    A better camera than 99% of shooters out there.

    • syousef on 30/03/2017 - 16:38

      Ugh.

      A camera is a tool. How do you compare a camera to a photographer?

      As for the tool it depends on what you're shooting. If you used a D3400 to shoot sports when you had a better option I'd say you have rocks in your head. For landscapes the camera would do almost as well as something much more expensive. For a beginner who's just starting to get into photography and isn't photo mad it's great. But use it for the things it works best for.

      • dasher86 on 30/03/2017 - 16:51

        you compare a camera to a photographer by giving the photographer different cameras and comparing like shots.

        • syousef on 30/03/2017 - 17:01
          +5

          Unless you gave the photographer time to get use to the equipment that would be a worthless comparison.

          There were some great photographers who were very much wedded to their gear.

          I shoot Nikon (D7100, D7200) and Canon (600D, 700D) and I can tell you even though I know how to use both systems, they behave differently enough that I have to be careful and am sometimes caught out by the Canon gear, which I use as my "holiday" camera. I blew out a good couple of dozen shots on the 700D on my last holiday (out of perhaps 6000 pictures, so it wasn't terrible). In particular the way auto-ISO affects exposure is wildly different.

          The controls are also located differently and there are unique settings on each that can have a very dramatic effect on the final image. And they have different quirks. (I find the 700D locks up occasionally and needs the battery pulled for instance and on one occasion the eye sensor stopped working and only came good after resetting the camera). Given that I had gone months without using the Canon it wasn't such a surprise that I had to familiarize myself with the controls (especially focus points) and custom settings menu.

          Furthermore the cameras have different strengths and weaknesses. I'd rather shoot video on the Canon if I did that much and the articulating screen makes it better for family selfies without using additional screens.

          So am I a good photographer shooting Nikon and a bad photographer shooting Canon? No I'm just less familiar with the Canon and the cameras have different strengths and weaknesses.

          @syousef: If you are spending your holiday taking 6000 photos, you really need to reconsider what a holiday is. It's not something you should observe through a viewfinder. Might as well just google the destination and look at someone else's photos.

          @thorton82:

          Thanks for the concern, but there were some days I didn't even use the camera. 500 photos a day on average isn't very much at all. I'm guessing your the sort of photog that takes their time setting up a shot etc. I tend to shoot things that move quite a bit, so I'll take bursts often and in some cases, especially with wildlief, you never know what you're going to get till you've shot it. When you own cameras the shoot 5fps I might shoot 500 watching a dolphin show. I've shot 6000+ photos in a single day at an airshow.

If the camera didn't matter at all pro photographers would be out there shooting with entry level cameras.

      Yeah you're right, a good picture is ultimately up to the skill of the photographer, not the gear used. However, that doesn't mean the camera from your phone, or a disposable film camera is right for everyone. Just because it's enough for you, great.

      The more you spend on a body is to utilise the higher resolutions (eg 42mp sony a7r ii, 50mp Canon 5DS, 50/100mp hasselblad/phase one, etc), or to utilise faster shutter speeds (eg Canon 7D, Canon 1D series, Nikon D500, Nikon D5, Sony a7S, etc), to utilise better low light performance when pushing ISO limits, to utilise higher res video with higher framerates, dynamic range, colour reproduction from the sensor, etc.

      And then we come to lenses, why spend so much on a lens? There's a variety of reasons. Maybe you want to take pictures of a far subject (where you can't get get closer for whatever reason). Or want to get in really really wide shots in cramped spaces. Better glass means sharper images, which is a must for the higher megapixel censors. Or maybe you want faster/quieter autofocus. Or maybe you want the lens to let in more light. Or maybe better image stabilisation. Take your pick.

    Really worth it? I've been searching for a camera for my wife for her birthday and next month our baby boy is due (first one) so was going to suprise her with this.

    Opinions greatly appreciated :) Wanted to not spend over $500 so this definitely ticks the boxes.

    • mafmouf on 30/03/2017 - 15:07
      +1

      Will she be using it a lot? Cus these cameras are kinda bulky, esp if you take around multiple lenses.

      I got the D3100 ages ago for my partner and she was happy with it. She really only used it for auto mode, but I used manual a little which was fun.

      Note this kit only has the single lens. I regret not getting the 75-200mm (or something like that) as part of the twin lens kit.

      If your wife is just getting into photography and may not use it all the time, this could be a really good option. Some people prefer the much smaller mirrorless ones though. Maybe scope out a camera store and take a few pics to get a better idea.

      • 2stroksmokr on 30/03/2017 - 15:10

        Thanks for the reply, I've bought a farm so she'll just be taking photos here of the scenery and animals. Main goal was for her to take photos of the new born as she's totally obsessed.

        For the price its very cheap, she prefers the bigger ones so this fits the criteria.

