[@TheStalin111]

Hey tony I’m looking to buy 70-200mm for D3300 which one is the best one if only Nikon then which one of this G, G2 or E?

[@kenmcf]

New D3300 owner...have watched a few similar, but i like your common sense and clear style. The pace is perfect. Thanks.

[@jeffbeso7922]

I must agree i am on the market for the same camera, and after watching your review im confident this is what camera im getting as my first. Thank you for the great review on it.

[@calebbonsall-pearson3218]

+Cameron Klim it's a great camera, I have higher end cameras than the d3300 but I often switch back because i love it so much

[@victordavila8955]

I really recommend this camera I already brought one! and is very exciting watch this kind of videos

[@aamarnath]

Tony, This video is one of the best.... I just took my D3300 and with in a day your video got to educate me on all the features.... Thanks for that... and also for all your suggestion slated on this video......

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Arvind Amarnath thanks, glad to help!

[@Then64]

Best. Camera. Tutorial. Ever. Hands Down. Wow.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Carlos Then Thanks! Enjoy the camera!

[@henrynaylor8680]

OMG this is a great tutorial. I just purchased a D3300 as my first DSLR. This is the best tutorial I've seen so far. I'll be watching it a few time and purchasing your book as well! Thanks for making it and making it free!

[@treist]

Tony and Chelsea thank you for keeping this content available! Your tutorials are always so well done. I have had my D3300 for 3-4 years but have watched this tutorial 3 times now because I let my camera sit for months before picking it up again and its one of the best if not THE best tutorial. In short you guys are awesome!

[@Bunny123-f3l]

I've had this camera for 2 years now and I finally feel like I know how to use it after watching this. Thank you for your time and energy in your videos. You are a great teacher and I will be buying your books now.

[@andrewcho8162]

Definitely the best channel for camera reviews! Your videos help me out a lot!

[@Atarix777]

I am new to photografy and just got a Nikon D3200 with a 18-105 Lense to start somewhere. I took now something like 2-3 hours to follow every step in this video with my own camera in hands and it is amazing how much i've learned of basic stuff in this short time... So, first I wanted to thank Tony and his team for this great and interesting video and second I would like to suggest to all the begginers out there: Take the time and follow every single tip that you will see here (pause and rewatch it until you really understood it) and you will improve just right away :) And now... I need to order some of the suggested stuff ^^

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Atarix777 Thanks! Glad I could help!

[@kenrichards1225]

This was an outstanding tutorial on the d3300, which I just bought today. I realize I am going to have to go through it again, holding my camera, and doing exactly what Tony Northrup is explaining. The first time through, just watching the video, was a great overview. Thanks to this video, I just saved myself hours of frustration, and may even get a decent picture or two.

[@nicholelandis6713]

I watched this video after ordering this camera and again just now once I had it in my hands. It's my first DSLR and your videos have given me some confidence that I can actually use it and made me excited for my upcoming trip to Costa Rica.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Nichole Landis Glad to help!

[@seanbeleele3292]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been chronically ill for quite a long time and been unable to have a creative outlet, I recently decided to get into photography... being disabled, I didn't have a ton of money to buy an expensive camera to start, I bought the D3300 and have been looking for a good tutorial for a while now, this was way beyond my expectations. I wish I had found your channel before buying a lens, tripod and filters.. I've learned so much in just a few of your videos. Thank you so much for helping me improve my photography skills and understand my camera so much more. Subscribed for future purchasing and tips! Thanks again.

[@markallemang7745]

Thank you so much for your videos. I've requested your book as an upcoming gift. I watched several of your videos on taking portraits the day before my son's high school prom. Thanks to you, I got AMAZING photos using a Canon PowerShot. Everyone's impressed. As a result, I got more interested and I just got the D3300 as a first digital slr. You have a gift at explaining concepts with crystal clarity.

[@moses5707]

I have the utmost respect for Tony, he seems like a very open minded and patient instructor. His videos are so informative and positive. I'm definitely convinced, and will be picking up my copy of "stunning visual photography" tomorrow morning! Thanks so much for your time and honesty, Tony!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

moses weyer thanks, Moses! My pleasure, and enjoy!

