Nikon D3300 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm VR II, 55-200mm VR Lens Kit - Black (24.2MP) 3 inch LCD

Having originally gone for a Canon 1000D four years ago, I grew increasingly frustrated with the very poor image quality, so I've sold all my Canon kit and have switched to Nikon's D3300. I am a beginner photographer/astro-photographer. This is an entry level or upper entry level camera which outcompetes Canon's alternatives in the form of the 1200D and 100D. Although slightly bigger than the 100D which was marketed as the world's smallest DSLR, you wouldn't really think so if the cameras were put side by side. In terms of image quality, you get 24mp versus 18mp resolution in those two other models, but on top of this the sensor gives you 35% more image quality, 11% more colour depth, over DOUBLE the low light ISO sensitivity (half your exposure time), and 14% more dynamic range (an image shows a greater range of light levels rather than everything either dark or light). Check Dxomark scores, which are lab tests done on cameras in a controlled environment using high tech software and sensors if you want to verify these numbers. The body feels solid yet light, grips in the hand very nicely and has intuitively placed buttons. The buttons have a nice clicky feel to them, and I particularly like the column of buttons on the left side of the screen. It has some nice features, the most notable of which is that you can apply many fun filters to your images on the camera. One of these is a 'miniature effect', where the top and bottom bands of the image are blurred as per your input to give a cool artistic effect, and in movie mode at 1080P HD resolution it compresses time by 15x so that a 45 minute movie turns into a 3m movie - making everything appear miniaturised and fast. On the auto modes any beginners will be able to use this camera, and the auto focus is top notch. If you know what you are doing with a camera, it has all the features that you would expect, including mirror lockup (it says for cleaning) if you want to be taking astrophotos. Video quality and sound is excellent. Make sure you have a high speed memory card otherwise it won't be able to record more than a small snippet of HD video. Either get a SHXC or SDHC (UHS-I) card of class 10 speed. The kit lens provided is a new lens released with this camera. When not in use, it compacts down to just a few inches, which is really handy when walking around or storing the camera. You just pop it out via a release button and then start focusing. The quality really is superb, and this lens if not supplied with the camera costs £170. If you are looking for your first camera, I highly recommend this.

Way back in the day, like 40 years ago, I was a keen photographer. With my Kodak Retina with a Zeiss lens and compure shutter I managed to learn a great deal about exposure, apertures, ev numbers, light meters and I even dabbled in developing and printing my own pictures. Back then it was a dream to be able to afford to own a decent SLR camera. For the next decades I carried on with ain't and shoot. Jump forward 40 years and at last I can afford a DSLR, but which one? Things have move on so much that your brain spins when you do the research. Then along comes Nikon with an offer I couldn't refuse. Just because I purchased a nice S9100 a couple of years ago they offered me £100 cash back if I bought a new D3300. When I looked at the reviews and features of the camera, features I could not have dreamed of 40 years ago, it was a no-brainer. And whilst I agree with another reviewer that it makes sense to wait a while for the price to come down, I have to say I have no regrets in buying it now. It is a superb camera, easy to handle, easy to operate, takes fabulous pictures and even has a 'newbie' guide as well. result! I haven't forgotten all I learnt back then regarding framing, lighting etc., but for the most part that's all you need as the camera can handle the rest. But when it comes to that special shot it has the features to give superb results too as you can set it to manual completely and have total control. If this sort of camera had been around when I were younger maybe I might have had a different career. This is a stonking camera for the money, despite some saying it is overpriced. If you are looking for an entry level DSLR that will allow you to develop your skills towards the professional level, look no further. Highly recommended.

This camera has a nice build quality and is great for anyone who wants to get in to photography. It is a entry level camera (as you can tell from the Guide mode function, which I personally don't use). I am no photography pro so I can't really say much about the camera. I used many online tutorials to learn how to take good photos without using auto mode therefore giving you more control. I recommend that if you are buying this camera and have never manually used on before (by adjusting the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO) then you should be prepared to take some time to learn how to do this, unless you just plan to use auto mode. When buying this camera make note that it does not come with any internal storage (so you will need a fast SD card) and does not come with a user guide. Nikon recommends a SD card that is at least class 6 so the camera does not get bottle necked by the SD card speed. If you plan to do high exposure photos then I recommend you buy a remote control for it to make sure the camera does not wobble when you press the button. The branded Nikon one is £16 which is way to much so I managed to buy a cheap Chinese remake of it for £1 which does the job perfectly.

A brilliant piece of kit. Has 1080 hd video and an external mic output which is great for vidro makers. Nice and small for a dslr but packs a punch. The removal of the anti alias filter makes it worth the extra in price to the d3200. The kit lens does the job fot amateur photography enthusiasts although any wildlife or long range shots need a telephoto lens. Would recommend a polarising filter as a cheap way of making photos even better. (52mm kit lens by the way) battery life is good. Although a second battery is easily the best addition to this camera. Just wish the screen had a proximity sensor so it would turn off when you use the viewfinder instead of manually turning it off. Overall a nice change to canons of similar spec I have used. And the colour makes it seem better and different from the others out there. Would reccomend to first time dslr owners and video makers. Easily worth spending a bit more for this over a top of the range bridge camera. And the clunk of the shutter feels more dedicated than a mirrorless camera.

