Key Advantages

The 24.1 MP APS-C sensor delivers detailed, high-resolution images suitable for large prints and cropping.

EXPEED 3 processor offers fast performance and enhanced image quality with good noise management.

39-point autofocus system improves accuracy and tracking for diverse shooting conditions.

Full HD video recording with manual controls provides versatility for multimedia creators.

Vari-angle LCD enhances compositional flexibility, especially in live view and video modes.

Compatibility with Nikon F-mount lenses offers a wide range of lens choices for different photographic styles.

Limitations

Limited burst shooting speed at approximately 5 frames per second may restrict capturing very fast action sequences.

No built-in Wi-Fi; requires optional accessory for wireless image transfer and remote control.

The camera's autofocus in live view and video mode is contrast-detect only, which is slower than phase-detect AF.

LCD screen resolution is modest at 921,000 dots compared to higher-end models.

The camera lacks a touchscreen interface, limiting intuitive control options.

No 4K video recording support as it predates this technology in DSLRs.
