Being a beginner photographer I wanted something to last but not make me go bankrupt. My dad has a mirror less camera and it's was to skinny and thin, I thought he wasted his money.

Good camera specially for beginners... arrived on time... loved it

A great price for a great product, often referred to as an entry-level camera, but interms of features and functionality far from it. It does have in built tutorials that talk you through the process of the type of photo you are trying to take, so entry in that sense, but that's all.

Bought this little kit January 2019 It has never let me down. As a novice photographer this is perfect for learning how to handle such a machine. Will be upgrading my lens collection soon as i want to branch out. Playing about with the different settings is the best way to learn. Money well spent.

My first DSLR and I have not been disappointed. It is at the budget end of the market but has a great 24mp sensor and most of the bells and whistles a beginner to serious photography will need. I have been impressed with the photo quality and it has some great built in help for those learning.

As an entry level photographer, this is all you need, great value getting the twin lenses compared to buying separately. Easy to use as well. If you want a camera that has all the bits and bobs but don't want to go overboard, get this one!

I'm working my way through all the fuctions of the camara, but have to say I am very pleased with its performance so far.

I do enjoy using this camera with the 18-55mm kit lens when I don't feel like carting all of my FF equipment around. However, there is one large annoyance: having to use a menu to change major settings, especially ISO! Also, the viewfinder could be a bit better.

The Nikon D3500 is an ideal first DSLR for photographers wanting more than their smartphone can deliver.

After owning Minolta, Canon and Pentax over the years I finally purchased a Nikon DSLR. The package deal was very attractive and affordable so I dove in and have been playing with the lenses and camera ever since. Coming from my experience with 35mm film SLRs I've adapted to the D3500 pretty well.