[@TerryBoydon]

Just purchased a Nikon D3300 today and with the help of this video im sure I will master it quicker than reading any instructions...... Excellent Video....

[@GaryWoodVet]

I've watched several videos and read many how-to articles. Watching this added great value, I appreciate the time, insights, and guidance presented in this video. I'm glad to invest the time...

[@billj5645]

Great video, even at 8 years old. I just bought a used D3300 for hiking use and had already saved this video to watch when the camera arrived. I have used many more advanced Nikon DSLR so I'm familiar with reading the manual and working through the menu settings but I thought it would get me a quick kick start into the camera by watching your video.

[@tamanebp]

Thanks for making this video! I'm going to Iceland in a few days and the D3300 is the first "real" camera I've owned, so all of these manual camera terms and concepts are new to me.

[@rzozaya1969]

I really like how you explain stuff! I just bought the Nikon D3300 in a kit that includes the standard lens plus a 55-200 Nikor lens and a small flash (SB300), and really love the camera (my previous camera is a Canon PowerShot SX200 which was a nice point and shot for the time).

[@lewisvslitter9639]

Brilliant informative tutorial Tony. Easy to follow and gave me a real insight into my new D3300. I now feel confident to take it off auto. Manual here I come!!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Julie M Glad to help!

[@stevemillardlm]

Excellent video, clear and concise, and it never spent the first 10 minutes showing me how to open a box....and unlike many other videos on KZbin, Tony doesn't SHOUT. I've had this video open on my navigation bar all week and am constantly referring to it.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Steve Millar Thanks! Glad I could help.

[@chriskay3058]

I've just purchased the D3200 and 2 kit lenses for a fantastic price. After much research see a huge difference between it and the D3300, so I went for it. I have watched dozens of videos trying to figure out how to change shutter and aperture in manual mode. One would think this would be pretty standard fare. But it wasn't. And the owner's manual wasn't a great deal of help either.Your video explained everything I need to know to get going. Having been a student of photography back in the 70's and 80's I understand a lot about shutter speed, aperture and ISO (a.k.a. ASA) and how they all relate to the final image. I went into this not wanting to get stuck depending on the auto mode, so I will shoot in manual - or one of the priority modes for most of the time. If I easy, I'll use a point and shoot or my cellphone camera. And shooting RAW is an absolute must for me. I purchased Adobe Lightroom 6 and am in the process of learning that as well. Developed my first NEF in LR6 only 2 hours after taking my first shot on the D3200. Results are extremely encouraging. By the way, will you be doing a book on LR6? Thank you again for a great instructional video, and consider me subscribed. I am looking forward to becoming passionate about photography again. Brilliant video. Cheers mate !

[@plaindave]

Thank you for this video! Purchased my D3300 a month or so ago and have been playing around with the settings after watching another of your beginner tutorials. This has helped me understand (and know where to find the information for) the camera in more detail and makes more sense than the manual. Hopefully I will remember all this information when I am out and about with the camera!

[@photosynthesis_by_pete4006]

Excellent Video. I have just bought a NIKON D3300. This is the best tutorial ever for this Camera. 5 STARS *****

[@keciabella7088]

I love your videos. I love how easy you make everything to understand. I'm pretty simple and I like things explained that way. Although I get the feeling you are pretty complex, you explain things simply and I like that. I love my camera and I love to take pictures, I take pictures of everything. Thank you so much for your very awesome videos, I am sure your time is very valuable and I appreciate your knowledge and time.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Kecia Bella Thanks! Glad I could help!

[@fund-a-solarservice8046]

This video is great. Easy to follow and clear. The best D3300 tutorial I've seen so far on youtube.

[@19fabregas]

Bought this camera on Thursday. Great in depth tutorial to watch to get to know your camera

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Martin MacNeil Thanks, glad to help!

[@ChrisLincolnHomes]

Agreed. I just picked up the camera on the 31st and the video has been great. Thank you Tony!

[@michaelblackwell6194]

Just bought the D3300 for an intro camera but after watching your tutorial I'm going to keep it for a good while. THANK YOU, I'm subbing.