        • mafmouf on 30/03/2017 - 15:11

          It seems like a good entry point for your wife. Take the plunge I guess. The camera isn't by any means bad, I was more concerned about how she would be carrying it around and using it. You'll definitely get good baby shots!

        • harkoliar on 31/03/2017 - 07:46

          I was going to suggest mirror less camera's to take with you traveling. Having a new born means you have quite a few things bringing around and camera gear is at the bottom of my list normally. I have two entry levels, one is d3300 and other is canon Eos m10. I normally use my m10 more for travel and casual occasions and bring out my Nikon on special occasions only because of the bulkiness. (got 3 lenses and speedlite on it)

          But if your wife is happy with the big cameras by all means go for it. It's a good price. Not the best price but its still a decent deal.

    • dm01 on 30/03/2017 - 15:08

      These are a highly capable camera and definitely worth considering. Being a DSLR, it's bigger than a compact camera, but as long as your wife isn't likely to mind the size, I'd say go for it.

      While this is big compared to mirrorless cameras, it isnt BIG compared to other dslr.

      for $400 I think this camera will do more then most casual photographer require. and it will certainly take nicer photos than most compact cameras or phones.

      In a nutshell, it is not a lot of money to spend to explore if she likes photography

    I have the Nikon D3300 with the 35mm fixed AF-S lens (Food) and a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens (Landscape) and absolutely love it!
    This was purchased for $500 with the same 18-55mm kit lens, so this looks to be an amazing deal. The kit lens however is handy, but you will find that there are better lenses out there and it will sit around collecting dust.

    The camera is perfect for beginners and depending on the intended use, can achieve really good results.

    Below are shots I have taken with the D3300. Note that Instagram reduses the quality of the pictures:

    For anyone confused about the cashback offer

    First of all, the cashback link is located near the bottom of the item listing page on the Harvey Norman website under "Terms and conditions".

    Second, on the Nikon redeem page you can't select D3400. I Asked a Harvey Normal representative who looked into it and told me the cashback offer will be available for the D3400 from April 1st. I purchased the camera today and will check the Nikon website on Saturday to apply for the $50 cashback.

    If it doesn't work Harvey Normal will have some explaining to do but I'm sure it will, they clearly state the cashback offer on the item listing on their website.

      Despite your 40 years of being a "pro", you're giving poor advice here. The kit lens is perfectly fine for the the people targeted for an entry level DSLR, and the inclusion of 35mm or 50mm prime lens makes it a very flexible little kit.

      And "Getting a few lenses and then changing lenses is a real pain" certainly doesn't sound like the talk of a professional - takes me all of a few seconds to switch lenses on my systems.

      • BuyoTheCat on 30/03/2017 - 17:26

        abacus has certainly valid points. something like a 18-200mm is what I usually recommend for beginners.

        However this can be explored later.

          Thanks for the support, I won't be wasting my time commenting again. I agree a zoom starting at 18 is much better than 24 which is not always wide enough. I should have mentioned the 18-200 instead. I bought the 24-105 f4 as a semi professional cheaper lens than getting two bodies and then the 24-70 and 70-200 2.8s which is what most professionals carry around with them because as I said it's a pain to swap leneses. I have the 18-55 on a cheap Nikon and it's really bad without much range if you want to zoom in on a child etc. Can't compare to the 24-105 f4. Thanks anyway.

      @abacus: You are advising beginners to buy FX lenses for DX cameras? Great "Pro" advice…!

    • zorrt on 30/03/2017 - 20:19
      +2

      18-55mm is a close equivalent to 24-70mm which is a popular choice for FF and that 18-55 is in no way crap. Also why is a 35mm prime for normal use bad advice? I'm a beginner and my 35mm almost always stays on my body and only gets swapped out if I'm planning on shooting something specific. In a way it's better to be restricted to shooting a single focal length since you plan a bit more.

      24-105 will be good as a travel lens since you don't need to change lens but doesn't mean no other lens should matter.

      • syousef on 30/03/2017 - 21:19

        I agree the 18-55 lenses these days are very good, and while they have limitations - especially the slower kit lenses - they can be used to great effect in a lot of the kind of everyday shooting the beginner DSLR user tends to do.

        That said they teach you very little about optical zoom/focal length. In particular I know a lot of people who should but don't understand angle of view and background compression. You also don't learn how to use a fast enough shutter at longer focal lengths. You also don't learn about isolating the subject and nailing focus if you can never get a shallow depth of field. So you can get very sloppy without knowing you have an issue.

        The trouble with the primes is all of the above (except subject isolation) plus sometimes you can't move to frame the shot as you like…especially indoors.

        You can learn to take a good photo with any lens. But you can't learn what kinds of photography you like most if your lens isn't suited to that style of photography.

        I think the 18-105, 18-135 and 18-140 lenses tend to be a good compromise rather than the 24-105 on an APS-C camera. The Canon 18-135 STM is great if you can handle dealing with the extreme CA in post. The Nikon 18-140 is suppose to be very good too but I've never owned one. I grew up with the Nikon 18-70DX and it's still my walkaround lens and short lens of choice BUT I don't shoot it wide open.

