Compact, lightweight, great image quality, reasonably priced
Little has changed since the D3200, competition from Canon 1200D and CSCs

No touchscreen or tilt/swivel screen, No WiFi, No electronic level, Images are a little dark (underexposed), Design and handling could be better suited to beginners, Zoom lens generally disappointing at wideangle, Sound recorded in mono rather than stereo

Compact retracatble lens, Great guide mode, Excellent picture quality
Fixed LCD, No touchscreen, No Wi-Fi
The Nikon D3300 is a superb entry-level DSLR - the upgrades from the last model are small but significant and the combined result is superb. And the new, compact lens is simply fantastic. What's more, we reckon the build quality doesn't feel quite as basi...