[@SteveSaxtonmusic]

Thanks Tony exactly the kind of video I wanted! Im currently looking for a telephoto lens for the D3300. Im in the process of letting go of using Auto mode and moving to Aperture mode thanks to your vid

[@dominickrodriguez3434]

Thank you sooooo much!! I received the D3400 for Christmas & love it, but the manual that comes with it is very limited. It doesn't explain how to use the "Fn," the "+/-," or the "AEL" "AF-L" buttons. You were very thorough! You make a great teacher!

[@MirBalachKhan]

Tony the Life Savior, after buying the camera I was feeling that I wasted my money - but with this tutorial, I am about to hit the Top... Great Tutorial...

[@philscomputerlab]

What a great video! I've got this camera ordered and was looking for a few guides to get a head-start in regards to using it. I've watched a few videos, but I liked yours the best. Also purchased the books as I find this all very interesting and want to learn more :)

[@TonyAndChelsea]

philscomputerlab thanks. And glad I could help!

[@meltwissa]

Thank you so much for this video! I bought the Nikon D3200 for over a year ago and while I knew a lot about it and there were a few extra tips that I am very grateful for in this video, I also have your book and the combination of the video and the book I think will really step up my photography. I was glad to see you recommend the AF-S 50mm f1.8 lens as it is the first lens I bought. Thank you once again for the video, I really enjoy the content you and your wife produce!

[@maristelching1594]

Very informative. I just purchased my D3300, I learned instantly from this video alone. Looking forward to watch more of his video tutorials. Bought the recommended accessories as well. Thank you!

[@tessag7418]

Thank you so much! I just bought this camera a few days ago as my first ever camera and this tutorial helped me understand it a lot better!

[@williamj.stilianessis1851]

Hi Tony, A friend of mine gave me his Nikon D3200 with an 18-55 kit lens. I was wondering how to use all the features and this video was an absolute must have. Wish I could package it up and take it around with me. I do have the Nikon manual that came with the camera but confusing is an understatement. You made it clear and to the point. Kudos.

[@tamalasmith589]

I just purchased a nikon d3300 and wanted to share my appreciation for such an awesome tutorial video. Woot Woot!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks!

[@lesleyharrington3319]

I've watched this a few times and it's a great tutorial. Lots of information at a great pace so you can do all the different steps on your own camera. Thank you for making this tutorial.

[@realjackbronco]

Well +Tony Northrup I pretty much spent the day in class learning from your wonderful teachings today! I thank you SO much! As it has been said in the past...when the student is ready - the teacher will appear!

[@jerryjcronin]

You are a fantastic teacher. I can now maximize the potential of my camera.

[@danielmelville6754]

Absolutely stellar timing! The D3300 will be my first ever camera as of this Thursday, and so buying the books made by yourself in addition to watching these guides should get me off the marks. Hopefully have some good quality images to share with you in a few months time ;)

[@lynnkazwell6189]

I enjoyed your video. It's new to digital cameras. I used a Olympus OM1. I was very intimidated at first. I watched your video twice,first to get a general idea of what my new camera could do. Second time was better because I played with my camera. I love you books and videos. Brings back the fire I had when I was younger!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Lynn Kazwell Thanks, and glad I could help!

[@daretoknow2019]

I've been using my D3300 for a few years but I still learned lots of helpful hints from this video. Thanks for posting this and for leaving it up.

[@imatekjam2005]

This should be used as a template as to how all instructional videos should be. Brilliant.

[@Ladywrip]

+imatekjam2005 I was thinking the same thing.

[@serenancn]

G-R-E-A-T Info!!! Unfettered, and down to earth...who wouldn't want to watch your videos!!! Was actually trying to find the best way to "tether" my 3300 to my computer (via software I know) for a shoot I have coming up.

[@cyndimoll5195]

Love your videos. You have an easy to listen to approach and I'm learning so much.

[@JackCastro]

So many features jampacked into this camera… Find myself coming back to this tutorial. Well done!

[@RuytonXI]

Thanks for this excellent tutorial Tony, I've had my D3300 for a while, but I've learned much better ways of using it from your video. Back button focusing is new to me, but I'm finding it very useful rather than just trusting the camera to choose what it thinks should be in focus.

[@codynautic]

This is by far the most helpful video. This guy is a good & simple speaker.

[@Jared-91]

Thanks for doing this video. Just got a D3300 and don't know much about DSLRs. I mainly take pictures of trains and airplanes. This will help me a great deal.

