Nikon has just revealed the D3400 DSLR, like the rumor mill expected. The new entry-level camera comes alongside four lenses, two of which were confirmed earlier this year.

At the beginning of 2016 it became clear that Nikon was going to launch a new D3000-series camera this year. After being mentioned within the gossip mill a few times, the so-called Nikon D3400 is finally official.

The shooter is joined by four optics, as follows: AF-P DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR, AF-P DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G, AF-P DX Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR, and AF-P DX Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED.

The former pair was introduced in early 2016, but its price and release date were not confirmed. Now, everything is official and here is what you can expect from all these new products!

From the get go, we have to say that the company’s new entry-level DSLR is not a major improvement over its predecessor. However, there are some notable changes compared to the D3300. According to Nikon, the D3400 has a new 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS image sensor without an anti-aliasing filter. Still, the megapixel count is identical to the one of it sheir.

A battery life of 1,200 shots on a single charge is now available, compared to the previous version’s 700 shots on a single charge. The SnapBridge technology has also been added to the D3400, allowing the camera to connect to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.
