Nikon D3300 ($397 with 18-55mm lens)

Megapixels: 24.2
Sensor size: 357 sq. mm
Weight: 15.1 oz.
What we like: Essentially the same image quality as the D3400 for $100 less.
What we don’t: Inferior battery life than the D3400.
Lenses: 10 Great Nikon DX Lenses

Despite the release of the newer D3400 below, the D3300 offers essentially the same image and video quality for $100 less. All things considered, it’s our favorite entry-level DSLR for 2018, offering 24.2 megapixels of resolution, a fast burst rate of 5 frames-per-second, and the easy-to-use functionality that Nikon is known for. Perhaps most importantly, it’s a tremendous value at less than $400 with a kit lens. The D3400 does have better battery life and low light performance, but we still prefer saving with the older model.

Keep in mind that the 18-55mm kit lens sold with the D3300 is good but not great. You can add a 55-200mm as part of a two-lens kit, which will have you covered all the way from wide angle to telephoto. But those who progress in their photography may eventually want to add a specialty prime or zoom at your favorite focal lengths. For more features including improved autofocus, see the Nikon D5000 series below.
