[QUOTE="aroy, post: 292437, member: 16090"] Impressions of one month of ownership. For past month I have been playing around with the D3300. After more than 3300 shots, here are my impressions. . The 24MP sensor is quite a lot of details. . The camera is so light that you do not feel it is there. . Though the DR is not as much as in D5300, D610 or D800 it is quite a lot. I can recover at least 1EV of highlights and 4EV of shadows without any problem. What this translates to is that I can be a bit lax in my exposure and still get a well exposed image. . With high DR, there is less need for HDR. Where the scene has a DR of 13 EV or less, there is no need for HDR. Of course when the DR is extremely high, say 20+EV as in case of shadows in bright sunlight that is another scenario all together. . Where the DX trumps FX is when the subject of interest is smaller than the the sensor area. Shooting birds and insects with 50mm or 100mm means that they are quite small, about 3-10mm on the sensor. With higher density of the 24MP DX sensor, you get more pixels than you would in a 24MP FX sensor. That is what DX shooters mean when they say that the focal length is "multiplied" by 1.5. Where the lower end body is lacking . There is no auto bracketing. . Non CPU lenses are not metered, unlike in the D7100 and the FX bodies. . The flash intensities are not calculated properly at shorter distance. It is fine only after 2 meters or so. . The autofocus is a bit iffy, even at the centre. I have had a lot of front and back focusing (it is not consistent) if there are details of varying depth within the AF points rectangle. I guess more practice in locating the AF point is required. On the whole I am extremely happy with this body. My D70 and the D300 may be built like tank, have a host of features more, but I always wanted a no frill body and the D3300 fits it to a T. [/QUOTE]
