Nikon D3300 24.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with Auto Focus-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Zoom Lens (Black)

I recently purchased the Nikon D3300 Digital SLR with the included Auto Focus-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Zoom Lens in black, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, the image quality produced by this camera is outstanding. With its 24.2 MP CMOS sensor, I've been able to capture incredibly sharp, detailed, and vibrant photos. Whether it's portraits, landscapes, or low-light conditions, the D3300 performs admirably. The included 18-55mm VR II zoom lens is versatile and has proven to be a great choice for everyday photography. The Vibration Reduction (VR) feature is particularly useful in ensuring that my shots are crisp and blur-free, even when shooting at longer focal lengths. The D3300 is also user-friendly, making it an excellent option for both beginners and enthusiasts. The intuitive controls and user interface are easy to navigate, and there's even a helpful Guide Mode that provides tips and assistance for those who are new to DSLR photography. I've appreciated the camera's lightweight and compact design, which makes it easy to carry around for extended periods without feeling fatigued. The battery life is also impressive, allowing me to shoot without constantly worrying about recharging. The D3300's ability to shoot Full HD video is a bonus. It captures smooth and clear videos with excellent color reproduction. In summary, the Nikon D3300 Digital SLR with the included 18-55mm VR II Zoom Lens is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to step up their photography game. It delivers exceptional image quality, ease of use, and versatility in a compact and affordable package. Whether you're a beginner or a more experienced photographer, this camera is sure to impress.

It's been a long time since I've bought myself a new camera, and I wanted something a step up from the super-zoom bridge cameras I've been using. I purchased the D3300, and I'm happy with my decision. The camera comes with the usual set of accessories, and an Auto Focus-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Zoom Lens. The camera itself seems well built despite being largely rubberized plastic. The tripod mount is thankfully made from metal. The 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Lens is pretty good for a kit lens. Again there's a lot of plastic on the outside, but it has very good glass as I'm having very good results with it. Together with the camera, it's a fairly lightweight combo for a DSLR. The camera is on the small side which I consider a positive thing. It has good ergonomics, and the controls are laid out well. I'm still getting used to the Nikon menus, and fine tuning the settings. After charging the battery which took little over an hour, I took several dozen pictures and some HD video using the default camera settings just to get an idea what kind of results to expect. I shot in Program Mode and JPEG (Fine). For the most parts the results ranged from excellent to good. Shots taken outside in good lighting conditions were excellent all around. Colors were vibrant and accurate. Reds were slightly exaggerated, but only slightly and no big deal to me. Also all the pictures seemed a little "soft" to me. This was easily corrected/improved though by bumping up the camera's Sharpness Setting a couple of steps. Changing it from the default +3 to +5 (on a scale of 0 to +9) made the pictures look much better. So far that's the only change I've need to make to be almost totally satisfied with my outdoor results. My indoor/poor lighting pictures are a work in progress. By no means were my results poor though. They were actually pretty good, but I know there's room for improvement. Even using the default settings though, the results surpassed anything my bridge cameras produce. I'm still learning how to get the best results with my new Nikon D3300, but the fact it can still produce good results right out of the box tells me things will only get better. As for my video results, they were very good too. I actually have little interest in taking video with this camera, as it isn't the reason I purchased it. But I wanted to test it anyway. HD Video was clear and smooth using a very fast 633x 32GB SDHC UHS-I/U3 Card. I believe people planning on using it for video taking will be happy with it. Finally, the battery life seems very good too. I took over 200 pictures with and without the flash on, and several videos. I've also spent a lot of time with the screen on messing around in the menus. The battery is still showing about 25% left. I'm sure under normal usage I could get over 500 shots on a single charge. Here is a summary of the Pro's and Con's that I've found so far with the Nikon D3300. I've also attached a low light/no flash ISO 800 picture to show the camera can still take good pictures even in poor lighting conditions. Pro's: Price. Excellent image and video quality. Small and lightweight. Well built. Very good kit lens with image stabilization. Easy to use. Good battery life. Auto Mode works well for novices. Cons: Only has 3 resolutions and 1 aspect ratio (4:3). A lot of plastic. No in-camera battery charging. Fixed non-touch LCD screen. WiFi requires an external adapter.

