Thanks, but I was talking about his level of professionalism that you talked about. His video was real helpful when compared to other popular camera review channels.
This was more than fun and entertaining (that too!), this was a great review! Whether someone agrees with your decisions or likes the camera or not, you were quick, methodical, interesting, information-packed, no-nonsense. You quickly and easily covered the basics and a bunch more. I especially liked the demos: vivid, illustrative, well placed. The venue was good for this, too. This is among the best handled reviews I've seen. Thanks for putting this together. Great job!
Wonderfully done!! Haven't had the pleasure of watching such a well done video in quite some time. Very professional, extremely informative, and quite entertaining! Thanks for all the info!
Ive praised this guy on another of his videos, but he is establishing himself as the benchmark on youtube for camera reviews. I think hes superb the way he summarises lots of detail about cameras into small speeches so he doesnt go on too much. Im actually looking for a camera that shoots 1080p @ 60fps and also has the ability to take quality photos, seems the 3300 could be a good choice. Anything else you could recommend against the 3300 ?
Nice entertaining straight forward review from a seriously lovely young man! So good to watch and listen to positive information without all the droning technical stuff that generally just makes my eyes glaze over :-) and also great to watch a reviewer who doesn't rely on sarcasm to get a point across ... ala the chaps on Digitalrevtv ...thanks for this review
Thank you so much for this video. I saw it in a Pawn shop here in Panamá for 170. It was always a dream to own a camera like this and now that I have seen this review, I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Wow, that was an amazing product review. I'm blown away. You and your team are fantastic. I just purchased my first SLR camera last week and yes, it's the NIKON D3300 (black) with an SB-700 Flash and WiFi adapter. I finally upgraded from my Pentax MX 35mm. Yes, I'm old school ;) I'm very excited about entering the world of digital photography finally and I know that I have a lot to learn. I couldn't grasp whether or not some of your great shots were from auto mode or whether you were using your manual technical proficiencies. You're obviously an expert. I assume it is a combination of both. Thank you for your great review of the camera. It is really helpful to a newbie like me. I've got a lot to learn over here in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada!!! All the best!
Fabulous video. I'm a total beginner so I'll probably watch it several more times to catch everything but even my first view was enormously helpful. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your stuff.
This was an awesome review and makes my recent purchase feel worth it! Thank you so much! Especially for stating that the "kit lenses" were worth it because a few camera snobs stated they aren't usually that good. Awesome review!
Great review Chris but after "that being said" ...why not do a comparison video of the nikon 3300 vs the Pentax k50?..since canon hasn't released any new entry level dslr...it would be nice to see someone show how good the Pentax entry level cameras compared to the so called "popular" brand ones out there.
I understand your comment about lack of an ISO button for anybody used to one; however, you should look into Nikon's Auto ISO feature (All Nikon DSLRs) -- basically you can set Min ISO, Max ISO 'AND' Minimum shutter speed. The camera takes care of all three aspects. So you can shoot in P or A mode and never have to worry about the shutter speed or ISO until light gets too low for the Max ISO+Min Shutter speed to be underexposing, only then would the Min Shutter drop below your set point (but it never raises ISO above your Max setting). Thanks.
You can certainly change ISO fast. On the side of the camera there is a button labeled Fn, this is a function button which can be set to do multiple things, by default it should be set to ISO settings. Just press the button and scroll the wheel to adjust the ISO, you can even see it while looking through the viewfinder.
Yes, you're right. I just tested the Fn button out on my new D3300 and it changes the ISO exactly like you said it would. I just got the camera a few days ago and I'm learning how to use my first DSLR. It's very cool. Thank you.
