A:AnswerIt is a great choice for a beginner camera, however, check out the Canon t6 or t6i for better video performance as Canon is known for better videography.
A:AnswerThis camera does come with a flash, as all DLSR's do. But it's just like having an iPhone coming with a flash, they all do. When you get further into photography, you will find that you may need to buy an individual flash depending on how you shoot. It is a good camera for a first time owner but I believe that if you are going to make an investment, the upgraded DLSR's are also well.
A:AnswerAs the D3300 does not have an autofocus motor built in - it will require lenses that have Nikon's Silent Wave Focus Motor built-in to it. Nikon denotes these lenses with an AF-S on the lens itself and in the product name. That being said, the lenses from your FM2 will attach to the camera. You, most likely, will need to only use Manual Exposure mode as well as not have any metering information.

A:AnswerI would go local and see if they will bundle it for you at the store, if not that at least call and see if a human at best buy online will do the bundle for you. all you have to do is ask....although the wifi bundle was available and my local store had all the items I had to tell them about it and they confirmed the wifi adapter was eligible for the $499.95 d3300 bundle. I see today it no longer shows on the website, it was there yesterday.
A:AnswerYou certainly can buy body only! Nikon Experts are only answering for what they do. They sell camera with 18-55mm lens. Nikon uses F mount lens. I purchased the AF-L 55-200mm lens from another manufacturer at a great price.
A:AnswerThe D3300 does not have the ability to take a still photo without ending movie recording. Pressing & holding the shutter-release button all the way down while recording will stop recording the and take a photo. It will then be necessary to press the movie-record button again to resume recording.
A:AnswerYes. The Nikon D3300 DSLR camera is capable of remote photography when using the optional ML-L3 remote control. This allows for reduced camera shake when taking a picture from a stable, level surface.
A:AnswerYes. I don't own the camera but I was specifically looking for this feature on DSLRs and saw the D3300 did have a mini stereo mic jack. It sits next to the USB and HDMI connectors.
I then downloaded the operators guide to read more about it. Unfortunately the guide does not cover any details on the function of the mic jack other than just confirming it has one.
I'd like to know specifically if the mic jack can be used to input music off an MP3 player while recording a video. And if so; the camera's external microphone would be muted when doing so.
