Fixed non-touch-sensitive screen, No Wi-Fi, No 4K video, Optical viewfinder doesn't offer 100% coverage

Very compact and lightweight body, Superb battery life, Good single, shot AF performance, Very compact and quiet kit lens
No touchscreen, Lacklustre kit lens performance, Poor connectivity options

Compact and lightweight, Very good ISO performance, Bluetooth for file transfers, Improved battery life
Only a minor refresh of the D3300, No Wi-Fi, Display washes out under direct sunlight
The D3400 retails online for about Rs.29,990, which is what Canon's 1300D goes for as well. Between the two companies, Nikon has the stronger product at this price, both in terms of performance and features. It has better ISO performance at higher sensiti...