After doing a ton of research, I decided on the D3300 and I'm so glad I did. I will say that my dad and father in law both are Nikon guys so that swayed me a little just because I know Nikon makes great quality products. This camera is easy to use and with lots of YouTube videos on the camera and how to use it, you can be shooting in modes like Aperture Priority Mode(my new favorite) in no time and I've never taken a photo with anything but auto mode so this is making photography really cool to learn. The camera has a great built in manual to help show you the setting adjustment options and what they mean so it is just such an easy camera to learn and get comfortable with. I decided on the D3300 over the D3400 because with the limitation of only being able to download a max 2MB picture using SnapBridge, I didn't need to spring for that feature as I just pop the memory card in to my PC to quickly download my images. This camera takes great photos, is light and feels good in your hand, and is a great price for all you get. I plan on enjoying this camera for years to come and am excited to progress my photography skills. I plan on purchasing 2 lenses down the road which are the 35mm and 55-200mm DX lenses but this kit lens will be just fine for now.

Llegó en el tiempo prometido y en excelente estado. La cámara cumple con lo prometido y las fotos son de una calidad excelente. Específicamente si se usa en modo manual se pueden lograr resultados increíbles. El lente de 18-55mm funciona bien y es una buena opción para aquellos que comienzan en la fotografía. [ACTUALIZADO 27/NOV/15] Después de varios meses ya con esta cámara no podría estar mas contento. Me ha resultado de maravilla para aprender conceptos básicos de fotografía así como también técnicas avanzadas. El nivel de la cámara es de entrada, pero no dejes que eso te desanime, pues solo significa que no está pensada para trabajos profesionales, pero no que no pueda dar resultados profesionales. Explico, muchas cámaras con valores arriba de los 40 mil pesos tienen la misma calidad fotográfica en buenas condiciones de luz, sin embargo su valor incrementa por ciertos atributos extras como la cantidad de fotos que pueden tomar por segundo, la sensibilidad del sensor (ISO), el tamaño del sensor (DX o FX), si la cámara está sellada contra agua, cantidad de puntos de enfoque cruzados, pantalla LCD plegable, etc. Estas características son indispensables en algunos trabajos de foto como deportes o fotografías en climas extremos. Si no necesitas dichas funciones y puedes prescindir de ellas, esta cámara es para ti. Si buscas una cámara económica para aprender, esta es una excelente opción. Si tienes curiosidad del mundo reflex pero no quieres hacer una gran inversión, esta es excelente. En fin, para el precio que tiene sus características son increíbles, a tal modo que solo la cambiaría por una nikon de Serie 7000 que ya suelen tener sensor FX, sin embargo rondan los 40 mil pesos en precio.

Justing time. Excelente productos and shipping

Desde el buen fin quería comprar esta cámara, estuvo en promoción a 5,999 sin embargo al medio día cuando me había decidido a comprarla se había agotado, sin embargo la volvieron a surtir después del buen fin y al mismo precio, solo que sin la promoción de bonificar 3 meses. Aun así, si comparas el precio con otros sitios web este es por mucho el mejor precio. Les dare información útil sobre la camara que no viene en la descripción: trae una correa para colgártela en el cuello (cuesta un poco de trabajo colocarla), obviamente el lente no viene puesto, es importante leer las instrucciones para colocarlo ya que se debe tener mucho cuidado para no tocar ni dejar que entre polvo en las partes internas donde se coloca el lente. El lente trae un seguro, que se quita apretando un boton, si ese seguro no se quita la camara no puede enfocar, no trae tarjeta sd. Vienen 2 manuales uno en ingles y otro en español, sin embargo en el cd que viene incluido encontraras un manual mucho mas extenso y con mejores ilustraciones, el cargador incluido es tipo pared y la bateria se carga aproximadamente en 2 horas, recomendado recargarla a full antes de empezar a usar la camara. Otra recomendación que les hago es que aparte de darle una leída al manual busquen algun libro sobre fotografia, incluso hay libros dedicados específicamente para este modelo, los dos que estoy leyendo son: Nikon D3300 for Dummies y Nikon D3300 for snapshots to great Shots (los dos están en ingles) para que puedan sacarle provecho a esta excelente cámara. No trae estuche, por lo que hay que ir pensando en comprar uno, los de amazon basics son de excelente calidad y a un muy buen precio, tampoco trae memoria SD, les recomiendo una de 32 gb que tenga por lo menos una tasa de transferencia de 60 Mb/s mínimo. Apenas la comienzo a utilizar y a explorar todas las posibilidades, las fotos son excelentes, estoy muy satisfecho por mi compra, anímense y no se arrepentirán.

Works well. The default lens isn't suitable to zoom in very much but works very well. Great price for a starter DSLR.

Muy satisfecho con el producto, llego antes de tiempo... Tuve algunos problemas con mi cuenta los cuales resolvieron de inmediato y personal muy amable. Ahora a checar la canara. Hasta ahora todo muy bien. GRACIAS
