What is the difference between Nikkor AF-S and AF-P?

Is Nikon D3400 discontinued?
The D3400 was superseded as Nikon’s entry-level camera by the D3500 in August 2018.
What is a Nikon 18-55mm lens used for?
The 18mm is a moderate wide-angle lens that is great for landscapes, architecture, and environmental portraiture. The 55mm end makes for a short telephoto lens, ideal for compressing perspective when taking portraits or closing in on small details.
Can I use AF lens on Nikon D3400?
AF-S is the universal Nikon auto-focus lens system, and as such, works on all DSLR cameras including the D3400.
Will AF-S lens work on D3400?
The D3400 only autofocuses with the latest AF-S lenses. The D3400 will not work with any lens with an aperture ring, even if it’s AF-S. Most non-Nikon lenses from Tamron, Tokina, Quantaray, Sigma and anyone other than Nikon may not autofocus at all on the D3400.
Why is AF-P cheaper than AF-S?
The only difference between the new AF-P models is that the cheaper lens does not have Nikon’s VR image stabilization system. AF-S is universal, as it refers to the silent wave focusing system, and should work with all autofocus capable cameras.
What does VR mean on Nikon lens?
Vibration Reduction
Glossary. Vibration Reduction (VR) is an image stabilization technology that minimizes blur caused by camera shake.

Do all Nikon lenses fit all cameras?
Originally Answered: Do all nikon lenses work on all nikon cameras? Yes, except for very old models before 1959. It will “fit” because Nikon has the same bayonet mount called the Nikon-F mount which hasn’t changed since 1959! So all the lenses are interchangeable with film SLR and DX and FX bodies.
Does the Nikon D3400 have AF-S?
AF-S lenses use Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and rely on rotational energy to focus a lens’s optics. AF-S is the universal Nikon auto-focus lens system, and as such, works on all DSLR cameras including the D3400.
