Hello all and please be gentle as i'm new to to the forum, I will be asking more in depth questions once i've got my foot in the door so to speak on how to get the best out of these cameras. I have the choice of either the D3200 or D3400 I know these are basically budget SLR cameras but should full all of my needs, I'm wanting honest answers from users as to which and why would be the best choice of the two. The D3400 would cost approx £75 more 2nd hand,would the cost be worth it and based of what i've read already not much between them.
Many thanks for any replies
 
Simon, I think that you also need to really consider what lenses you would like, almost before or certainly at the same time as buying a body.
 
A friend has D3200 he may part with but my brother has a D3400 he will most likely let me have for similar money, the D3400 would have std 18-55…an 18-140 and also a 70-300. The D3200 would have std 18-55, 55-300 and a 70-200. Just really want to know if the D3400 is really any better or just extra gimmicks pros and cons thanks for reply

the body, controls and options for the 2 cameras may be budget but there is nothing budget about the sensor particularly the d3400's, the AFP lenses that can use also are a step up from the non afp according to some experienced Nikon shooters. If it was for me to choose it would be the d3400 every time but have a look at some of the YouTube reviews etc to help you decide also.

Nikon D3400 sensor review: New class leader​

; Specifications and features In most respects, the Nikon D3400 has the same features as its predecessor. Apart from some slight exterior styling changes, the new model has the same or a related 24-Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor without OLPF; however, its EXPEED 4 processor has a new top ISO value of 25600, up a stop from 12800. Adjustments to the processor have also resulted in extended battery life and improved recording of Full HD (1080/60p) videos; however, the frame rate options and 5fps continuous shooting for stills remain unchanged. It also uses the same Multi-CAM 1000 11-point AF system focus and 3.0-inch LCD

Very little in it tbh. The sensor is a little better, and it has Bluetooth on the D3400. Thats about it, everything else is the same.

Saying that, you say the d3200 would have a 70-200 with it. Find out the exact lens and that might be the one to go for. If its a 70-200 f/2.8, then that would be worth a fair bit on its own.
 
might be worth mentioning,thed3400 has a higher magnification of the viewfinder which some people find gives a clearer(more magnified)view and has had the low pass optical filter removed that can result in slightly sharper looking photos but also can cause moire in certain types of images.

Check the shutter count on both. If they're similar, opt for the D3200 and spend the spare cash on a 35mm f/1.8 DX lens. The difference in sensor quality will be negligible. The D3200 has a more powerful built-in flash. The D3400 has a black shutter release button, the D3200's is silver. Asides from that, there's little to differentiate between the two. I've got a D3200. I've also got a swanky full-frame, bells and whistles, semi-pro DSLR. I'd happily use the D3200 for day-to-day snapping. The D3200 has a good sensor. It does the job. An ideal 1st 'proper' camera.

Just my 2c.
 
Many thanks for all your input, doesn't look much between them but looks like 3400 edges it even if only by a little
