>>3170055I bought one 2 months ago. I'm up to 4,644 pics thus far. I'm still getting used to settings and lens and tubes. My problems with it are a few of the menus and how settings are setup. Some buttons could be positioned better, specifically the ones on the front. Switching lens and settings based on various factors is a slow business. I usually only photograph wildlife and still life. The former needing quick setting changes usually. That's just a learning curve and muscle memory.
The LCD screen is worthless in full sunshine, but you can brighten it up in settings and cup it with your hand if you need to. Video is limited to 30mins for 1 shot and you can't use the viewfinder for video mode, you have to press the Lv button and use the LCD. Turning all the setting to low power usage I can take about 1,200-1,500 photos between battery charges (a ton more than the D3300). It isn't weather proof, so get rain cover for it if you'll be in the rain.
You can get all manner of adapters for all other type of mount lens.
You can see some macro pics in this thread starting with this post:
>>3170754 I don't think there's another D3400 in that thread.
>>3170074>>3170081>>3170082I bought a D3400, 2 lens, battery, extension tubes, 95MB/s SDXC 256GB memory card, USB cord, HDMI cord, reverse kit, and camera bag for about $850. I bought the body and lens directly from Nikon and registered them. I'm saving up for a macro lens, better cleaning kit, Pelican case (last purchase), ring flash, extra battery, and teleconverter. I'm also looking for an eyepiece extension so I don't have to smash my face against the back of the camera. I may end up DIYing that though.
There's no way I'd be able to get a more expensive body.
>>3170129It is the lowest entry level DSLR you should get.
>>3170093Nice pic.
