<p>One of the biggest camera releases unveiled at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show was the Nikon D3300 - an entry-level DSLR that sits above the D3200 and D3100 in the manufacturer's line-up.</p><p>Although the image sensor remains the same as that found in its predecessors, the D3300 uses Nikon's latest Expeed 4 image processor, which was first introduced a few months ago inside the D5300. The latest processor allows an improved sensitivity range and faster continuous shooting - an ability that has been achieved with each new release of a Nikon D3000-series camera since the D3100's launch in August 2010.Nikon D3300 - Key features</p><p>The Nikon D3300 features a 24.2-million-pixel, DX-format CMOS sensor, and while it may not seem any different to the D3200's sensor on paper, the newer model lacks an optical low-pass filter in an effort to preserve maximum image resolution and sharpness. Without conducting our own resolution tests back in the studio, we're unable to comment on the output differences between the D3200 and the D3300 at this stage, but we're expecting to see subtle improvements when images are viewed at close magnification.</p><p>This combination of the latest sensor and the improved Expeed 4 processor provides a 1EV wider sensitivity range than was available on the D3200. The older camera has a sensitivity ceiling of ISO 6400 (expandable to ISO 12,800), whereas the D3300 can shoot up to ISO 12,800 with an option to expand it to ISO 25,600 when required.</p><p><a href="http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/reviews/dslrs/129480/1/nikon-d3300-hands-on-review">Keep reading...</a></p>
