Nikon D3300 replacement rumored to be announced this year (D3500?)

Nikon-D3500-DSLR-camera-rumors
The Nikon D3300 camera is rumored to be replaced in 2016. I do not have an exact date, but there is a very good chance that the next camera announcement could be the D3500 (or D3400?). The new camera will be compatible with SnapBridge and is expected to have a 24MP sensor – this is all I have for now.

Stay tuned for more information.

I am a photographer from the Netherlands. I travel and shoot abandoned buildings and structures. You can see my work at urbex.nl . After exploring most European countries I made the photographers’ ultimate trip to the Exclusion Zone of the Chernobyl power plant.
The Chernobyl disaster took place on April 1986, which will be exactly 30 years ago this month. Failures during a system test of the nuclear power plant lead to explosions in its core. Large quantities of radioactive particles were released into the atmosphere which then spread over much of the western U.S.S.R. and Europe. The Chernobyl disaster was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history in terms of costs and casualties.
