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
Nikon D3400 w/AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR & AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED (Red)

First off, it is a beautiful looking camera. I bought the red simply because it was the cheaper of the two options, but I have fallen in love with the cherry red color. When I first bought it, I was a bit surprised to see how much of it was plastic, and I was a bit apprehensive as to how well it would hold up, but if you take good care of it, it'll last. Just wish the build quality was a bit more premium, but you get what you pay for, besides you forget about the plastic after awhile.
The pictures are crisp and clear and performs wonderfully in low light. If you know how to use a camera beyond point and shoot, you can get some fantastic images from this. The built in SnapBridge Bluetooth app is a pretty neat tool (it wasn't a factor when deciding to buy or not) and if you aren't shooting in RAW, then I'd say it's useful. I haven't used the feature in ages, but from what I remember, it performance varies. Some days it worked very fast and like a charm, others it was painfully slow, it's a coin toss really.
Battery life is really good, usually last a few of hours when taking pictures, and days on end when not in use. I only wish I didn't have to take the battery out of the camera to charge it, but that's fine, not really a deal breaker.
Overall, I love this camera and look forward to using it for years to come. If you're looking into buying a DSLR, I couldn't reccomend a better one.