I have recently just acquired the Nikon D3300, and I am impressed with it. I know it doesn't have bracketing, but my Canon Powershot SX40 HS has it, and despite trying to understand and use the bracketing feature on that camera, I still don't fully understand what it is trying to do. So, I do not really miss it on this camera. And, of course, it had all of the filters, i.e. night scene, portrait, etc., which is what this camera has too. And, I never used that feature much on the Canon. I bought this camera as a introduction into the DSLR world to be a better photographer. As I said earlier, I am impressed with what I have gotten, no gripes or complaints. I've only had it since Christmas...lol But, in conclusion, if you want the HDR, and all that other stuff, then you are going to pay for it in a different camera. It depends on your needs, your wants, and what you want to pay for in order to those things. But, for my needs and my wants I'm happy with the Nikon D3300.
I am planning to buy the D5300(some details make me prefer it over D3300), but I am facing a dilemma when it comes to lenses. After some research I have ended up with these combinations. I would really appreciate your opinion. So: 1)Nikon 18-55mm VR II (kit lens) + 55-300mm VR 2)Nikon 35mm f/1,8G + 55-300mm VR 3)Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM 4)18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC (OS)* MACRO HSM Because of budget restrictions I can go only with one of these lenses or combination of lenses. What do you think??
Good review. I just think you should warn better when using the 85mm 1.8 G in video. It got a little confusing in the video edition for the ones does not know about lens. PS: Sorry about my English
Great review- This camera is coming in my budget.. but I would be using this cam for videos 80%- talking a lot with I’m sure hand movements. I dint understand much about the auto focus. Would get into that again. But would you recommend this for a beginner on budget for good quality videos and pictures?
First and foremost, great review. I'm from Edmonton so it's great seeing someone close by doing work such as this. I've been looking to find an upgrade for my Nikon D90 and your reviews have helped me a lot. Also, did anyone realize he looks like an older Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park?
Hi! Really good review, just what I was looking for! :) thanks! One comment: You can quickly change the ISO by holding the Fn button on front left and spinning the wheel ;) I'm liking a lot the low light performance, thinking on updating my D3100.
Great video!! I loved the BG music, that Chinese music... How can somebody dislike this... I was so much confused with the Nikon D3300 & Canon 1300D...
For those that are looking for this DSLR and want a ISO button, at the left of the lense there's a button named Fn. Default conf, if you keep pressed that button takes you directly to ISO. Just roll to the ISO you're looking for.
Hello! Awesome video and very well explained! Do you mind me asking what size is the second lens you use? I know at the beginning of the video you're using the kit lens. But then you switch to another lens.
Lol my dad randomly got this camera today at Costco. Needless to say, I am not disappointed, the quality of the pictures is awesome! But then again this is my first ever actual camera. :P
Well m more impressed by the way you reviewed it. Best way to review anything, i never got bored and ofcourse i like real life reviews. D3300 offers same image quality as d5300, not even a tiny difference in that. Great review
Thanks for the great review.. I wish you had explained better how to use the quick white balance because I can't replicate what you did. I JUST got my D3300 today and I must say its the best camera I've ever owned. I totally love it.
hi, great review.. i am actually confused between the cannon t4i, eos 60d and the nikon d 3300, i all i am looking for is good image quality and a good video quality. mainly focused on video making i am planning to start my new short film and launch new you tube channel. could you please suggest which one shall i go with.. thanks
Great review. I am bit confused with canon eos 1200d and canod d3300 . I think d3300 is overall a better package.But canon eos 1200d with an extra 55 -200mm lens is having the same price as that of nikon d3300. So which one should i really go for ?
wow nice video man, I like how honest you are about the camera, I own one tough, and still learning myself, and I really loved it how the way you use the camera and the results, wow you really are a pro 👍
They is the Nikon D3300 advisable to buy now in 2018 over the D3400 (I want mic input) or buy the Canon 1300D instead? Requirements being primarily for Videography for UA-cam videos
I could only be considered related to the Chinese if you go far enough back in history to when the first settlers from China moved to the island of Japan. And I'm only half Japanese so you must be very disappointed. Still I love Chinese culture and I really want you to like me anyways. Thanks for watching. Chris @ The Camera Store TV
TheCameraStoreTV Hi, you mentioned that there was no button to control ISO or whatever, but have you tried the Fn key on the left in front? I think you can set it to ISO and simply hold it while using the scroll.
