I bought as an introduction to the world of digital SLR photography, the camera and am very satisfied. There are enough professional reviews different. Magazine, so I like to describe just my subjective impression / can. Basically, I recommend anyone to create a list before buying what he needs and what is not. Personally, I've been looking for the smallest possible u. Handy camera, which is technically up to date. I need eg also no movie function. I always take pictures using the viewfinder, if necessary with an angle finder. I do not need swiveling monitor u. No touchscreen. Also, it does not bother me to transfer my data to a cable. To criticize is to me personally that the camera bietet- only a narrow range of diopter adjustment here, I was forced to purchase a corrective lens. For me incomprehensible is the fact that it is the eyepiece no longer it fits (hence -1 Stern). Since I am just breaking in in Available Light-u. Night photography and HDR, I consider it a limitation that the "AE bracketing" is missing. Here handwork is required, or a bracketing manually created. For me, the auto exposure bracketing actually belongs to the basic equipment. The pictures are great and satisfy my needs. Had planned so that I have a "favorable" Body with Kitobjektiv earn and invest the money saved in bright fixed focal lengths my purchases. Further reductions have to make autofocus compared to the more expensive cameras in the area. Personally, I get along well with the existing AF. But he who loves eg sports photography or any other reason requires a better AF system, should consider to dig deeper into their pockets. A stop-down and a mirror lock would have been nice ... But it is the least expensive camera in this segment. Overall, the Nikon D3300 offers a lot of bang for their buck. If you are experienced and stays with the hobby, you can still upgrade. Ultimately makes a beginner with a mid-range camera probably no better pictures. Before buying you should still consider having comes with ergometry cope.
