Nikon D3300 DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens (Black)

The Nikon D3300 with 18-55mm Lens is an entry-level DSLR kit designed for photographers moving up from smartphones or point-and-shoot cameras, pairing an accessible, compact camera body with a versatile everyday zoom lens for a complete, ready-to-shoot setup. Positioned at the foundation of Nikon’s consumer DSLR lineup, it offers strong image quality and a simple, approachable shooting experience for photographers new to interchangeable-lens cameras.

At the core of the D3300 is a 24.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor paired with Nikon’s EXPEED 4 image processor, with the sensor design omitting the traditional optical low-pass filter to maximize sharpness and detail. This combination delivers high-resolution imaging, notable low-light sensitivity up to a native ISO 12800 (expandable to ISO 25600), and continuous shooting at up to 5 fps. Autofocus is handled by an 11-point AF system that locks onto subjects as soon as they enter the frame and tracks them until the shot is captured.

Handling centers on a 3.0-inch, 921k-dot LCD monitor, along with a bright pentamirror optical viewfinder for precise eye-level composing. A built-in pop-up flash supports Nikon’s i-TTL flash metering system, and a hot shoe allows for an optional external flash for greater lighting control. Video capability includes Full HD 1080p recording at up to 60p, along with Easy Panorama mode and Picture Control settings for in-camera adjustment of color and contrast in both photos and movies. Wireless image transfer to a smartphone or tablet is supported via Nikon’s optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter.

The bundled AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 27-82.5mm, and was the first lens for Nikon F-mount SLR cameras to use a retractable barrel design, reducing its size by roughly 30% compared to the previous 18-55mm Nikkor lens. The lens includes Nikon’s VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization, rated to counteract camera shake by up to four shutter-speed steps, along with a Super Integrated Coating to reduce flare and ghosting and a rounded 7-blade diaphragm for smoother background blur. Its Silent Wave Motor delivers quick, quiet autofocus suited to both stills and video.

Build quality reflects the D3300’s compact, lightweight positioning, designed to fit comfortably in the hands with buttons and dials arranged for convenient operation. The D3300 uses Nikon’s F-mount lens system, giving photographers access to Nikon’s extensive range of FX and DX-format lenses as they look to expand their kit over time.
