Thank you for this video. I'm thinking of buying a secondhand one with a bag of lenses. You answered all my questions, and I appreciate your knowledge and liking of this camera.
Hi Thomas! Thank you very much for watching. A D3400 with lots of lenses sounds like a very nice way to do photography. If I may, there is one lens that I'd recommend the most - the Nikon AF-S 50mm F/1.8 G (ruclips.net/video/cz1i38ZGQ5U/видео.html). It's a full frame lens but I like it even more with my D3400 than with a full frame Nikon. Best of luck to you!
Appreciate this video! I've had my D3400 for several years now and is a companion to a Nikon FX D750, but I find myself using the DX kit lenses 18-55mm and 55-200mm mostly for outdoor photography. Many thanks for your information....
Thank you for Your review on the Nikon D-3400 I also have it as an Extra Camera to learn more, Don't know how come I like it so well, but I do, it's a good thing to have a Camera that's not that Expensive, and it does simply what you want it to do.! I am so Happy with your review, I just prescribed because of the accolades you've given this Camera, Please do more with the Nikon D-3400 because you'll help many beginners become Great Photographers, always do atleast one Monthly review on it and I'll be a continual dedicated patron, Thanks Again Great Review.! TomPhotp -- kudos Boston ❤️ Massachusetts
Thank you so much for watching. Indeed, the D3400 is a great camera. It does exactly what you want from a camera and is very non-intimidating. I'm using my D3400 on a regular basis, mostly with a Tamron 90mm macro lens these days. Best of luck to you!
Many thanks for the videos, I have recently bought a D3300 and I'm getting a lot of help from your content especially the reviews of the AF-S. DX 18-55mm etc. Thanks again, keep these videos coming.
Hi! Thanks so much. I'm very glad I could help you. I just made a Nikon D3300 review video and I'm posting it this coming Sunday. Please check back to see that video. I've also made a video where I compare the sensors of D3300 and D3400, this video is coming out in 3 weeks time. I think the D3300 is a wonderful camera and you made the right decision getting it. Kind regards!
@@tom_photo Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for those videos. A second hand Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f1.8 G arrived earlier this week so plenty to play with.
PS -- I make sure I watch completely the to commercials, so you get some kind of credit, Thats the least I can do.! But please atleast do something that D-3400 once a month 🙏 I will follow and watch completely all commercials thar start with your Posts.! ( also have the D-750 & D-850 as well ) Again you will have many beginners that will follow you.! TomPhoto Boston Massachusetts
Thanks so much. That’s very kind of you. I'll make sure to feature the D3400 in my future videos. If there are any aspects you are particularly interested in, let me know. I was thinking of talking more about the specific photography settings I’m using. Kind regards!
I’ve had the hardest time upgrading from my 3300. It’s hard to find something reasonably priced with similar or better specs without falling back into about the same time period as these guys.
@@tom_photo something a bit more travel friendly. Preferably with 4k abilities. I did stumble into an x100v last week at too low of a price to pass up.. I’m just debating on keeping it now lol Was looking at a few Sony options but essentially would just be a dslr to mirrorless swap unless I went newer than a6000. And then price becomes a concern again..
Most important i like this D-3400,,, Ofcourse i take it with me when afraid of taking more expensive Cameras for damage or theft,,, Its just a pressure FREE feelling,,, Of not loosing expensive equipment,,, This i can keep in my car always.!!!
I am thinking of getting a camera to start my photography. Is the Nikon D3400 okay to take with the 50mm prime lens? If it's not good then what would be the best camera in this budget right now?
Hi S.M. 01! Yes, the D3400 is absolutely a good choice to be used with a 50 mm prime lens. The best Nikkor 50mm prime is the AF-S 50mm G because it has a motor inside. So you can use automatic focusing. If you have the motor-less AF 50mm D, then you can only use manual focusing. Kind regards!
Hi there! I have a choice of borrowing a D3100 or D3400 for a Northern Lights cruise holiday - I'm a beginner and was thinking of getting a compact digital point and shoot camera but would either of these be just as good with the only drawback being the size - which one should I borrow? Thanks
Hi Robert! Thank you for asking. The D3400 is much newer technology, lighter and will take many more photos with a single charge. It will give you a better resolution and cleaner photos (no low pass filter). Both cameras are equally easy to operate. I would recommend D3400. Thank you for watching and I wish you a wonderful holiday!
