A good product, more pros than cons.

I got it with the AF-P 18-55 VR lens, I didn’t regret it, the lens for the street is excellent, autofocus is fast and silent, it helps a lot when shooting video, there is something to compare with. I thought about buying another lens, better and brighter, but I realized that later I’ll buy the D 600 for photos, and leave the D 3300 for video. And it’s not so a pity to take it with you everywhere, and the image quality is enough for everyday use.

Pros

Small size and weight, all the same, sometimes they are also important. Excellent image quality, only autofocus misses. Silent lens motor, fast focusing with AF-P 18-55 VR lens. High available ISO values, many shooting modes. The resolution of the photo is quite enough, the pictures, if you get to the point, are very sharp, no worse with the D 800. Works well with my old Sigma EF 500 flash. The stabilizer helps, although it is turned on through the menu.

Cons

I understand that the price corresponds to the offer, but the upper display is terribly lacking, I previously used the D 80 and my father's D800. There are also few buttons, I would like to quickly control ISO, etc. Could not work with 50 1.8 even in manual mode. I would like more autonomy, the new D 3400 seems to have a larger battery, but you should not overpay. USB non-standard. No lens hood included. The lens mount is plastic, but if you do not change it often, I think there will be no problems.
