Nikon D3400

GET Nikon D3400 at the best price in Kenya from Starmac Technologies.

The Nikon D3400 has the exact same miniscule size of Nikon’s previous cameras in this range such as the D3300 and D3200. It uses a black shutter release button. Nikon used this black shutter release on just their higher end and their mid-range cameras.

Nikon D3400 doesn’t look like as much of an upgrade because it do not have whole lot of improvement. At first this camera is still uses the exact same 24 megapixel sensor that was found in the D3300. There’s no new video options or anything like that.

Nikon D3400 doed come with Nikon’s new snap bridge technology. Basically this is a newer app that they have now to transfer photographs from the camera to a smart device. Nikon implements it using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi are both on some of the cameras like the B500. Nikon D3400 gets Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability with a low-power but you have the ability to transfer photographs to a smart device.

If you’re shooting video you have the ability to have completely solid auto focus. If you’re on continuous focus in video mode you can focus the camera or have the camera focus automatically rather. For this you don’t have any type of auto focus sound.

Nikon D3400 is still using a contrast based to tech system so you don’t have the benefit of face detect. It’s not quite as fast as the Canon system but it is still extremely good. On the Canon you have to go to higher end cameras to be able to get that type of focus technology. You have to go up to like the ATD to get it.

The lens doesn’t have any switches on it anymore so it doesn’t have an auto focus, amendment focus and a VR switch. On this one you actually go into your menu to change things it’s a little bit different than it was in the past.

It still uses an SD card slot and the exact same battery that we all know and love. The battery life is much much higher than what it used to be. People were wondering why is the battery life so much higher. They didn’t use a different battery. It still uses the exact same processor and sensor. They decided to cut the flash power in half and so whenever cameras are tested for battery certification basically they take about half the pictures with flash and half the pictures without flash.

If you have a camera with the less powerful flash then it’s going to perform better than the battery test. For those of you who are going to be using flash a lot, you’re going to get a better images.

It has the same 11-point autofocus system that first debuted in about 2002 in the Nikon D200. It is nice to see the 39 point focus system from Nikon 5000’s cameras and in the 3000’s. Mirrorless cameras have focus systems with focus points which cover the entire array.