[@annie7768]

Loved your comparison between the D3300 and D5500. I have a D90 that I love but wanted a couple features that the 3300 and 5500 have that the D90 don't. Very helpful in choosing

[@kbrmbr]

Very informative session. I just bought this D3300 camera and re-started my photography after a long years ago. Thanks Tony for your informative and very helpful Vedio.

[@kourtneycox8749]

Fantastic tutorial. I have watched a few videos on this particular camera (I purchased it in Dec), but this, by far, was the most informative and helpful. Thank you for the great video.

[@maryswift5441]

I recently got a d3300 (my first dslr) and i thoughgt i knew everything about it but actually i learned some new things. so thanks for the video, very helpful

[@jacrose1761]

I've got the Fuji film s2 pro, and the s3 pro (both passed down from professional photographers then to my dad then me) and I just bought the nikon d3300 today and I'm super excited to start shooting.

[@RAF71chingachgook]

Just bought a used 3300. This was helpful. THANKS! Also, I've discovered your other videos. Really cool, really interesting. I watch what you and Chelsea do just because you two are so interesting - lol even on stuff I'm not fundamentally interested in. The video on color science was brilliant. It was a great case of defining human nature and actually helped me in doing market research for my employer (Ford Motor Co). The brand loyalty stuff and mindset issues helped me change our styling research questions. BRAVO!

[@OzzyHeadshots]

I love it. School in my pajamas. Avec popcorn. I wonder how many other students take plenty of blurry, overexposed, and underexposed photos of their slippers during your instructional videos. Thank you for another great learning experience.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

haha, you're welcome!

[@annetted5794]

This tutorial is great!! Thanks for making it all make sense. You are a gifted teacher Tony.

[@sydakmal]

I have D3400 and this video still relevant to me and i learnt a lot from it. Thanks Tony

[@Jessieiluke]

Great video. I am old fashion photographer - using black and white film. So, I'm used to having complete control of my camera setting... this video really made it easier to learn how to use the digital camera without using a user guide.

[@jessicad860]

Just got this camera for my birthday and this video was wonderful! I will be rewatching it several times

[@fariasluisangel]

Best tutorial video I've seen for my d3300! Thanks Tony!

[@strutter176]

This guy and his wife are brilliant. They explain everything so easily. I have even gone and got his book!!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks!

[@sarajanehaven]

Thank you for reviewing my new camera. I was overwhelmed with all the buttons and features and your video helped me focus on what was important to start shooting. I shot in RAW for the first time ever. Now to see if Picasa can fix what I couldn't seem to get right after an hour of still shots. I'm sure your book would help as well ;-)

[@ExposedRoot]

Thanks Tony. Just got a d3300, your book, etc. This tut is perfect and helped me set up my camera. I absolutely loved the auto focus button reassignment. Very excited. Thanks.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

ExposedRoot Glad to hear it! Enjoy!

[@aon10003]

Thanks for a good explaination of the 3200/3300. I.ve been using it daily for a year. (3200) Theres som remarks that i have to do. I would recommend the 18-105 in the kit if you can get it. The only drawback i can find is. Lack of adjustable size of RAW Pictures. If you do timeswap. And the focusing system could be more advanced, but we have to remember it's a bottom of the line camera, and it's a fantastic price value, like in in all modern DSLRs.

[@Anmol34]

I like your style, voice and dressing, and of course photography skills. I want to be like you, a little. Thank you for the video tutorial. I just got a D3300 a couple of days ago with 18-55 and 70-300, SD card and bag, all for $425. I've been experimenting with it a little.

[@bekkedgoods]

fantastic video, sitting on my hands waiting to pick up my D3300 tomorrow. Really enjoyed how proffessional it all was and even the disclosure on your suggestions is a nice touch. I'll look into the book if photography really catches me.. Thanks again!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

The Badger Glad it helped! Enjoy the new camera!

[@pedrosousa7254]

Hello Tony. Thanks for the awesome video and the hard work put into it, I think you've covered pretty much everything about the camera. I believe that you haven't mentioned the way to adjust the ISO in manual mode, so I thought I just add that info, which I think is important. If you press (and hold) the Fn button on the left side of the camera, you can adjust the ISO on the fly by rotating the main dial button. I find this very useful sometimes. Regards.

