Announced 17 August 2016

The Nikon D3400 is a 24.2- megapixel DX format DSLR Nikon F-mount camera officially launched by Nikon on August 17, 2016. [1] It is marketed as an entry-level DSLR camera for beginners and experienced DSLR hobbyists. It replaces the D3300 as Nikon's entry level DSLR.

Nikon offers a body/lens kit combinations that varies from country to country. In most countries the D3400 is available with an AF-P 18-55 mm kit lens that includes Nikon's image stabilization ( Vibration Reduction, VR). In the US there is an unusual two lens kit option offered only with the black body. [2] The 18–55 mm lens has VR but the second lens being a 70–300 mm is the non-VR variant for a total of US$999. [3]

The D3400 is available in a black or red body.

The D3400 was superseded as Nikon's entry-level camera by the D3500 in August 2018. [4]
