Two Mustangs
This camera is so great. The quality of the pictures continues to astound me. While many could enjoy this thing with it set on "Auto" for the life of the camera, it offers hundreds more options. So many, in fact, that I ended up doing something very embarrassing - I bought my first (and hopefully only) "For Dummies" book for this camera. Having no experience beyond point-and-shoot, I am learning so much about not only this camera, but photography in general. Sure, this is a plug for "Nikon D3400 For Dummies," but I really want to communicate the huge array of options available on this thing. Ive taken pictures that could be post cards or hung on walls with it. Nikon D3400 For Dummies That being said, my non-5 star review is based on some of the included accessories in this package. While I have not even touched a lot of the included items, I have run across a couple things that Ive noticed others have trouble with as well. The remote control doesnt work with this camera. Bower RCUNI Universal Remote Control for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Panasonic, Olympus DSLRs (Black) The hand strap doesnt work with this camera. Ive read (in the questions section) that the Nikon ML-L3 remote works with the d3400, even though its not listed in the description. Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control Ive also been thinking Ill take a hacksaw to the hand strap. See, the threaded piece that screws into the tripod interface on the bottom of the camera is too long. Before you can get it screwed in and snugged up to the camera, it bottoms out. You cant screw it in far enough so the strap just spins around that point. Im going to try sawing off some of the threads and hope that itll tighten things up. These two items shouldnt be included in the package or they should be replaced by items tested to work with the camera. As I said, I havent even unpackaged a lot of the accessories, but these two things have stuck in my mind since I bought all of this several months ago. If you buy the camera stand-alone, you will not go wrong, in my opinion. I cant say enough about how great it is. Its a huge deal for all the stuff, but do know that not everything may work with this excellent camera if you buy the bundle.
