Nikon is not a new name in the photography market. They have made a name for themselves with quality DSLR cameras. The Nikon D3300 and its predecessor the Nikon D3200 are no different. The two are quite similar in appearance. This makes it hard to choose between the two. An in-depth analysis of their key features will help us decide which Nikon rocks more!
Both Nikons have the same sensor size and resolutions. The only difference, in the make of their sensors, is that the Nikon D3300 lacks a low-pass filter. This improves on image sharpness and detail. The downside to this is that a low-pass filter actually prevents the occurrence of moire in certain scenes. Continuous shooting is also different in the two cameras. The D3200 offers 5fps (frames per second) while the D3300 offers 4fps. (Read also : Nikon D3200 vs. Nikon D5300)

In the competitive field of professional photography, that changes. The slight difference makes all the difference!
The Nikon D3300 boasts of Higher ISO performance. If you plan to work in low light intensities, go with it. On the flipside, the Nikon D3200 has a higher dynamic range. Scenes with a high brightness range, like a sunrise, will look better under the D3200 lens. It also comes with a flash sync port which the D3300 lacks.