+Samuel Huang That and also he mentioned theres no option for wifi, which there is!!!!! you just need the WU adapter of course. But you can definitely transfer photos via wifi straight from the D3300
Canon 650D is old, if I'm correct?? You cannot push the shadows / dynamic range with old canon sensors like you can with nikon. If you're not in a big hurry and want canon, I'd say wait for them to release a "good entry level camera". That is, something that can compete in image quality with the rest of the stuff on the market. They've been behind in the sensor tech for long time now, but they have some lenses you can't get in Nikon system.
i owned the D3200 for 4 months or so, needed another camera and bought a 600D. I just sold the nikon and bought another canon. In practice the sensor difference is not that much. The canon just worked better, buttons in better spots, more accurate exposure, sane picture style out of the box, and more; plus if you want to tether your SLR to your laptop the canon includes the software whereas it $200 for the nikon software. If you plan to do video then "magic lantern" adds a lot of functionality.
Hey Chris! Love the channel. I'm often in and out of various camera stores and I really wish The Camera Store was nearby. Also, I'd love to see a video on the Fuji X-T1.
Hello. I've been searching for what camera to buy for about 6 months. Every time I think I've made a decision, I always back out, not wanting to make the wrong one. I think the main two it's boiled down to are the Nikon D3300 or the Pentax k-50. The d3300 is recommended all across the web as a great beginner DSLR (which I am), but once I stumbled across the k-50 I've read good reviews too. The think I am really concerned about the k-50 is the noise. I've heard it is quite noisy, and I'm not sure if that's the best for me. Also, the weight. I've actually looked into mirrorless cameras quite a bit, because I carry my camera around. With all this in mind, which would you suggest? Also, I've considered the Olympus OM-D E-M10. What about that one? I just can't make a decision.
I'm in the same boat I keep almost I knowing which one I want I'd buy, you should buy each one you want and try it first London drugs is really good and they encourage you to buy and try it before you choose to keep it then you'll I know first hand what is best for you
Which microphone system are you using? I have a mixer with wireless microphones but unfortunately it all needs to be plugged into the wall. I am looking for a microphone to record audio when I am outside.
I really like the quality of this video. I'm still going to go look at other videos, but only for due diligence. This pretty much convinced me. I'm looking for best bang for the buck and I really think this camera is it.
+joyjoyoo 18-55mm is a good starting point. I've been doing a lot of landscape photography. I don't know how it works for portraits... i haven't been able to do any yet. I've had the camera now for about 2 months and i'm looking to get another lens, but only because my needs have changed slightly. I want more of a zoom lens. I still really like the 18-55mm for landscape and other wide angle shots. However, it's probably worth mentioning for anyone else. The D5300 kit for about $100 more might be a better way to go. There is one thing about the D3300 didn't know and wish i would have before i got it. It's kind of a geeky thing and doesn't matter for most people. But the CPU is ARM based and has a different API than other cameras. That matters for people who want to do firmware hacking, but it also matters for people who want to do tethered shooting. Most software (especially free software) either doesn't work well or doesn't work at all with D3300. If none of that matters to you, then this is an excellent camera and well worth it.
Hi there. GREAT video! I've been looking to get myself a new DSLR and have been eyeing the D3300 for a little bit now (mainly because I like the price but didn't have the resources to by it, but I will soon!). I'm very impressed with what I've read and seen about the camera, especially when compared to the Nikon D40X that I currently have (10MP, only 3 Focus Points, 3FPS...). I do have a question about upgrading to the 3300. At 2:05 you talk about the 3300 having a "Push Button to unlock and expand" the new 18-55mm lens. Would I still be able to use the 55-200mm lens which I have (and love using) with my D40X on the 3300? Or am I screwed here and if I want a 55-200mm lens for the 3300 then I'm going to have to save up for a long time to buy a new one? Thanks for whatever answer you provide.
As long as you are using the dx lense it will easily mount. Many times you can find a kit with both the 18-55 and the 55-200. I recently added the 50mm prime to my wife's 3300 and it is perfect.
