The D3400 features an SDHC/SDXC memory card slot and supports UHS-I type memory cards (maximum 104MB/s speed). Luckily, these cards are super affordable and available from all major memory card brands.
Our favorite memory card is the SanDisk Extreme PRO 32GB. It’s super fast (95MB/s) and affordable, plus SanDisk is the most reliable memory card company out there.
Below you will find our best choices. They’re all fast enough to be used for both video and continuous shooting without experiencing any delay.
Best memory cards for Nikon D3400:
SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB
Our top pick: The fastest card tested with the Nikon D3400 is SanDisk Extreme PRO 32GB (95MB/s). It’s cheap, super fast and excellent for bursts, RAW shooting and videos. The 32GB version costs $21, but if you’re also into videos and often travel, the 64GB may be a better deal as it’s cheaper than buying two separate 32GB models.

Lexar Professional UHS-I 32GB
The Lexar Professional 633x 32GB U3 also comes with Image Rescue 5 software (review here). Both memory card brands are fast and reliable, but the included software will save you from headaches if you accidentally delete your shots (it happens to all of us).

Transcend UHS-I 16GB
Transcend is another popular brand with more reviews on Amazon than most cards, and their Transcend 16GB UHS-I card is super cheap but also slightly slower, so I recommend it only if you occasionally use your Nikon D3400.

If you’ve found any other card, make sure it’s from a good brand like Lexar, SanDisk, Transcend or Toshiba, and that the speed is over 45MB/s (UHS-I type best as you can use it in newer cameras too).
