I've had a series of digital camera over the years but finally went for a DSLR. This one is superb, quick to focus, exposure excellent. It has an amazing range of settings. Couldn't have hoped for a better quality product.

So let me start of by saying I'm not one to normally leave a review. But I felt this could help out some lower budget, beginners like myself. I have always wanted a nice entry DSLR to see if it was my cup of tea, and do to an upcoming obligation I needed a hobby to get myself through the next year...

I absolutely love this camera. It has great features like Bluetooth sync to your phone. It's also very easy to use and very user-friendly with guide mode to guide you as well as coming with online classes to teach you how to use your camera good quality and the photo quality is amazing!

Nikon's latest entry into the budget DSLR category, the D3500 is bundled with an AF-P DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G lens, which offers great results for a kit lens. Under the hood, you'll find a brand new 24.2MP sensor, ISO range of 100-25,600 – perfect for low-light shooting – and nippy 5fps continuous...

The D3500 is a fine entry-level camera, especially for use at home. It has plenty of automatic features for family historians who care more about preserving memories than learning the ins and outs of f-stops, and also has the Guide Mode for those who want to take some creative control, but aren't...

Compact; Affordable; 24MP resolution; 5fps continuous shooting; Automatic image transfer via Bluetooth; In-camera shooting guide for beginners

Fixed LCD omits touch support; Contrast-based live view focus not ideal for video; No mic input

The clue is in the title. Entry-level. This is great value for an entry-level camera and can produce some stunning images. Sure, there are features that are missing, and some that you wouldn't expect on such a low-priced piece of kit. Overall, it's a great camera at an even better price.

I bought this item just after christmas and can't put it down, I've been interested in photography for a while and read great reviews on this product. It did not disappoint, it's perfect for beginners and it gives you the opportunity to develop your skills with guide mode and all the different...

Great camera so far. Very user friendly. However I am going to have to buy a cable to connect the camera to my laptop in order to use my photos. The Nikon Snapbridge app is useless. After spending over an hour trying to connect to my camera I was unable to download a single picture using the app.

Beautiful photos User friendly for beginners

Snapbridge app doesn't work AT ALL..

The Nikon D3500 is an entry-level DSLR for beginners. It's a modest upgrade over the popular D3400, with the same 24.2 megapixel resolution but a redesigned body and improved battery life.

Good quality kit lens; Very good image quality; Fast and silent autofocus; Unexpectedly snappy live view; Great for keen learners; Value for money

Fixed rear screen; Video is HD rather than 4K; Chunky compared to a mirrorless camera

If you're looking to get more creative with your photography, and looking for your first DSLR, the Nikon D3500 is hard to beat.

Remarkable 1,550-shot battery life; Excellent image quality; Handy Guide mode; Compact proportions for a DSLR; Easy to use

No 4K video; No touchscreen control; Bluetooth; but no Wi-Fi