Hi sir :) With which lens did you use on this video ? ( which on was attached to the Nikon d3300) Also there is the original photo from the camera that we can see ? Thanks advance :)
The level of professionalism shown in this video is too damn high.
+davincingzt Sorry about that.
Jordan @ TCSTV
+TheCameraStoreTV That's a good thing no? not like the snob at digitelrevtv
Thanks, but I was talking about his level of professionalism that you talked about. His video was real helpful when compared to other popular camera review channels.
+NeonFlash 10/10 agreed. That channel's more comedy, one which I don't appreciate, but I can see how it appeals to others. Different tastes yknw.
davincingzt Yeah I guess
What a very good camera. "That being said, I'm getting it."
Actually there is a button to control the ISO. It is a key named Fn, right above the button to release the Lens.
Yup you're absolutely right.
indeed!
Love this so much better than the entry level canon's where you have to go menu diving for exposure.
This was more than fun and entertaining (that too!), this was a great review! Whether someone agrees with your decisions or likes the camera or not, you were quick, methodical, interesting, information-packed, no-nonsense. You quickly and easily covered the basics and a bunch more. I especially liked the demos: vivid, illustrative, well placed. The venue was good for this, too. This is among the best handled reviews I've seen. Thanks for putting this together. Great job!
9 years later & this video is still gold. The Nikon D3300 is the best entry level camera till today
Wonderfully done!! Haven't had the pleasure of watching such a well done video in quite some time. Very professional, extremely informative, and quite entertaining! Thanks for all the info!

I am thinking of buying this camera. This will be my first DSLR! This was really interesting and informative. Thanks!
+Eleni E I have heard really good comments about this camera! Im thinking of bying my new camera as well ! Have you bought it yet? :)
+Julia Pappa not yet. I am in the process of saving up. It seems like a really good camera though
+Andrew Sierra thanks
+Alvaro Flores great advice! Thanks Alvaro!
I just received mine love it
Absolutely awesome review. Perfect.
Best thing about these vids is that you show the specifics on each shot. This helps me so much
I swear this is the nicest review of camera I've ever watched. Maybe because of the color and the bg or just everything in this video.
The MKBHD of camera reviews.
Thank you so much for this video. I saw it in a Pawn shop here in Panamá for 170. It was always a dream to own a camera like this and now that I have seen this review, I can't wait to get my hands on it.
By far the most helpful review for this camera I have seen. Thank you for making it concise, but very informative!
Wow, that was an amazing product review. I'm blown away. You and your team are fantastic. I just purchased my first SLR camera last week and yes, it's the NIKON D3300 (black) with an SB-700 Flash and WiFi adapter. I finally upgraded from my Pentax MX 35mm. Yes, I'm old school ;) I'm very excited about entering the world of digital photography finally and I know that I have a lot to learn. I couldn't grasp whether or not some of your great shots were from auto mode or whether you were using your manual technical proficiencies. You're obviously an expert. I assume it is a combination of both. Thank you for your great review of the camera. It is really helpful to a newbie like me. I've got a lot to learn over here in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada!!! All the best!
almost 2 years ago this vid helped me in picking D3300... So far didn't regret .-). Best review i saw on net.
Amazing commentary Chris! That you can ad lib this stuff so fast and smooth is truly astonishing.
The 'that being said' counter! lol!!
Thanks for the great walk through. Mine was delivered today and is waiting for me when I get home from work! Can't wait to crack into it!
Got this camera for Christmas off my wife, now I need to learn how to use it. "That being said" earned this channel a new subscriber
Thank you for this review. I am looking between the D3300 and the D5300 right now, and this showed me some interaction with this camera.
Fabulous video. I'm a total beginner so I'll probably watch it several more times to catch everything but even my first view was enormously helpful. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your stuff.
There is a dedicated ISO button on the left side of the lens barrel. it is marked FN and hold it and use the wheel on the back to adjust.
probably the best review on d3300
Best reviews on the net! Interesting camera, I loved my D3200 when I had it. Great pictures and video guys!
today i order D3300+18-105VR. This video test was last decisive point to my step, thank you!
