I have had the same experience, and will shut notifications off. The Worst part is that for the last 3 days or so they have only notified me about OJ Simpson. Once us enough.

I have a Nikon 3400 and have used both Nikon and off brand batteries. In my experience, Nikon batteries perform better and last longer. Off brand work fine for a while with less use time per charge, but when they start to go, they tend to swell and get stuck in the battery compartment.

Hi JC, I recommend the Best Nikon DX DSLR the D500 it's fully compatible With your Lenses. I have had a D500 for 4yrs it's a great well built solid camera. Plus all the controls are right were they need to be. The menus give you so many options. You can even make your own custom menu for the features you rely on most. Plus it has 25 mega pixels, 153 AF points for focus
Plus Nikon's excellent Xspeed 5 processor. You can find them Refurbished like new for great prices. And if you want to add lenses there are plenty excellent used ones available. My D500 in now my 2nd body. I purchased A D850 FX body and several lenses last year because since I started a Part Time professional photography business and I needed the Resolution of 47mp for weddings, Portraits and real estate work. Hope this helps with your decision.

I have 4 of the 5000 series, 5100, 5200, 5300 and 5600. All have the fully articulated screen (previously referred to as the flippy screen) I like all of these bodies and find the cameras do what I need. I use your plan by permanently mounting the lenses to the camera and not having to change a lens. If I buy something new then I change it at home. I use a 16-80mm Nikon lens, the 200-500mm Nikon lens, the 55mm micro lens and the 70-300mm.

Sometimes I change out for a 50mm lens, but the short telephoto 16-80 gives me the range without having to change lenses. I have some other lenses that I don't use very much. I also have some old lenses that require manual everything. I'm too lazy to spend the time playing with them.

At 75, I have to lift weights to have the strength to lift up the 200-50mm, but I really like it a lot. I can stand up in my SUV and use the open roof to shoot photos too. I have things I can put on the roof to give me stability. It also reduces the chance of being eaten or trampled in National Parks. Good luck in your search.

At 24MP, the D3400 is more pixel resolution than some of Nikon's later DX models. It's small size pairs well with the small 18-55. The camera was released on 2016 and discontinued in 2018. If you go with this entry-level model, get it used and as cheap as possible. I'd try for one in the sub $200 USD range.

For moveable screen, entry-level, small, and 24MP, look too at the D5500 / D5600 options.


My current camera is the D3400. I'm looking to upgrade.

It might help to know what this 'second' camera would be 2nd to relative to your primary body. As others have noted, you'd be better served with a newer / final Nikon DX DSLR, or jumping directly to a DX format mirrorless.


I live near the beach on the north shore of the Dominican Republic. It is hot humid, and often breezy with blowing dust and sand.

I often use two lenses a 18-55 mm and my go to lens 70-300 mm. It would be good if I could mount the 70-300 on the new body and the 18-55 on my D3400 and keep the sand and dust out of the equation.

I am considering buying a new, refurbished, or very good used Nikon DX camera and using my D3400 as a second body. I love the D3400 but find myself wanting something that I can have a tilting screen and that will give more tethering options as I would like to try some astrophotography. I would also like a body with better video options. I looked through the archives but couldn't find a previous post to answer my question.

Any thoughts or other references?

Thank you!

It was from Olympics coverage when they did a in depth look at one of the athletes.

At first I didn't like the new forum format. That is until I discovered the section filter. I actually like this view better than the old format. I just wish I could it as my default view for the forum. Any thoughts?

I agree. The new format doesn't work for me. It wasn't broke so you shouldn't have tried to fix it.

I have seen a few examples on Deviant Art, and created a couple myself, that have excellent eyes. It often requires "Inpainting" to fix the eyes and face. I often peruse Deviant Art and try to tell the AI vs actual photos vs other types of digital art. I mostly get it right, but I have been fooled enough to know there are some excellent AI artists out there.
