Also makes the competition D5300

The D3300 is a little sister of D5300 and is an entry-level DSLR.
This is my third Nikon DSLR and the first from the Einstieger area. I must say that the D3300 has pleasantly surprised me. The given at the beginning of skepticism has now disappeared. This camera can also hang loose with the D5300, because they
- Almost the same high resolution delivers
Can record video with 60fps -
- Has the accustomed good Nikon processing
- Accommodates beautiful, color fidelity images
- Has a more compact new kit lens
- Has the same battery life

I would especially like to note the good depth of focus Macro photography and beautiful contrast and simultaneously fidelity colors. Possibly has it thanks to the new model of kit lens for the most part.

Of course, because the D3300 is the little sister, there are things that one is looking at her in direct comparison with the D5300 in vain:
- Only 11 instead of 39 focus points (here is a similar focus as the D5100)
- No folding screen
- No WiFi and no GPS - whether they really need?

I am of the opinion that the D3300 is a good alternative to D5300. For those who are looking for a cheaper DSLR and imagine it can (primarily for remote triggering via a smartphone app) to dispense and folding screen on GPS (geotagging), Wi-Fi, this camera is in any case worth considering.