If you hold down "Fn" and spin the adjusting dial, that is the quick slider for the ISO setting :)
With that said, a job well done!!! Love the detail you put into this review together and the culture; simply amazing. Thanks for sharing!
What a great video. Using the Chinese Cultural Event with all the different colors was an excellent choice in reviewing a camera. Well done.
This was an awesome review and makes my recent purchase feel worth it! Thank you so much! Especially for stating that the "kit lenses" were worth it because a few camera snobs stated they aren't usually that good. Awesome review!
I have had it for years and it is great!
Great review Chris but after "that being said" ...why not do a comparison video of the nikon 3300 vs the Pentax k50?..since canon hasn't released any new entry level dslr...it would be nice to see someone show how good the Pentax entry level cameras compared to the so called "popular" brand ones out there.

Informative and far from boring review. Thanks.
What a fun entertaining review, thanks so much, I actually bought the camera a few days, can't wait to used it. Thanks again
I am planning to buy the D5300(some details make me prefer it over D3300), but I am facing a dilemma when it comes to lenses. After some research I have ended up with these combinations. I would really appreciate your opinion. So:
1)Nikon 18-55mm VR II (kit lens) + 55-300mm VR
2)Nikon 35mm f/1,8G + 55-300mm VR
3)Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM
4)18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC (OS)* MACRO HSM
Because of budget restrictions I can go only with one of these lenses or combination of lenses. What do you think??
I love my d3300.."That being said:7"...Thanks for the review!
Good review. I just think you should warn better when using the 85mm 1.8 G in video. It got a little confusing in the video edition for the ones does not know about lens.
PS: Sorry about my English
Love your reviews. One of the few good youtube channels. Keep up the work.
THAT is a review !!! Good job Chris
The D3300 has a button to change iso, I own a D3200 and both of the cameras have a 'Fn' button on the left side near the lens that lets you change it.
Great review. I missed the better viewfinder if the D3300 series reviewed in the video. I love your videos!
Great review- This camera is coming in my budget.. but I would be using this cam for videos 80%- talking a lot with I’m sure hand movements. I dint understand much about the auto focus. Would get into that again. But would you recommend this for a beginner on budget for good quality videos and pictures?
Very nice review. You really made me want this camera.

the reason ive considered the 3300 & 5200 is because they both seem like great entry-level dslr & within my budget.
Hello! Awesome video and very well explained! Do you mind me asking what size is the second lens you use? I know at the beginning of the video you're using the kit lens. But then you switch to another lens.
I want to buy a camera that takes artsy photos like the ones you see on tunblr. would this be a good camera for that?
Lol my dad randomly got this camera today at Costco. Needless to say, I am not disappointed, the quality of the pictures is awesome! But then again this is my first ever actual camera. :P
By far, the best DSLR review that I understand and like as a beginner. :) Thank you sir!
best camera review ever ! super fast and super informative. thank you so much.
You can assign the FN button on the left to ISO so you can change the ISO quickly.
I have this camera (and 18-105mm, 50mm 1.8, tamron 75-300mm lenses, sb-28 flash) for 2 years. D3300 is just great gear!
This camera is still amazing for non professional enthusiasts
Well m more impressed by the way you reviewed it. Best way to review anything, i never got bored and ofcourse i like real life reviews. D3300 offers same image quality as d5300, not even a tiny difference in that. Great review
Thanks for the great review.. I wish you had explained better how to use the quick white balance because I can't replicate what you did.
I JUST got my D3300 today and I must say its the best camera I've ever owned. I totally love it.
Lovely video honestly. Which time will Nikon make an update for D810? Appreciation
Liked the review; was in doubt about either buy the D3300 or the D5300. One question though: isn't it better to buy a D3300 body with a 18-105 lens?