          I wonder how anyone learned anything about taking photos in the days before we had superzoom lenses…

          Try this for an alternative point of view: The trouble with superzoom lenses (24-120, 18-200…whatever) is that they teach you to be lazy when framing a shot - not need to move closer or further away from your subject…just turn the zoom ring and let the lens do the work. No need to use your feet to go hunting for a shot.

          Their optical quality tends to be worse than lenses with a more restricted zoom range (or primes) due to the comprises that need to be made in order to cover such a wide range, plus they also tend to have narrower aperture ranges ranges, along with the compromises that can bring.

          The lens that opened my eyes most to the possibilities of photography when I was starting out was a Nikon 50mm 1.8 - I would strongly recommend anyone starting out with an ILC to grab a prime lens in that range to go along with their kit zoom.

          @dm01:

          If you don't know the difference between changing the focal length and moving closer or further from a subject, you shouldn't be calling people lazy. Zooming with a zoom lens is not the same as stepping back and forth with your feet AT ALL. It will NOT give you the same picture.

          http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/how-focal-length-affects-…

          I can get better subject isolation with a 70-200 2.8 than your 50mm 1.8. I can also get more pixels on a smaller subject from further away. Think about birding. You don't always have the luxury of moving right up to a bird without it flying away.

          Superzooms are an excellent teaching tool. The problem is the image quality is not as good as a zoom that doesn't cover as large a range. If you pixel peep, print large, or crop you will quickly become unsatisfied with that.

          The 50mm 1.8 are good lenses and worth having. I have had both a G and D version of the Nikon and the non-STM and STM on the Canon side. The newer lenses are definitely better for sharpness wide open or close to it. I'd actually rate the Canon STM slightly better to work with. I really like them but don't use them anywhere near as much as my zooms. On the other hand if I want to take wide field astro photos my zoom lenses are worthless compared to the 50s. The 50s are also great for shooting hand held in low light indoors. The right tool for the job is important. I don't know why people use them for a walk around lens in good light when a zoom is much more versatile.

          @dm01:

          And if that link was too theoretical for you here's a solid problem that you can solve with an xx-200 or xx-300 zoom that you can't with a 50 1.8.

          I want to take pictures of my friend who is visiting from overseas. He's in Sydney across the harbour from the Opera House on the foreshore. I use a 50 1.8 and notice that the Opera House is tiny in the background. If I step back or forth I'm not changing my distance to the Opera House very much as a percentage so it doesn't get much bigger or smaller in the frame. I can make my friend's head smaller by stepping back from him, but the picture I want is a headshot with the Opera House about the same size as his head. If I stepped right back and cropped the image the quality would be awful.

          With a 70-200, I zoom in on the Opera House until it fills half the frame, then I step back until his head fills the other half. If there's enough light I can control how in focus the Opera House is with the aperture.

          I haven't misunderstood your point at all. It is just that my opinion is that you are completely wrong. "Zoom with your feet" should be a phrase that gets you thrown out of camera clubs!

    I've got the D3300 (the previous model) and it's a great camera.

    Cheapest DSLR camera to shoot 1080p at 60FPS!

    So I took 10 minutes to write a comment to help budding photographers and got negged so my comment disappeared. I wrote it thinking it would be helpful and I could have been doing others things instead. Perhaps write why you disagree instead of negging the comment so that people can read it and make their own decisions. I certainly won't be making anymore comments on ozbargain as this has happened a few times now.

      welcome to the interweb!

      maybe if you backed it up with some photos, it would have helped your cause…
      you can still do it!

    Just chatted to Harvey Norman Support Agent online this morning, this was what said:

    "Harvey norman had a exclusive offer where we could claim earlier, Nikon has informed us that they would be updating the site today"

    A question for existing owners of the D3400 or D3300.

    It appears that outside of Australia, Nikon includes the VR (Vibration Reduction) version of the 18-55mm lens in the D3400 kit (AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR), whereas the AU version comes with the non-VR lense (AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G). The previous D3300 model came with a VR lens in the kit.

    I am interested to hear the thoughts of any existing owners as to their experience with and with-out VR / Image Stabilisation.

    Press release covering the two versions of the lens is here.

  • desafinado74 on 31/03/2017 - 09:51

    Although i already have a mirrorless camera (Olympus EPL8 )and an old Nikon DSLR (D70)
    i am very tempted to pick this one up.

    I had a look at the Nikon redeem link above, and i could not find the D3400 under the Nikon Model option.
    Just things such as KeyMission 360 etc,,,,am i looking at the wrong place ??

    Mirrorless is way better. With the lens on mirrorless cameras are already big enough. You see these dorks rocking these huge dslr cameras with massive lenses you think to yourself you should on centre court at the tennis not friggen taking a photo of a koala at the zoo.
