Nikon D3300 | 24.2MP Beginner-Friendly DSLR Camera

The Nikon D3300 is the camera for anyone who has ever looked at a beautiful photograph and thought, “I wish I knew how to do that.”

You can.

Released in 2014, the Nikon D3300 was designed to make the first step into photography feel exciting instead of intimidating. It's wonderful Guide Mode teaches you how to create the photograph you have in mind, its automatic settings make it easy to start immediately, and its comfortable grip and clear optical viewfinder give you the unmistakable feeling of using a real camera.

But easy does not mean limited.

Behind all that beginner-friendly guidance is a genuinely excellent 24.2-megapixel Nikon DX sensor, interchangeable NIKKOR lenses, RAW photography, full manual exposure, an 11-point autofocus system, five-frame-per-second shooting, and Full HD video. Start by letting the D3300 make the decisions. Then learn what those decisions mean. Eventually, make every one of them yourself.

This is not a camera you buy only to discover whether you like photography.

It is a camera you can learn on, travel with, experiment with, take to class, build a lens collection around, and keep using long after “beginner” no longer describes you.