0 STERNE an amazon ... (weniger geht leider nicht) die sterne der kamer kann ich leider nicht beurteilen da die bedienungsanleitung auf TSCHECHISCH ist. .. und von amazon erhielt ich bis dato nur 4x die antwort "es tut mir leid für die unannehmlichkeiten" ich soll mich selber um den nachversand einer deutschen anleitung kümmern (obwohl der artikel bei amazon gekauft wurde ... soll ich mich beim hersteller darum bemühen) denn das übersteigt die kompetenzen von amazon. ein jammer ... auf welch niedriges niveau amazon gekommen ist!

I volunteer at two zoos, doing photography for their marketing departments. I've been using a D3300 for years; I bought this one to replace a camera that finally died. I don't want bells and whistles, just a solid, entry-level camera that I can use with a zoom lens. The D3300 is just right for my purposes. One small annoyance about the D3300 is that changing the exposure settings -- for example, from aperture priority to automatic -- changes my focus setting and re-sets the control for taking multiple frames. Changing those two settings back where I want them is a little too much work when time is of the essence. I would also use a "bulb" setting if the camera had one. It's not worth the extra money to purchase a higher-end model for that feature. Overall, this is a great camera!

parfait.

Ich wollte mir nun endlich eine qualitativ hochwertigere Alternative zu meiner Bridgekamera Panasonic DMC-FZ8 zulegen, um einfach mehr Möglichkeiten beim Fotografieren zu haben und entsprechend auch auf andere Objektive zurückgreifen zu können. Ich hatte bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt keinerlei Erfahrung im Bereich Kameras mit Wechselobjektiv. Die erste Wahl fiel hierbei auf die inzwischen doch recht günstige Sony Alpha 5000. Warum ? Zum einen aufgrund der geringen Größe und des schnellen Autofokus, sowie der Möglichkeiten die Kamera über NFC und WLAN mit dem Smartphone zu verbinden. Allerdings habe ich nach kurzer Zeit festgestellt, dass die Sony für meine normal großen Hände doch etwas klein ist und ich das Feature Kamera mit Smartphone verbinden kaum bis gar nicht nutze .Somit habe ich mich aufgrund der guten Rezessionen bei Amazon für die Nikon D3300 entschieden und kann nach ca. 8 Wochen bisher nichts negatives berichten. Update nach ca. 5 Monaten: Kamera macht wirklich tolle Fotos mit bisher nur Kit-Objektiv, leider sind gute Objektive doch sehr teuer. Aber das ist auch bei Canon oder Sony so, allerdings habe ich den Eindruck, dass Nikon immer ein kleines Stückchen teurer ist. Vorteile: - 24,2 MP Sensor - externer Mikrofoneingang - Videos in 1920x1080 50p - sehr große Auswahl an Objektiven - Bedienung äußerst komfortabel über FN-Taste und Quick-Menü, das bedeutet man muss nicht immer in das Hauptmenü einsteigen um Einstellungen wie z.B. ISO-Wert, Blitzbelichtungskorrektur, Autofokus-Messfeldsteuerung, oder Bildqualität zu ändern - externer Blitzanschluss - Möglichkeit über Infrarot-Fernbedienung fern auszulösen, Tipp:Für HTC-Handys gibt es hier eine Android App - Guide-Mode erklärt wirklich super für Einsteiger - Haptik und Verarbeitung hervorragend - Serienbildfunktion ist genial, der Pufferspeicher schafft: 5 Bilder RAW + JPG; 6 RAW; 8 JPG FINE; 12 JPG NORM; 21 JPG BASIC - Akku hält ewig, Ersatzakkus sind erschwinglich Der einzig Wermutstropfen der mir ich bisher aufgefallen ist , dass die Nikon-Objektive leider immer ein bisschen teurer sind als die der großen Konkurrenz. Edit nach ca. 8 Monaten Benutzung: Je mehr man sich mit der D3300 beschäftigt desto besser werden die Bilder. Ich habe mir zusätzlich zum Kit Objektiv noch das Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50 mm 1:1,8G Objektiv (58mm Filtergewinde) geholt. Dieses Objektiv verbessert die eh sehr gute Bildqualität der D3300 nochmal um einiges. Die Bilder werden knackscharf einfach hammer. Des Weiteren habe ich mir den YONGNUO SPEEDLITE YN565EX für Nikon Kameras - iTTL-fähiger Systemblitz Leitzahl 58 zugelegt, absolut zuverlässiger Blitz, nur wichtig die Nikon Variante auswählen! Natürlich kann auch ein günstigerer Blitz verwendet werden ohne TTL Funktion. Aber dennoch uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung, da ich denke man bekommt eine Kamera mit Features die bis vor einigen Jahren gar nicht oder wenn dann nur im Profibereich zu haben waren zu einem unschlagbaren Preis. Lasst mich wissen ob, euch die Rezession was gebracht hat und bewertet die Rezension entsprechend. Vielen Dank!

Beste Kamera ever! Nie wieder ohne sie! Die Kamera macht super Aufnahmen und man kann sehr viel damit spielen. Die Qualität ist einfach Atemberaubend. Liegt gut in der Hand und lässt sich einfach bedienen. Die werde ich auf jeden Fall lange behalten! :)
