Was on the edge with getting a smart camera but this camera was super easy and beginner friendly. It's got the quick menu where you tell it what you're trying to capture and it sets the camera up for you. Love both lens

My wife and I just got back from a two week vacation in the state of Washington. Since we both love to take pictures of our travels, we bought a D3400 Kit for each of us! The pictures are excellent, the weight of the camera and lenses in cases were fairly light, and of course the price for the kit was very reasonable! After just a month of use, we are very satisfied customers of the D3400!!!

Let me preface this review with this is my first DSLR camera. I've only ever used point and shoot cameras before. I bought this camera for use during an upcoming Yellowstone Vacation. Since I am not a photographer and don't know anything about SLR cameras I used only settings I was familiar with from my point and shoot cameras. Using only the auto, scenery, action and macro settings I was able to take some amazing photographs. I found that using the 70-300mm lense I was able to get some amazing closeups of the animals at the park. The 18-55mm gave me some amazing shots of the scenery. I found myself wishing I had a telephoto lense that had a wider field of focus than the 70-300mm. Oh well. That's an opportunity for an upgrade :-). While swapping out lenses all the time was kind of a pain, my husband was very patient while he acted as my grip. All in all the camera delivered with ease of use for a newbie like me and performance with some beautiful photos.

Well worth the money for a beginner. Easy to use, easy to set up, we like the Bluetooth feature to send to social media. Highly recommended by me!

I couldn’t wait to try this camera once I charged the battery off I went got impressive pics of my dog it was great for outdoor activity
