There isn't much that separates this and the Cannon EOS 1200D, except the £60 price difference, so if you've got a preference over Nikon to Cannon then that's the only reason I can think of to pick this. Don't get me wrong, this is a great entry level DSLR Camera and you would be more than happy with the results it gives. Some of the features of this camera are it's small and lightweight, the D3300 has a 24.2 megapixel, 23.5 x 15.6 mm CMOS sensor with remarkable light sensitivity that produces amazingly sharp images. It performs well in low light with an ISO range of 100 to 12800 (extendable to 25600). Your images will be packed with fine textures and natural colours to really capture the atmosphere of whichever situation you find yourself in. Capture clear, colourful photographs in all manner of lighting conditions as the camera's EXPEED 4 image processor goes to work, delivering gorgeous photos every time. You also get a versatile zoom lens which can make a big improvement to your photography skills.
