While we no longer rent this product, we do carry the Nikon D3500. You may also find alternatives in the Recommended section on the left-hand side of this page.
The Nikon D3400 is a high-resolution, entry-level DSLR and the predecessor to the Nikon D3500. Key features include:
High-Resolution Sensor. The D3400 houses a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor that lacks an optical low-pass filter, providing sharper images at the expense of possible moiré. It has a normal ISO range of 100-25,600. The 5 fps continuous frame rate is useful for shooting your kid’s sporting events, but you’d be hard-pressed to push it much more.
Full HD Video. You can record at 1080/60p in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format, with subject-tracking continuous autofocus. There’s a built-in stereo mic for quick and easy audio recording, but there’s no external mic input.
User-Friendly Controls. The simple-to-use Guide Mode is carried over from previous generations, making novice users feel at home. This camera’s settings and adjustments are simple to understand—it boasts multiple automated modes for beginners and full manual control for those who want to delve deeper. The large 3.0-inch 921K rear LCD is great for still and video composition.
SnapBridge Connectivity. With a SnapBridge Bluetooth connection, you can share 2MP images from the D3400 directly to a smartphone. With support for up to five unique devices, it’s fast and easy to transfer and share photos.
