About this deal
By the maximum ISO 12,800, luminance noise fills the frame and almost all the fine detail you would expect to see from a 24.2-million-pixel sensor is lost. The extended ISO 25,600 setting is worse still, with even colour noise difficult to control.
When editing raw files it is possible to just squeeze a little more sharpness out of the images, but the resolution remains the same as in the JPEGs – the raw files can just be processed to look a little clearer.Weighing just 410 grams (Body only) and boasting a much smaller, retractable 18-55mm VR kit lens alongside a 55-200mm VR lens, the lightweight D3300 makes it more comfortable than ever to carry a Digital SLR
