Key Advantages

The Nikon D3400 delivers excellent image quality with its 24.2 MP DX CMOS sensor and EXPEED 4 image processor. Its lightweight body enhances portability for on-the-go photography. The extensive ISO range up to 25,600 allows low-light performance flexibility. Bluetooth connectivity facilitates instant sharing and transfers without cables. The compatibility with a vast range of F-mount lenses offers creative freedom and versatility. Moreover, an easy-to-use Guide Mode educates beginners about photography techniques directly on the camera.

Limitations

The Nikon D3400 lacks a touchscreen interface, which some contemporary entry-level cameras provide. It does not feature 4K video recording, restricting video resolution to Full HD 1080p. The autofocus system with 11 points is modest compared to more advanced models, limiting tracking performance for fast action. The camera lacks a microphone input, reducing audio quality control during video capture. The rear LCD screen is fixed and not articulated or tilting, making it less versatile for creative angles or selfies. Battery life is good but could be improved for extended shooting sessions in the field.
