In terms of specifications, the D5600 is actually nigh-on identical to the D5500 with just a few small improvements. The biggest one, or at least, the one most worthy of mention, is the addition of SnapBridge – Nikon's innovative Bluetooth technology (more on that later).

24.3MP APS-C sensor; Articulated touchscreen LCD; Records time-lapse sequences in camera; Features Nikon SnapBridge image sharing app; Lightweight DSLR; 3.5mm mic input

Very similar to D5500; No 4K-video recording; Touchscreen cannot be disabled; Struggles to keep focus on fast erratically moving subjects

In terms of its headline specifications, the D5600 is almost identical to the D5500 it replaces. That said, the newer model does benefit from a few useful new features. Chief among these is the addition of Nikon's proprietary SnapBridge technology that uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tech for...

Very good image quality; Small and lightweight; Excellent touchscreen and general handling; SnapBridge makes light work of image transfer

Touchscreen can't be disabled; JPEGs can be a bit on the dark side

Being connected - it's all the rage. Of all the slogans used by Nikon for its cameras, "Always share your moments" seems most apt with the Nikon D5600. The D5600 is the sixth iteration of the well-established Nikon D5000 series - a DSLR camera range with APS-C size sensor - which is positioned one...

Impressive image quality - especially in low light; big and vibrant tilt LCD touchscreen; small body with comfortable grip; exccellent battery life; seamless auto-upload of web-ready images to phone

Video AF remains behind competitors; not many reasons to pick this over cheaper predecessor; feature set doesn't stand out

The D5600 is Nikon's latest consumer-oriented SLR, designed for people who are serious about photography but who aren't necessarily aspiring professionals. Features such as a 39-point autofocus system, articulated touchscreen, built-in Wi-Fi and microphone socket differentiate it from the...

Outstanding image quality; Sophisticated autofocus; Long battery life

Some functions are awkward to access; Slow shot-to-shot times in live view mode

Lightweight and compact with everything the family photographer needs, the Nikon D5600 maintains its position as a great general-purpose dSLR for its price class.

The Nikon D5600 delivers excellent photo quality for its price class; as well as performance that can keep up with your kids and pets

It may be too small for people with larger hands and it turns off the self-timer after every shot in single-shot mode

Bought this for my daughter for her first professional camera, she has it out everyday. I am amazed how clear the pics are and how easy it was for her to use. It is a sturdy and good quality product. Considering we bought over the holidays, the Harvey team were exceptional. Thanks Harvey :)

As an upgrade to the D5500, the D5600 is a touch underwhelming - just like the D3400 update to the D3300, the changes are modest at best, while the SnapBridge technology featured still needs to be refined and become more stable.

Excellent image quality; Comfy handgrip; Decent AF system; Touchscreen interface

SnapBridge needs work; Only 1080p video; Pricey compared to rivals

Smartphone cameras are amazing, for what they are. So are many of the compact digital cameras, especially the super-zooms from Canon and Nikon. But I grew up when film was "it", and I missed the versatility and expandability of single-lens reflexes.

Only had a month, have not explored all the features. So far nice sharp images even in poor light. Good Value. Lighter weight than I expected and a little smaller than my previous Sony Alpha DSLR. Closeup auto focusing is a little funky.

The Nikon D5600 is an update to the Nikon D5500 , Nikon's mid-range consumer DSLR, and features built-in Bluetooth along with compatibility with Nikon's Snapbridge app. The camera has a 3.2-inch tilting touch-screen, and one of the smallest DSLR bodies available.
