The Nikon D3300 with AF-S DX 18-55mm VR is a variant using the original non-collapsible VR zoom rather than the VR II collapsible version. The D3300 body provides the same 24.2MP no-OLPF sensor for maximum sharpness with the stabilised AF-S kit zoom.

Build quality is entry Nikon with compact dimensions. The non-collapsible VR zoom is slightly larger than the VR II but provides the same essential stabilised everyday coverage with reliable AF-S motor autofocus.
The D3300 with original VR zoom offers stabilised maximum-sharpness Nikon at budget pricing. The VR stabilisation and 24.2MP no-OLPF sensor provide genuine quality at minimal cost.
