![Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Nikkor Zoom Lens Bulk packaging (White box, New)](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71FcMEC7XGL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I purchased this in 2020 as an "entry-level" DSLR, but four years later, it's still the model I reach for most frequently. It's beginner-friendly but it's also an excellent camera in its own right, and the only other cameras I've purchased since are niche vintage models. My experience with this camera has not influenced me to seek out other DSLR makers or other Nikon models; it's a completely lovely daily-driver.
The default lens that comes with it is incredibly versatile, and Nikon (in addition to several other manufacturers) makes many excellent lenses that are suitable for this model.
I'm not a professional, and I primarily shoot food, portraits, and landscapes. In case it's useful, my most-often-used lenses for this camera are:
- Nikon 85mm f/3.5G AF-S DX Micro ED (VR-II)
- NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-P DX VR
- Nikon AF S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Fixed lens with AF

From the manufacturer
Welcome to photography.
Before the D3400, you chose your smartphone camera for convenience. Zooming was clumsy. Shooting in low light was nearly impossible. Capturing fast action was a game of luck. But after the D3400, you'll see that you were compromising image quality. That some of the greatest photos happen when the light is low. That fast action can be frozen in perfect clarity. And that a camera and a smartphone can work together in harmony to make the photos you share absolutely amazing.

|
|
|---|---|---|
Stunning simplicityPhotos and videos captured with the D3400 and a superb NIKKOR lens are as vibrant and lifelike as the moments they preserve. Shoot in extremely low light without a problem. Freeze fast-action in its tracks. Create portraits with rich, natural skin tones and beautifully blurred backgrounds. The photos you share will amaze everyone—even yourself. |
Breathtaking image quality24.2MP sensor with no optical low-pass filter. Flawless low-light photos. Native ISO range from 100–25,600. The speed to freeze time. Expeed 4 image processing. Always connected. Nikon SnapBridge connectivity. |
Nikon SnapBridgeSnapBridge has changed the way cameras and smartphones work together—and only Nikon has it. Take a picture with the D3400 and it's automatically transferred to your compatible smartphone or tablet, ready to share. SnapBridge works seamlessly with Nikon Image Space, a cloud storage and sharing site, to back-up your photos and to help you create and share albums with your friends and family. The future of photo sharing is here. |

The bright optical viewfinder provides a sharp, glare-free view of the world, and the comfortable grip enables precise handling. |
The gateway to better photographyThe D3400 makes photography easy and fun, freeing you to focus on your natural talents—framing great shots, anticipating special moments and finding unique perspectives in everyday scenes. As your abilities grow (and they will grow) you can take complete creative control of the D3400. |

|---|---|---|
Capture the sights and soundsAt the touch of a button, the D3400 records dazzling 1080/60p Full HD video. Nikon's new AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens uses a stepping motor for smooth and quiet autofocusing, so only the sounds of the moment are recorded with D3400's internal mic. Create time-lapse videos, ultra-smooth slow motion sequences and more. |
Catch every momentPress and hold the D3400's shutter button and capture 5 FPS continuously with full autofocus performance. Transform a moment of fast action into a thrilling photo sequence, then share it through SnapBridge for all to see. |
Focus on the detailsNikon cameras have some of the finest autofocus systems available. The D3400's AF system quickly acquires your subject and provides precise focus, even during high-speed shooting and low-light situations. |

The only thing that I would recommend is to include a memory card with each camera because it’s such a bummer when you’re excited to try your new camera but you can’t take photos because there’s no memory.

Pro:
-La calidad en materiales y su estética es buena, te hace sentir profesional.
-Las fotos y vídeo, salen excelente parece que eres un profesional, los colores y las fotos son vibrantes
-Tiene protector para su lente y una correa para ponértela en el cuello
-La batería dura mucho podrás traerla en tu evento o fiesta y durara todo el tiempo sin problemas, la he tenido sin cargar casi una semana,uso moderado.
-Tiene modo novato y modo profesional en sus opciones
-Tiene conexión a la app snapbridge la cual permite enviar las fotos que tomas en ese instante a tu celular, sin cables, sin nada, automáticamente lo hará.
Contra:
-No es una cámara ligera, dada sus virtudes es una cámara algo semi-profesional, por tanto es pesada en cierto punto.
-Es grande, si no te importa la calidad de la foto o te gusta ser discreto, esta no es tu cámara, esta cámara es para tomarte una sesion de fotos , irte de vacaciones como turista y tomar fotos espectaculares, pero traerla en un evento social con tus amigos podría ser estorboso.
-Snapbridge, solo funciona enviado FOTOGRAFICAS el VIDEO no se puede pasar, gran falla!! Tienes que conectar la microsd ala PC, es un punto de mejora.
-Puede ser tedioso en ocasiones vincular la cámara con la app
Conclusión:
Es una excelente cámara semi-profesional, tiene buena calidad para un usuario buscando unas buenas fotos para sus viajes o eventos formales (bodas,eventos familiares,graduaciones) esta es tu cámara, sin mas ni menos. Si eres un usuario buscando ser profesional, esta solo seria el inicio. si eres un usuario de fiestas sociales con amigos, parrilladas , antros y asi , mejor una cámara digital o tu mismo celular.
GRAN CAMARA!!
