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

In general, I like the Nikon D3300. Great SLR camera at a budget price. I am satisfied with the purchase. He performs his tasks perfectly. Suitable for taking pictures of all life events: trips, travels, photos of acquaintances, friends and family. You can also take artistic pictures. I want the Nikon D3300 to continue to serve perfectly. Has pros: Nikon D3300 is a very decent DSLR at a very budget price. The main advantage is the budget price for a SLR camera. Compact and lightweight - you can take it anywhere with you. The presence of many modes and scenes: miniature effect, color sketch, HDR drawing. Although I rarely use it. I shoot everything in M. A good Picture Control system - you can set the parameters for the colors of the picture: standard, saturated, soft, black and white from those preset in the camera. Or upload your own from the map. Colors in jpeg will be immediately improved to taste. A 24-megapixel sensor without a low-pass filter provides high detail, sharpness and image contrast. Although it may show that there are too many pixels. ISO working up to about 400. Acceptable at 800 and 1600 - here you need to press the noise in the RAW convector. Even higher at 3200, and even more so at 6400, the noise is suppressed very aggressively and traces remain even after the RAW convector. But for social networks, pictures will pull. Cons below: Unsealed body. With frequent change of lenses, and I change lenses often, including in the field, the matrix quickly becomes clogged with dust. I'm not even talking about moisture protection. I try not to use it during light rains. Small memory buffer. Now I'm shooting RAW + jpeg and the buffer fills up just quickly - literally in three to five frames. And then for a long, very long time, it processes the pictures and writes them to the memory card. Stupid autofocus. Does not have time to focus when the subject moves quickly, for example, when shooting sports. And because it happens that blocks the shutter release. Sometimes in the most interesting place. But that's only when shooting sports and fast moving subjects like a bird flying straight at you. The lack of full-fledged HDR and bracketing is not a disadvantage. I'm fine without them. The lack of a screwdriver causes inconvenience, since the exposure metering function does not work with manual Soviet lenses. A bit inconvenient - because in this case you have to catch the exposure with sighting frames, viewing them on the screen. Although probably. Not many people will install manual optics on this camera. Also, autofocus does not work on Nikon D3300 on older lenses without a focus motor. There is a screwdriver in the 3400 model, but it costs several thousand more. I decided to spend the delta on accessories.
