    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.

    This was suppose to be my backup camera on my trip to Mexico but I love so much that I have stoped using my Minolta 7d completely. It is so much lighter and easier to use.Faster focus and better picture quality. Highly recommend it.

    I absolutely love this camera. You can’t beat the image quality for the price. I initially bought the camera and it would just lay around in it’s case because I never had time to shoot until recently when I finally started to carve out a bit of time to shoot and realized just how amazing the camera works when used correctly. Safe to say I shoot pretty often now. I recommend getting a good reflector and learn a bit about light and the camera modes and have some fun. I do plan to buy an autofocus lens for an even better quality, but I love the 300mm for portrait photos and that natural bokeh effect just comes out breathtaking.

    I read many reviews on DSLR cameras before purchasing. I decided to go with this one as most of the viewers said the instructions were clear, the photos crisp etc. I am in love to say the least. So user friendly and the photos are amazing! Highly recommend.

    I'm only an amateur photographer but this camera takes beautiful pictures! The way it picks up light and shadows is amazing, and the pics are so crisp! The only negative is the battery life. In order to upload pics to my iPad via Bluetooth you have to keep the camera on which kills the battery. Otherwise I have no complaints! I love it!

    I have been a "CanonPhile" for many years, getting into friendly debates with my Nikon friends. But it is like the Apple/Android battle; they are both good products. Well, I took a chance (and advantage of a gift card and a great sale) to buy this Nikon camera from Best Buy. Don't hate me, Canon fans, but I LOVE it. As CEO of a public relations, I use photography a lot. It is easier to use than I had envisioned and the fact that my photos show up instantly on my iPhone has saved me a lot of time and aggravation!

    After years of countless point and shoot digitals and smartphone cameras I finally took a leap and bought my first DSLR. While it may look intimidating at first glance I have found it extremely easy to use and takes great pictures. I was finally able to get those great actions shots of my daughters softball game I always missed with the others. Great pictures-easy to use-GREAT CAMERA

    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

    I am loving my camera. It takes awesome pictures that I am going to treasure for the rest of my life. I only wish that it came with a better instruction guide. For a starter camera I thought it would give better explanations of what everything is and how to use it. Otherwise I am really happy with my purchase.

    I have long done both film and digital photography, but for a starter kit, THIS Nikon 3400 is simply aces. Yes, there are cameras with more bells and whistles, but this one meets just about every need I can think of that I might need. Sharp Nikon glass, good autofocus and smooth performing zoom lenses. I could not be happier with this purchase
