The ideal camera for the novice photographer!

Handy 'info function'
Quality photos
Various options
Limited zoom range (18-55mm lens)

I am a starting hobby photographer; and so I wanted a camera that could also help me step by step in taking beautiful photos. In this review I describe my search process on the one hand; and why I chose the Nikon D3400 AF-P + 18-55mm. Then I also tell my experiences with this device and with the lens.

I started my search for a suitable camera on Coolblue. I hesitated between a Canon and Nikon as a brand. But by making a comparison, I quickly noticed that Canon offers fewer megapixels and fewer options than Nikon within this price range. This led me to opt for a Nikon device.

Then looking for the type of Nikon that suits me. The choice for the D3400 was made fairly quickly; and was also obvious. Because this device is strongly recommended for the novice photographer because of its handy 'info functions' and this device also offers the possibility to make both 'automatic', 'semi-automatic' and 'manually set' shots. In this way you can learn step by step and also evolve in taking pictures. All this works very well. In a few weeks you will quickly learn what all functions are for and what the effect is if you change a certain setting. This is because there is an 'info button' on the camera. If you don't know what that one function or setting served for, you can press it and a short yet complete explanation will appear. Particularly useful!

Overall I am very satisfied with the device itself. You learn quickly; and it also allows you to learn at your own pace. All this without sacrificing the quality of the photos. This is because of the handy 'info function' I mentioned earlier. I also think the quality of the lesson is very good. It is also convenient to use. However, I would still recommend a good comparison with the 18-105 mm lens. This is a variant (camera remains the same). Because in retrospect the 18-105mm lens would have been better suited for me. Since this has a larger zoom range compared to the current 18-55 mm lens, but I think that is mainly a personal preference.

Overall I can say that I am very satisfied with the device. In just a few weeks, thanks to the Nikon D3400, I have already learned a lot about photography and how a certain setting can change the composition of your photo. I also think that even a more advanced photographer will find it an ideal device because of the optimal quality and the many functions.

A great camera for the novice photographer

Beautiful quality photos
Easy for beginners
Not too big, not too small
No option for external microphone

The Nikon D3400 is a great DSLR camera for anyone who wants more control and creativity in their photos.

-The housing is nice and compact compared to other DSLRs, but large enough to maintain a good grip. Due to the beginner mode on the camera, every function of the camera is clearly explained and you gradually get more and more control over the various functions.

-The photos are very sharp with a lot of detail on the 11 focus points, only the 24mp APS-C sensor does not come into its own with the 18-55 kit lens. That's why I would quickly recommend a prime lens to get even more detail in your photos.

-The battery lasts a very long time and with 1200 photos is more than enough to get a full day of photography.

All in all, the D3400 is a great camera for the novice photographer. Very good quality photos for a friendly price and a very good build quality and battery life make this one of the best starter DSLRs!

Undisputed winner in place makers for a beginner

amazing pictures
Easy and affordable for a beginner
Performs well in dark
With all (necessary) accessories still a best amount

After I had several lessons at school in photography, I was warm to the sport. After a long search and comparisons, I went for the Nikon D3400 and have absolutely no regrets.

The camera is very easy to use for a beginner. Of course you have to google some things, but there is also a handy help function on the camera. I'd rather find out for myself, call it stubborn, call it characteristic. But the feature is there for those who need it. (or just want to go through it discreetly and then pretend you know what you're talking about in the presence of others.) In short, handy function and nice that it's there.

The quality is certainly something I am pleased with. I have always been a proponent of a smartphone camera. But it's amazing to keep the photos from a smartphone and SLR side by side. Big difference! If you are interested in photography or want to take beautiful pictures of a holiday or a wedding, don't worry about your smartphone. An SLR is what you need to at least appear interesting and to take real quality photos.

In itself, it is still worth considering going for a system camera. They are more compact, are starting to catch up with SLR cameras and are absolutely not inferior in quality. What has turned me off is the physical condition of such cameras. I like something big in my hands... Multiple reviews and people who know what they're talking about indicate that mirrorless cameras are better for video and vloggers. As a young man with life experiences in his mid-twenties, this isn't exactly what I wanted to use the camera for. So SLR was the way to go for me. Perhaps something to consider for a camera enthusiast in a different segment.

Golden tip of the week, especially in the beginning if you are still fanatically busy and want to take a picture of everything to irritation of co-living, it is advisable to order an extra battery. A bag and an SD card should speak for themselves. The stock lens performs surprisingly well, so ordering multiple lenses as a beginner will not start just yet.

So my conclusion is, definitely recommended if you have some extra money left and want to pick up a nice new hobby. You don't have to be afraid that you won't understand anything. In automatic mode it is not very different from your smartphone. Just a little bigger…
