Compare nikon d3500 vs d3400 detailed analysis

Rate this post

Well all feature of nikon d3500 vs d3400 are almost same but there is a very little changes. here are the following changes

 

1. Nikon D3500 vs D3400: sensor

While the D3500 mirrors the D3400 in offering an effective pixel count of 24.2MP from a DX-format (APS-C) sensor without an optical low-pass filter, Nikon’s US press release states that this sensor is newly developed.

The spec sheet shows it to have 24.78MP in total, rather than the 24.72MP count of the D3400. Quite why Nikon has opted for a new sensor, and what that means, is unclear, but hopefully, it’ll lead to improvements in image quality.

2. Nikon D3500 vs D3400: battery life

One thing that sets the D3400 apart from its rivals is its battery life. While we normally find such models can persevere for around 600 or 700 frames on a single charge, the D3400 managed a staggering 1,200 frames (according to CIPA ratings).

Nikon EN-EL14a

As impressive as that was, Nikon has somehow managed to boost this to 1,550 frames per charge on the D3500, despite it using the same EN-EL14a battery. This represents a 30% increase, and will no doubt be appreciated by those shooting for a full day without easy access to a power point.

3. Nikon D3500 vs D3400: design

The D3500 brings some of the features that made the D5600 shine down to a cheaper price point. In the hands, the first difference you’ll notice is that the grip is more substantial, which should not only help with handling overall, but also when using longer and/or heavier lenses.

4.Nikon D3500 vs D3400: size and weight

The D3500 shaves 30g off the weight of the D3400’s body, weighing 365g rather than its predecessor’s 395g without a battery or memory card in place.

5.Nikon D3500 vs D3400: price

Cost is a key factor for this market, so it’s welcome to see Nikon delivering the new model at a more attractive price point than before, at least in the US.

The D3400 was launched at $649 with its AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 VR optic, but the newer D3500 will land at just $499.95 with the same lens.
