    I am used to canon so it was a little tricky adjusting to how to adjust aperture and f-stop and all...but after that it was wonderful

    I didn't like this camera, because you had to manually focus in and out with your hand. I wanted auto focus.

    Great Ultra Light DSLR Camera

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Ken Rockwell, a noted pro photographer, writes on his website that the Nikon D3300 can take photos that equal photos from pro cameras selling for five times its price. And, it is one of the lightest DSLR cameras so it is easy to carry with you. Yes, it is twice the size and weight of a "Mini Zoom" camera, but half the weight of a pro DSLR. Carrying just 24 ounces feels much better than 48 ounces after an hour or two. The D3300 takes good photos in auto mode but you can take even better photos after studying Ken Rockwell's online manual for the D3300 which shows how to dial in the best brightness level, color balance, contrast and saturation. The zoom lens cover the range from a wide angle 28mm to include the whole family around the birthday cake and then zoom in to 85mm which is ideal for a head and shoulders portrait. The VR vibration reduction feature enables my old and rather shaky hands to get sharp photos indoors without needing the flash. The 24 megapixel sensor enables you to make a nice 8 x 10 print using just 20% of the original image. You can take a photo that shows both the pitcher and the batter and crop it to show only the pitcher. The ability to crop and enlarge a small portion of the image enables you to take closeups with the 85mm range of the zoom that provide a final image similar to a 300mm zoom lens. The associate at Best Buy was helpful in selecting the right SDHC memory card, a UV filter to protect the lens and a light weight compact case.

    Although this is one of Best Buy's cheaper versions, there's always more you can learn. Just because a camera doesn't have a lot of knobs and screws on it, doesn't mean you can't learn how. If you are going to make an investment, make it on one that takes time. That's how you get your moneys worth.

    Pretty cool camera but if you are cluless about a camera do not get this one. If you are expecting to Zoom in or zoom oit with just one button , this is not the one that you are looking for. You can get the same picture quality with a cheaper one

      Nikon does not make any DSLR lenses that have a power zoom feature. DSLR lenses will generally zoom by rotating the zoom ring on the lens.

      The D3300 is Nikon's current entry-level DSLR and is ideal for photographers that are interested in getting into DSLR photography. For beginners, the D3300 features a Guide Mode that offers instructions on how to use the camera's features. Please see your camera manual for more information on using the D3300's Guide Mode. Nikon
