To be honest, the only reason why I bought this was because all modern digital cameras lack the manual control functionalities of the camera. Nowadays, everything is "automatically" managed by the computer within the camera which, in most cases, ruins the pictures.I am so glad that I made the switch to this camera! It does everything that my other cameras does not do! It allows me to manually adjust the focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and so much more!I will admit that the camera can be a bit "much" to those who are new to the DSLR universe, but I will say that after you play with the camera for a while, you will know all of the menus, options and their locations like a pro!What I love about this camera is that you have the ability to switch out the stock lens for a macro lens (those insane close up photos) or for a telephoto lens (for those far distant pictures) if you choose! For me, personally, the stock lens does more than enough, but if I have the urge to buy one of the other lenses, I can do that because the camera is made for expand-ability!Contrary to what others may say, personally, I believe that the JPEG images are super clean and crisp. While you are not supposed to use JPEGs for post-production, I believe you can get away with some minor post with these files. They are so clean with no visible JPEG compression artifacts! It's a shame that the NEF RAW format is not widely supported, but once it is, I would switch over as soon as possible to get all the color information you need from your photos!A little notice to new consumers: When you turn off your camera, disable the WIFI on your camera. I accidentally left the WIFI on and forgot about it. The camera, while in the "OFF" position, can still use WIFI, which will drain your battery quickly. But, on a full charge, if WIFI is turned off and dependent on your usage of the camera, the battery can last quite some time!All in all, I think that this camera is a steal for it's price! For those who want to experience a DSLR camera without breaking the bank, I will definitely get this camera before they're all gone!(I took 2 pictures of the camera, one with a more practical use of the camera, to show off the color reproduction. I took a photo of the grass in my backyard. The colors in that picture could not have been any closer to reality than it is in the photo! The second picture is a test to push the "macro" aspect of the stock lens to it's limits. It's a closeup of my TV, where you can see the subpixel elements. For me, it's a good-enough macro lens, but if I want to see the solder holding the pixels together, I have that option if I think the macro lens is a good investment!)

The d3500 is smaller, lighter and has a considerably longer battery life in comparison to the d3400. The controls are completely on the right side of the camera, which some larger-handed folks have mentioned as a down-side, however with the new redesigned grip I find it advantageous to be able to change the settings with one hand (I also have banana-hands). When taking continuous shots there is a bit of a longer buffer time, however this does correlate with the card being used so paired with a faster memory card say, a SanDisk extreme pro, you're in a much better position. For an entry level camera such as this one, you're actually able to pump up the ISO quite a bit before seeing that digital noise, which is impressive. The ISO shortcut has been removed on the d3500 from the d3400, but that's a minor issue for me. Low light photography lacked the brilliant colors seen with the naked eye, however a super quick tune up with the camera raw filter in photoshop and that was easily amended. Honestly the only thing that really chaps my ass is the removal of remote photography. I've ended up using the remote photography feature on the Nikon Snapbridge app for my phone (using bluetooth), however if you'd rather not deal with that fuss you can always select a timer. Pair this bad boy with a Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.8G and boom, awesome intro set up for portrait photography. Love it! (just fyi all of these photos were taken with the kit lens f/3.5-5.6 18-55mm)

My husband bought this for me as a birthday gift. I’ve been wanting to pick up photography as a little hobby and this camera is perfect for me! It was easy to learn how to use and the quality of the photos are great. I did buy a new 35mm 1.8 lens which I feel is necessary for portraits, but the kit lens works fine!

Don’t underestimate the quality of this thing. I’ve probably taken thousands of pictures at this point with it and you can definitely get good quality. It’s a good a starter camera and I’ve had it for 2 years now. Finally looking to upgrade soon :)

The more I use it the more I like it. I am not a photographer and was afraid to even pick it up at first. I do not use automatic settings and my pictures looked very bad at first but I am learning and already my pics look ok (great interface with settings). This camera has all I need for now. I actually enjoy experimenting and the process of taking pictures.

I really shopped around and read tons of reviews when I considered a camera. I wanted to take good photos and not rely only on my phone. This is a light weight, easy camera to use. I feel like my photos are so much better. And it is super easy to wirelessly transfer my photos to my phone. They just go. Nice! I am really enjoying this camera and it's a Nikon...enough said.

Muy buena cámara para empezar en la fotografÃa. Tengo alrededor de 3 meses con ella y ha cumplido mis expectativas. RecomendarÃa practicar un poco con el lente incluido y después comprar un lente prime y verás mejores resultados. En si muy buena cámara para principiantes. Si tus posibilidades económicas son amplias entonces definitivamente pensarÃa en una d7500 que ofrece más opciones, pero bueno si empiezas en fotografÃa es excelente cámara. El Iso creo que es lo único que no me gusta, a partir de 3200 hay ruido notable pero de allà para arriba no me late :/ Pero bueno estoy empezando y la verdad es una buena inversión.

You can buy this with your eyes closed and be assured of a great deal. It is truly an advanced camera for the beginners as well as the professionals alike. I am an amateur and this must be my 10th camera including the 7th digital one. It feels great to hold it in the hand. Non-slippery ergonomic and beautiful body with all the controls adequately spaced and close to each other by moving the fingers slightly. Whether you use manual or automatic, or you wish to click jpeg or RAW, pictures are just great. You have a choice of optimizing your picture quality and fineness. Focusing is great. Additional manual focus ring besides the automatic is a boon. Viewfinder is great. Shutter release focusing as well as clicking is smooth and fast. Processing to write the images is superfast. Camera adjustments are easy and versatile for the beginner or the advanced user. If you are new, you can be well guided into photographing. What more you need, great pictures, done at ease with or without applying your mind. Depends, how you wish it to use it, it would stand by you like a good camera. Buy it with your eyes closed and enjoy the pictures you wish to take.

Mi è arrivata da poco, per ora tutto ok. Il prodotto già lo conoscevo, ed è una macchina davvero ottima, non solo per principianti. Sulle istruzioni c'è scritto garanzia Europa, e con fattura che vi rilascia dovreste avere una garanzia in tutta l'Europa, quindi anche Italia, per due anni. Il venditore è molto disponibile e ha sempre risposto tempestivamente ai miei dubbi.
