About this model
The Nikon D3300 is a compact, lightweight entry-level DSLR with a 24.2-megapixel DX-format (APS-C) sensor. Unusually for its class, the sensor has no optical low-pass filter, helping it capture fine detail. It offers an easy-to-follow Guide Mode for beginners, Full HD video up to 1080p at 60 frames per second, and continuous shooting at 5 frames per second. The 11-point autofocus system and 3-inch LCD keep operation straightforward. 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 uses the EN-EL14a battery and SD/SDHC/SDXC cards.
