is anyone else waiting for their Nikon D3300 but you are so excited so you just watch the videos to pass the time quicker until you get it? 👌

I bought this camera yesterday. I'm a total DSLR newbie so I'm super stoked to find this video! I hope by the time I get my camera, I'll be comfortable enough to play around with it right away!

Thank you so much for this video. I know you posted it quite a while ago, but I just purchased a Nikon D3300 this week and your tutorial made everything clear that the manual made confusing. I truly appreciate it.

So grateful for the help, I just got home with this camera, and the man at the camera store told me to come home and watch the YouTube video on the use of this camera. Thank You So much

I know it's an old camera and an old video, but I just adopted this camera from my daughter who has moved on from it and it's an upgrade for me. I'm finding your video series on the D3300 super helpful. Thank you!

How convenient for me that you have both of my cameras! I bought a D3300 kit and due to privately buying lenses and extras, I ended up with a D5100 as well!! These videos have all been extremely helpful, as sitting down with the manual and DSLR for dummies books, was never my strong point!! Thankyou! Your videos are well done and have been a great help to setting up my cameras and understanding the principles better! Lewis, Germany.

Just purchased this camera yesterday. I received the lens, a memory card, and wifi adapter all in a package. Very light weight and I'm very happy with it

[LiamSilverman]

I keep the lens cap on and get fabulous pictures. It's a nice filter.

A superb tutorial Tom, it has given me a good insight on understanding  the basics, without just pressing buttons and not knowing what they do.
10 out of 10 mate.

Gonna dip my toe into the world of dslr photography and cant wait to get  a Nikon d3300 . I have watched this video and really cant wait, I have also subscribed so when I do get my camera I shall be back . I have read a few books on photography but they are very confusing and assume you know about all the different functions and jargon , whereas you make me feel more confident and I look forward to looking at more of your videos, thanks.
