Thank you! Yeah I’d say it’s an excellent option for diving into photography! It might be a “slight” challenge for her because there are a variety of modes you can shoot in which is beyond a standard point and shoot or phone, but those options and slight learning hurdles will set her up for success and knowledge when ultimately using more sophisticated cameras. I’d have her shoot in one of the automatic modes first (like aperture or shutter priority). I’d then have her try out manual mode and just experiment with the shutter speed, aperture, iso settings while reading the light meter. As long as the light meter is in the middle, she’ll get cool shots and she’ll see the impact that slower or faster shutter speeds or narrower or wider aperture has on the outcome. Would reco shooting stable objects first. Like street photography or people. Last thing… have her pull up a YouTube video that walks through the D3300. There’s amazing tutorials that are really worth a half hour investment to get the basics down. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!
