Review on Nikon D3400 Red Camera with AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens by Faten Teller

The Nikon D3400 with the new AF-P 18-55mm and 70-300mm lenses is unbeatable at its current price ($500). The body of the D3400 is compact and lightweight for a DSLR. The 18-55mm lens is what you'd expect from a kit lens, and it features VR (vibration reduction, Nikon's version of image stabilization). The 70-300mm is great when you need more range and fast focusing. Nikon sells a VR-capable version of the 70-300mm lens, but includes a non-VR version in this kit. This is disappointing as the image stabilization would have been useful at longer zooms and slower shutter speeds. I plan to use this lens primarily for outdoor sports with faster shutter speeds, so it won't make much of a difference for me, but it would be nice to have VR for indoor or outdoor shooting in low light. Additionally, Nikon has added software to this camera so it will not work with third-party batteries installed. I learned this the hard way and will return any 3rd party batteries I have purchased. However, I have been told that there are new third party batteries that have found a way around this. I'm waiting for my confirmation. I've attached some sample images I took with both lenses on the D3400 during a trip to the Zoo Light Festival. I used 70-300mm for most outdoor animals until the sun came up, then switched to 18-55mm for pets and photographed the light (using a monopod) after sunset.
