Review of new camera Nikon D3400

Nikon D3xxx – the family of entry-level SLR cameras from the world famous Japanese manufacturer. New camera Nikon D3400 review – novelty, which in its capabilities almost caught up with the more advanced Nikon camera last years.

VIDEO REVIEW AND TEST NEW SLR CAMERAS NIKON D3400:

Market entry-SLR cameras, and amateur level today is a rather strange state. On the one hand, it decreases – replacing mirrorless cameras and smartphones. On the other – this is what contributes to a decrease in his “cleansing” of harmful and unwanted impurities.

However, in contrast to its closest competitor, Nikon DSLRs among this too much and it was so small. Models were divided into several segments: D3xxx – beginner level, D5xxx – a little more advanced, D7xxx – already a serious amateur, you can even say, a semi-professional level (photos taken on Nikon D7000 / D7100 can often be seen on any photo exhibitions).

Differences between D3xxx and D5xxx always been minimal. Slightly smaller functions, the lack of a rotary screen. In addition, D3xxx were available not only in black but dark red – a sort of female version.

Today opposed D3400 to D5600 – also a novelty. Matrix cameras are practically the same (although, according to the technical data are not identical), but functions in D3400 is still a little less. Or even that you can say: opportunities for fine-tuning in less than D3400. The differences between the models we have brought to the table below.

As can be seen from the table that really functions and features at D3400 slightly less than the D5600, but the first camera somehow larger. Although easier. Even with the rotary screen (diagonal and resolution which is higher than the low-end model), D5600 is slightly smaller.

SO FAR STILL THE YOUNGEST MODEL VIABLE?

Here acutely raises the question of price. When the market at the same time attended the D3000 and the D5000. In similar differences could advise just to add a bit of money and buy an older model. Now D5600 is nearly twice as expensive, and that’s not “add a little bit of money.” Rather, the question is different – for some of the functions D5600 you are ready to overpay?

BUILT-IN FLASH CAMERA NIKON D3400 REVIEW

When compared to the older D7200, the difference is not that already in function, and in the quality of shooting. There overpayment more understandable. Here is a rather odd bridge D5600 – D3400 features if you little and you need higher quality, better to take the D7200, no matter how much had to overpay. Or even take a full-frame camera, though amateur segment.

APPEARANCE: CAMERA NIKON D3400 REVIEW

The camera Nikon D3400 review itself looks like a typical camera is the Nikon, although it has smaller dimensions than D7xxxx model, for example.

CONTROLS CAMERA NIKON D3400 REVIEW

In did not save administration although lower wheel with the “OK” button in the middle is not spinning, as you’d expect (in Sony cameras, Olympus similar spinning wheel, in addition to the arrow keys up / down / left / right).

All the main functions are on their own button, plus there is one programmable button Fn – for some reason on the front of the camera.

Screen, unlike D5600 model, is not turning, but it is very bright and the menu traditionally friendly and compact, at the same time endowed with multiple functions – even process the RAW-file, you can directly on the camera.

The memory card is inserted into the side – this is useful when you work with a tripod
Profiles on the upper wheel are arranged in favor of automatic shooting – affects the positioning of the model. Many scenes can be selected simply by turning the wheel, programmable mode (for user settings) no. Traditional modes PASM – present.

LENS: CAMERA NIKON D3400 REVIEW

Whale version of camera Nikon D3400 review is equipped with lens 18-55 / 3.5-5.6. It is worth noting that this is not the same lens with similar characteristics, which were completed with the entry-level Nikon cameras a few years ago.
First, the lens does not rotate the front lens. This means that nothing will stop the use of polarizing filters.

LENS UNLOCK BUTTON

Second, the lens is made collapsible – as it is now fashionable to do in the SLR. it needs to use the pre-chamber to push the minimum position by clicking on the zoom and rotating to 18 mm.

Quality whale shooting Nikon lenses have always been a little higher than that of competitors whale lenses and in this sense the new 18-55 we particularly liked. Especially as other lenses to the test, we have not provided.

THE CAMERA WORK: CAMERA NIKON D3400 REVIEW

Filming on the camera Nikon D3400 review, we generally liked, although it should be noted deficiencies “brand» Nikon color. This applies, however, not only of the D3400, and in general almost any SLR camera of the manufacturer, including professional. As always, the views in all weather conditions look very juicy and attractive, but when shooting portraits from nowhere appearing redness (and purple shades) can not escape. To bring color back to normal persons will have to sweat in the graphic editors. A little smooth redness is built automatically portrait mode, but it forces the flash, which sometimes can lead to significant overexposure on the face.

But what is commendable in the D3400 – teamwork array, a stabilizer and camera processor. In all cases, we shot with it and have not noticed a serious shake, although it should be prepared for noise – the camera without problems in the automatic mode switches, including on ISO 25600. the kit lens can not boast a large aperture – and it shows. Although, on the ISO 25600 we expected more “scary” picture.

Of course, one could say that the top-end smartphones do not shoot much worse, but there is a nuance – D3400 even whale lens shows beautiful bokeh – that even with all smartphones and never dreamed of. Plus, the dynamic range of the D3400 is still higher than that of a typical smartphone or soap dish (more room for maneuver when processing RAW), let herself Automatic cameras and prone to underexposure.

As for the video, then the video shooting Nikon cameras have always been a weak link, although steps for its improvement and efforts. In particular, D3400 is able to capture video in 1080 / 60p, the quality very decent, but could not fully overcome the effect of Rolling Shutter, and refocusing while filming takes place slowly and with frequent misses. Plus, will have to put up with the lack of connector for an external microphone.

IN TOTAL: CAMERA NIKON D3400 REVIEW

New camera Nikon D3400 review – a good entry-level SLR camera for those who, on the one hand, the need still SLR cameras, on the other – does not go speech about professional photography. Given that the camera about the size comparable to Panasonic and Olympus, Nikon D3400 camera can be called the preferred option when choosing between SLR, if you spend a lot of money do not want to.

However, if you need a video shooting – that it is better to choose something else, D3400 handle the video is worse than the smartphone for the same price (except optical zoom lens whale might be useful).

Also, if you like to shoot people, not landscapes – recommend a closer look at Sony or Canon products. But for shooting nature camera Nikon D3400 review perfectly suitable, given the good performance even with it in low light conditions.
