One thing those processing images will appreciate is the camera's healthy dynamic range. It's possible to recover a decent amount of detail in post-processing Partner the D3400 with some good lenses though, and you achieve images with excellent levels of detail - like the shot below. One thing that lets down image quality is the standard of the 18-55mm VR kit lens, particularly at the wideangle and telephoto extremes. With no optical low-pass filter in front of its sensor, it's possible to record a very good level of detail in images, particularly if you use a high-quality prime lens, a macro optic or one of Nikon's pro-oriented zooms. This is particularly unhelpful when faced with unselectable options as it doesn't explain exactly why they cannot be chosen, and it may cause the first-time user to have to check their manual more often than should be necessary. One small annoyance is that Nikon has maintained the same 'this option is not available at the current settings or in the camera's current state' error message from previous models. This places the D3400 at a huge advantage over other models. Battery life is an issue for many compact system cameras, whose small batteries often have to power both LCD screen and electronic viewfinders, although the D3400's battery is far juicier than most other DSLR batteries too (certainly in this class). Having initially charged it fully, the camera maintained a full three bars after two days of being tested. One feature that deserves high praise is the 1200-shot battery life. Manual control over exposure may be enabled and while a little rolling shutter is visible in certain scenes, this is only really an issue if you pan the camera at speed. It doesn't come as too great a surprise that the camera doesn't quite stretch to recording 4K video, offering Full HD instead, although good results are possible. Nikon has, however, put work into SnapBridge since the D3400 was released, and we've seen this work better on more recent models, so it's entirely likely that the D3400 does better here with the most recent version of the SnapBridge app. This has not been well received since it introduction earlier in the year, and it was not possible to establish a connection when paired with an iPhone 6 for the duration of this test, despite both devices recognising each other. Wireless image transfer takes place over the camera's Bluetooth-running SnapBridge system, for which you need Nikon's dedicated app of the same name. this places the D3400 at a huge advantage over other models The key thing is that it can reproduce the scene faithfully and show details clearly, and with 921k dots it does a good job to do both. A tilting touchscreen would be nice, but you generally have to pay a little more for these kinds of privileges. The LCD display beneath it is fixed in place and not sensitive to touch, although for this kind of money that's what we expect.