There is a button for iso. It is the function button by default located on the front left of the camera body
hi,
great review.. i am actually confused between the cannon t4i, eos 60d and the nikon d 3300, i all i am looking for is good image quality and a good video quality. mainly focused on video making i am planning to start my new short film and launch new you tube channel. could you please suggest which one shall i go with..
thanks
Such an amazing review. I was entertained the whole way through! Thanks!
Best review on a camera I have ever seen. Great video!!!
Great review. I am bit confused with canon eos 1200d and canod d3300 . I think d3300 is overall a better package.But canon eos 1200d with an extra 55 -200mm lens is having the same price as that of nikon d3300. So which one should i really go for ?
Thank you my friend for to share this fantastic video and for your sincere professionalism
"That being said" Canon may release it's new entry "SL" Rebel 6i at Cp+ Show!
What a great review...you're a pro at it. Thanks very much. Wondering if you've reviewed any Canon entry level like the T5i?
wow nice video man, I like how honest you are about the camera, I own one tough, and still learning myself, and I really loved it how the way you use the camera and the results, wow you really are a pro 👍
awesome review! I'm wondering if this is a good camera for street photography ?
They is the Nikon D3300 advisable to buy now in 2018 over the D3400 (I want mic input) or buy the Canon 1300D instead? Requirements being primarily for Videography for UA-cam videos
I always thought Chris was Chinese.
Is Chris Chinese?
I'd like it if Chris was Chinese.
I could only be considered related to the Chinese if you go far enough back in history to when the first settlers from China moved to the island of Japan. And I'm only half Japanese so you must be very disappointed. Still I love Chinese culture and I really want you to like me anyways. Thanks for watching.
Chris @ The Camera Store TV
TheCameraStoreTV I knew you must have had some japanese in you... even my (Japanese) wife thought so too. Which always are awesome!
TheCameraStoreTV
That's alright, Chris. I'll always love you and your Asian ways! :D
TheCameraStoreTV suprise! u are half japanese
he looks more like a filipino than anything else
great presentation style. very informative and presenter is likable. my next hong kong shopping haul will include this camera among other items.
TheCameraStoreTV Hi, you mentioned that there was no button to control ISO or whatever, but have you tried the Fn key on the left in front? I think you can set it to ISO and simply hold it while using the scroll.
+Samuel Huang That and also he mentioned theres no option for wifi, which there is!!!!! you just need the WU adapter of course. But you can definitely transfer photos via wifi straight from the D3300
Man! You just SOLD this camera to me! GREAT VIDEO!!
Thanks for the review. Do you have a video on the D5300 as I just bought myself one of those?
I really liked the camera, I'm trying to decide between Canon D650 or Nikon D3300
Which is better? Thank you
But in video you say you are very happy and surprised to Nikon camera image quality and Sports!
Canon 650D is old, if I'm correct?? You cannot push the shadows / dynamic range with old canon sensors like you can with nikon. If you're not in a big hurry and want canon, I'd say wait for them to release a "good entry level camera". That is, something that can compete in image quality with the rest of the stuff on the market. They've been behind in the sensor tech for long time now, but they have some lenses you can't get in Nikon system.

Nikon, it has a modern Sony sensor. The D650 uses a Canon sensor that is like, 3-4 years old. There's no competition!
i owned the D3200 for 4 months or so, needed another camera and bought a 600D. I just sold the nikon and bought another canon. In practice the sensor difference is not that much. The canon just worked better, buttons in better spots, more accurate exposure, sane picture style out of the box, and more; plus if you want to tether your SLR to your laptop the canon includes the software whereas it $200 for the nikon software. If you plan to do video then "magic lantern" adds a lot of functionality.
Hey Chris! Love the channel. I'm often in and out of various camera stores and I really wish The Camera Store was nearby. Also, I'd love to see a video on the Fuji X-T1.
