The Nikon D3400 is a lightweight, entry-level APS-C DSLR introduced in 2016 with a 24.2 MP sensor, EXPEED 4 processor, and Bluetooth SnapBridge. It offers excellent image quality and long battery life but lacks Wi-Fi, an articulating screen, and advanced video/audio features.
The Canon EOS Rebel T7 two-lens kit pairs the entry-level DSLR's 24.1 MP sensor with a versatile 18-55mm and 75-300mm lens combo, delivering solid image quality and Wi-Fi, but it still lacks modern speed and video features.
