CONCLUSIONS

Within the range of start-up cameras we can say that it is the one with the best price and performance. Although if you want to look at other similar options, you can take a look, for example, at the Canon 200D (compare them on this link ).

With respect to the predecessor, as I said, the novelties are very few: a lighter and smaller tad, a customizable function button (negative point) has disappeared and slightly improves the plastic sensation that some complain about The D3400 The only thing that stands out is the increase in battery autonomy, which goes from about 1200 shots to about 1500; and that all the back buttons have moved to the right, which is more comfortable when handling it.