There is an ISO button! On the left side of the camera you hold it and use the wheel to adjust it
Hello. I've been searching for what camera to buy for about 6 months. Every time I think I've made a decision, I always back out, not wanting to make the wrong one. I think the main two it's boiled down to are the Nikon D3300 or the Pentax k-50. The d3300 is recommended all across the web as a great beginner DSLR (which I am), but once I stumbled across the k-50 I've read good reviews too. The think I am really concerned about the k-50 is the noise. I've heard it is quite noisy, and I'm not sure if that's the best for me. Also, the weight. I've actually looked into mirrorless cameras quite a bit, because I carry my camera around. With all this in mind, which would you suggest? Also, I've considered the Olympus OM-D E-M10. What about that one? I just can't make a decision.

I'm in the same boat I keep almost I knowing which one I want I'd buy, you should buy each one you want and try it first London drugs is really good and they encourage you to buy and try it before you choose to keep it then you'll I know first hand what is best for you
This d3300 vs the nikon d5200?
Which microphone system are you using? I have a mixer with wireless microphones but unfortunately it all needs to be plugged into the wall. I am looking for a microphone to record audio when I am outside.
Which camera your using in to shot this video?. because your video's quality is awesome.... Do Reply...
I really like the quality of this video. I'm still going to go look at other videos, but only for due diligence. This pretty much convinced me. I'm looking for best bang for the buck and I really think this camera is it.
Well, I bought the camera and I LOVE it!
Cheers, mate.
+fleshTH will the 18-55mm lens be enough for daily shoots?
+joyjoyoo 18-55mm is a good starting point. I've been doing a lot of landscape photography. I don't know how it works for portraits... i haven't been able to do any yet. I've had the camera now for about 2 months and i'm looking to get another lens, but only because my needs have changed slightly. I want more of a zoom lens. I still really like the 18-55mm for landscape and other wide angle shots.
However, it's probably worth mentioning for anyone else. The D5300 kit for about $100 more might be a better way to go. There is one thing about the D3300 didn't know and wish i would have before i got it. It's kind of a geeky thing and doesn't matter for most people. But the CPU is ARM based and has a different API than other cameras. That matters for people who want to do firmware hacking, but it also matters for people who want to do tethered shooting. Most software (especially free software) either doesn't work well or doesn't work at all with D3300. If none of that matters to you, then this is an excellent camera and well worth it.
fleshTH thanks so much! 5300 doesn't really appeal to me, haha! think i will get the 3300 and add another lens to it. 55 200mm perhaps =]
Got the p900 nikon camera buying this tomorrow to use as a back up camera.Good review
Great review Chris, thanks.
Hi there.
GREAT video! I've been looking to get myself a new DSLR and have been eyeing the D3300 for a little bit now (mainly because I like the price but didn't have the resources to by it, but I will soon!). I'm very impressed with what I've read and seen about the camera, especially when compared to the Nikon D40X that I currently have (10MP, only 3 Focus Points, 3FPS...). I do have a question about upgrading to the 3300. At 2:05 you talk about the 3300 having a "Push Button to unlock and expand" the new 18-55mm lens. Would I still be able to use the 55-200mm lens which I have (and love using) with my D40X on the 3300? Or am I screwed here and if I want a 55-200mm lens for the 3300 then I'm going to have to save up for a long time to buy a new one?
Thanks for whatever answer you provide.
As long as you are using the dx lense it will easily mount. Many times you can find a kit with both the 18-55 and the 55-200. I recently added the 50mm prime to my wife's 3300 and it is perfect.
You are getting F2.8 shots with the kit lens?
I really love your work in this video .
Thanks !
I used d3300 and 17-55/2.8 and 70-200/2.8 to shoot sports last year and it worked.
I'm about to take a DSLR being a beginner, so I'm confused between nikon D3300 & canon t3i that is 600D, which one should I buy?
It's so refreshing to hear Chris speaking Chinese (Cantonese, actually).
Hi sir :)
With which lens did you use on this video ? ( which on was attached to the Nikon d3300)
Also there is the original photo from the camera that we can see ?
Thanks advance :)
Were you shooting in manual, aperature priority or something else for all the shots here?
@TheCameraStoreTV What do you think between the D3300 and the D5100 models?
