About the Nikon D3400 DSLR Body

The Nikon D3400 is a compact, beginner-friendly DSLR built around a 24.2-megapixel DX-format (APS-C) sensor, which is far larger than a phone or compact camera sensor for cleaner low-light images and natural background blur. It records Full HD 1080p video at 60, 50, 30, 25 and 24fps, and its EN-EL14a battery is rated for around 1200 shots per charge. The 11-point autofocus system and 5 frames-per-second continuous shooting handle everyday subjects and family action. This listing is for the camera body only, so you can pair it with any Nikon F-mount lens you already own or choose one separately. It is a straightforward, reliable choice for learning photography.
