and lightweight body, Superb battery life, Good single, shot AF performance, Very compact and quiet kit lens
No touchscreen, Lacklustre kit lens performance, Poor connectivity options
The Nikon D3400 has plenty going for it, with a beautifully compact body, a decent AF system, huge battery life and reliable image quality. It is, however, a familiar case of it currently being priced well above a number of older but better-specified alte...
Abstract: The majority of the D3400's core features have been carried over from the previous model. The sensor is still 24.2MP and can produce JPEG and 12-bit RAW files with a maximum resolution of 6000x4000px. The Expeed 4 processor is also the same, although the...

Good colours, fine details, Good noise reduction, accurate white balance, Light, easy to use, Prolonged battery life
Autofocus is often slow, No sensor cleaning, No weatherproofing on body
The Nikon D3400 is the best budget DSLR in the market right now, but not without a few flaws. It delivers class-leading imaging performance, and now begs for an upgrade to the autofocus mechanism. The very light body and easy controls aid usage, but the e...
Compact and lightweight, Very good ISO performance, Bluetooth for file transfers, Improved battery life
Only a minor refresh of the D3300, No Wi-Fi, Display washes out under direct sunlight
The D3400 retails online for about Rs.29,990, which is what Canon's 1300D goes for as well. Between the two companies, Nikon has the stronger product at this price, both in terms of performance and features. It has better ISO performance at higher sensiti...
Supercompact light weight design, Captures high quality images, 24MP APSC CMOS Sensor, 11point PDAF system, 5fps burst shooting, Can capture upto 1200 shots, 1080p Videos at 60fps, Good single shot AF system
No builtin Wifi, No touchscreen, No articulating screen, Slow image transmission via Snapbridge app, Average video features, Mediocre flash, Missing external microphone input, No GPS, Could have sensor cleaner just like other Nikon DSLR's
There are many specification upgrades that you get on Nikon D3400 DSLR over Canon1300D or Nikon D3300. But a higher resolution size and battery capacity makes it the best choice among the available entry level DSLRs in the market. Indeed it's an entry lev...