[@pedrosousa7254]

You did lol, sorry, my bad.

[@ChristineStolworthy]

Great info - thank you! Have some books, but it was so nice to be able to pause the tutorial and practice what you were describing.

[@gregoz6]

thanks, I just finished watching the rest of the video and took note of your recommendation, I will travel to Japan next month, the price is much lower over there than here in Canada. thx again.

[@519Trishers]

Thank you for making the learning curve much easier with the D3300.

[@tundewilburn2720]

Thanks Tony! Great walkthrough. I have the D3300. I also bought your first book and have just started going through it. I have always wanted to learn more. You and Chelsea are great!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Tunde wilburn Thanks! Enjoy it!

[@Zacheldridge]

You are awesome. Loving my new 3300 even more now! You're book is such a great resource for a budding newbie such as myself.

[@OurHearthandHome]

What a big help your video was for me! You made it easy for me to understand! Thank you!!!!

[@MrRichBenn]

Very well done! Beginners would do well to buy your books, if they are as informative as this. One very minor correction - there IS a benefit with this camera and a faster SD card, for some users. The buffer in the D3300 is very small, so after 6 shots (raw plus jpeg), the camera slows down. Get an SD card that does 75 MB/sec writes or better, and it never slows down until the card fills up. Not an issue for most, but maybe for sports photographers. There is a "camera memory test" web site (google it) that tests different camera/card combinations, and two cards they tested on the D3100 kept up. Be aware that many cards just advertise read speeds; it's the write speed that needs to be fast for this.

[@celestia8165]

+MrRichBenn thank you for that.

[@Kevin-ug3qd]

+MrRichBenn agree with this

[@chriskay3058]

+MrRichBenn Always choose a Class 10 or better card.

[@geimzz]

with my D5300, which is almost identical, I use a 90 mb/s card, yet it lasts only like 12 shots

[@chriskay3058]

What is the capacity of the card? Do you shoot NEF + JPEG? Or just NEF? Twelve shots should not be filling up an entire card, no matter what the size. Also, do you format after you have removed the pictures from the card?

[@jonnymac1505]

Great overview on the camera. I love the Nikon 35mm F1.8G lens on my D3300 and use it much more than the 50mm F1.8G but they are both great lenses and surprisingly cheap.

[@daver3353]

I've had my d3200 for a couple of years but still found your video very usefull and picked up some great tips. Thanks :-)

[@v1ncn7]

I don't get it why people think aperture values are confusing. Sure, they are the other way around but if you change the value, you see that a smaller number means a brighter picture. Once you get that you're done.

[@LeslieRonald]

Bought your book just now. Great book. Looking forward to completing it & mastering the techniques. Thanks Tony.Leslie

[@SaulTiberiusNads]

Really helpful video, Tony. Thanks very much from across the pond :)

[@ninacr]

Thanks for this amazing video! It was very very helpful. I have the D3200 and this showed me lots of things I haven't yet discovered. Also great tip on the flash, Ill go with the one you recommended and save a couple hundred:)

[@ControlTouchMaster]

It's 2020 and I own a Canon 6D Mark II as well as a Canon M50, but still use my Nikon D3300 and D3400 cameras. I keep the Nikon cameras in my vehicle just in case I see something interesting to photograph. I also use them with a interval timers and AC adaptors as a second cameras taking pictures from a different angle when I'm photographing with one of my newer cameras. They still work flawlessly taking clean sharp photos. I, however, will not use the Nikon cameras for video. I don't like the autofocus in video with the Nikon cameras. I use Sony camcorders for video.

[@javierjfjf]

[@theroyalpotato8390]

watched this with my d3300 in hand and can honestly say the seemingly daunting task of getting to know this new piece of tech actually became a breeze. I got this camera so I could shoot my of reference material for papercutting but now I'm thinking I could do quite a bit more with this camera. Perhaps that has bin the greatest thing about watching this tutorial with the thing in hand, I geared up for drudging through this unavoidable evil of getting to know a new piece of machinery (In case it isn't clear, I don't do tech. ever.) only to realize this evil piece of machinery somewhere during the video turned into a toy. believe me I didn't see that one coming.
