The D3300 is the rare DSLR that will please both beginner digital shutterbugs as well as those with more experience.

Friendly interface ; Smooth operation

Program mode tends to produce darker exposures

The Nikon D3300 is a well-designed camera with a lot of hand-holding features that will appeal to enthusiasts and budding shooters alike.

Nikon D3300 Review

One of the biggest camera announcements at 2014's Consumer Electronics Show may well have been the little Nikon D3300 and its collapsible 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 VR II lens. It may not shoot 4K video or offer a curved LCD (those shows are all about the tech...

24 megapixel APS-C sensor is one of the best in its class Light, well-balanced body Detailed, smooth 1080/60p HD video Customizable Fn button allows for direct access to ISO or white balance Rear command dial makes shooting in P, A and S modes easy Raw...

Rear command dial can't be used with 'info' menu change settings more quickly Useful settings like Auto ISO on/off and Active D-Lighting buried in camera menu Can't change aperture while live view is engaged Auto mode continues to use very slow shutter...

Plain and simple, the Nikon D3300 aims to be a beginner's DSLR and hits that mark successfully. It functions well in point-and-shoot mode (provided you don't mind shooting with flash) and has most of the right controls for those who want to test the...

Nikon D3300

The Nikon D3300 is a solid entry-level camera for shooters moving up to a D-SLR, but it's not quite worthy of being named Editors' Choice.

Compact and light. Includes small, optically stabilized lens. Guide Mode for beginners. 24-megapixel sensor with no OLPF. Excellent JPG detail at high ISO. 4.9fps image capture. Raw shooting support. 1080p60 video. Mic input for video.

Fixed LCD. Images on the noisy side. Limited burst shooting in Raw. Small pentamirror viewfinder.

There's no Wi-Fi or GPS. You won't find GPS on many SLRs, although the Sony Alpha 65 does have it, but Wi-Fi is becoming more and more common as a built-in feature. Nikon offers the WU-1a as an add-on adapter, but we felt that it was a bit clunky to...

Nikon D3300 makes a solid first-dSLR choice

The company's latest entry-level model delivers the speed and photo quality you expect when stepping up from a point-and-shoot

The ; 's photo quality improves on its predecessor, and while it's not incredibly fast it performs pretty well for its price class.

The feature set remains pretty limited.

Very good photo quality for its class plus decent performance make the Nikon D3300 A solid choice for a first dSLR.

Nikon D3300 with 18-55mm II lens, Black

Photos are the camera's strongest suit. The D3300 improves on the image quality of the D3200, with most images appearing somewhat sharper as you'd expect from the new 24-megapixel antialiasing-filter-free sensor, and the camera fares pretty compared to...

Nikon D3300 HD-SLR

The Nikon D3300 will serve the entry-level DSLR market extremely well, offering a good value to inexperienced photographers looking to take a step forward from point-n-shoot cameras to more advanced models. The D3300 creates high-quality images and...

Good image quality versus other entry-level DSLRs ; Performance in low light is good with minimal noise in images ; 24 megapixels of resolution surpasses most entry-level DSLRs ; Fast performance in Viewfinder mode versus similarly priced...

Nikon D3300 Review

The Nikon D3300 is an entry-level digital SLR camera boasting a 24.2 megapixel DX format APS-C sensor with no anti-aliasing filter and the latest EXPEED 4 processor. The D3300 also features 5fps continuous shooting, a 3 inch 921k-dot LCD monitor,...

The Nikon D3300 at first seems to offer little in the way of new features or performance when compared to last year's D3200 model, but the many small improvements that Nikon have made - removal of the Optical Low Pass Filter, faster EXPEED 4 processor,...

Nikon D3300 Review

The Nikon D3300 is a solid camera, in more ways than one: solid build quality and solid image quality.

Excellent image quality with lots of fine detail; Very good high ISO performance; Good dynamic range; Good print quality; Deep buffers with JPEGs; 1080/60p video; Uncompressed HDMI output.

AF struggles in low-light; Contrast-detect AF in live view is slow; Buffer depth is shallow with RAW files; No AE bracketing; No built-in Wi-Fi.

The Nikon D3300 is a solid camera, in more ways than one: solid build quality and solid image quality. While autofocus performance is a little below average, and the limited external controls and smaller size may be a turn off for some, the D3300...