Hi! Thank you for asking. I'm not an expert on Canon but after studying this Canon I'd say that the Nikon D3400 would be my preference. It is a bit more capable and does not have the low pass filter. Kind regards!
Great Video- I own one with the kit lens and looking to get back to photography. What lens would you recommend for portrait and general photography? thanks
Hi Rashed! Thank you for asking. One of my favorite lenses for this camera is the Nikon AF-S 50mm F/1.8 (ruclips.net/video/cz1i38ZGQ5U/видео.html). It's a full frame lens, so it works both with crop sensor and full frame. Kind regards!
Hi! Thanks for watching. The filters you see in front of the lenses in my videos are typically simple protective filters (just glass), or sometimes uv-protection filters. These are the most basic filters, usually made by Hoya. I use them to make sure that the glass surface of my lens isn't getting scratched. The filter needs to be high quality otherwise it may influence your photo quality. You can pick them up at any camera store. Kind regards!
@@jayinla228 Hi! I have various filter but an example of a good one would be this: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1405847-REG/hoya_a_nxtpl58uv_58mm_nxt_plus_uv.html . Cheers!
Hi Taras! Thank you for asking. These cameras are both very nice. The image quality is about the same. What the D5300 will give you is more options but not better photo quality. Most notably you will get a tilting screen. However the D3400 is lighter and newer technology. It also has bluetooth and better color depth. If the D5300 is $100 more expensive I'd get the D3400. This camera is very capable and very affordable. Kind regards!
Hi! Thank you for asking. Indeed, I think this is one of the best cameras for beginners. It has all the functions and is easy to use at the same time. Kind regards!
Hi Tim, thanks for the informative video. I'm a beginner and looking for a special use SLR camera. I fly wildlife survey in Alaska for a living. I need to step my game up from my phone. I take pictures of wolves, bears, dens, wounded animals etc... that I need to document my work These pics would be taken at 500' to 1000' feet roughly from the subject on the ground. And travelling at around 60 mph. I can go higher to make the movement less, but I know that would require more zoom too. My question/concern is you mention that the D3400 doesn't do well over ISO 400 and also not on days that aren't real bright/sunny. Given this would it still be a good camera for my purpose? I don't need prof. level photos, just better than an Iphone. The kit I'm looking at comes with 18-55 and a 70-300 lens. Would these work well? Sorry for the long question and I know there are many variables. Just looking for your general opinion. And if not this model, is there a better one in similar price range? Thanks so much for any advice.
Hi TOM, (Sorry, for the "Tim" above :) You also mentioned this camera doesn't have any stabilization, I would think that would be important shooting from an airplane? If so, is it likely that the two kit lenses would offer this? Thanks again, sorry for the longest question ever!!
Hi Lance! Thank you for asking. The D3400 is a very good general purpose camera. However, the photos depend more on the lens you are using than the camera. If you are using lenses that do not have vibration reduction then you would be best served by a camera that has in body images stabilization. Nikon crop sensor cameras do not have that. Are you thinking about getting a Nikon, or are you open to other options, too? If you are considering Nikon then most likely the D3400 is a good option. Going with a Nikon is generally a good idea. Their dSLR cameras are very good and lenses are affordable. Hybrid cameras would be another option but this will make everything more expensive (especially the lenses). Kind regards!
@@LanceWilliams-wn2xf Hi Lance! Yes, the kit zoom lenses offer vibration reduction. So if you only use those then it won't matter that the body isn't stabilized. It seems to me that the D3400 should work well for you. It offers great image quality and it's very easy to operate, too. Best of luck!
Thanks for the knowledgeable opinion. There's so much out there it's hard for a beginner to sort thru it all. I appreciate your insightful videos and willingness to help break it all down. Cheers!
Hi! Thanks for asking. Indeed, this camera is very suitable. The results will depend more on the lens than the camera anyway. You might want to get a good wide angle lens for interior photography. Best of luck to you!
My First digital camera D5600. I love this thing. The moving screen makes for easier low to the ground shots.
Hi Ian! The D5600 is a great camera. The fact that it has a tilting screen fixes the main issue that the D3400 has. Kind regards!
That's nice! I used to only have a d3400 for 2 months, but now I have a d5600. I'm still new, but learning step by step.
Hi LeeSan1724! Thank you for watching. Both of these cameras are very nice. Kind regards!
