Nikon's entry-level D5600 still shoots impressive images for the right price.

Very good 24MP stills; Fast autofocus; Bluetooth (SnapBridge; Superior battery life; Small; lightweight body

Contrast-detection-only live view AF; Video limited to 1080p/60; Most specs unchanged from D5500

Nikon has once again created a solid budget-priced DSLR with the D5600. Images are solid, speed is decent and the camera is well designed. The D5600 lacks the more advanced autofocus system of the D7200 and the speed of the D500 , but it would be difficult to look at three photographs and determine...

Excellent image quality; Bluetooth and Wi-fi; Tilting touchscreen; Compact; Well priced

Slower than pricier options; No dual control wheels or secondary LCD screen; No image quality updates over the cheaper D5500

The Nikon D5600 is a relatively minor update to the D5500, which was already an excellent SLR. The big addition is SnapBridge, which uses Bluetooth to make file transfers seamless, as well as adding GPS data to images.

24MP image sensor with no OLPF; Excellent image quality; 39-point AF system; 5fps continuous shooting; Speedy operation; 1080p60 video capture; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication; External mic support

Cramped controls; Pentamirror viewfinder; Older screw-drive lenses won't autofocus; Underwhelming contrast autofocus during video recording; Limited Wi-Fi remote control

The 24-megapixel Nikon D5600 DSLR delivers the same great image quality as its predecessor but now comes equipped with Nikon SnapBridge functionality. While not without its limitations, sharing images has never been easier and the D5600 remains a compelling compact DSLR for budding photographers.

Compact camera body; Very good touchscreen display; Excellent image quality for its class; Good overall performance

Not many improvements compared to its predecessor, with some downgrades; No 4K video recording

The 24-megapixel Nikon D5600 ($800 with 18-55mm AF-P lens) replaces its predecessor, the D5500, as our favorite DSLR under $1,000. Although a modest update, the new model features SnapBridge, a technology that allows easy image transfer from camera to mobile device, along with a couple of additional...

Top-notch image quality; Responsive performance; Very good battery life External microphone jack; Easy transfer of images to mobile devices; Solid set of practical and creative features

Minimal manual control for video; No 4K video; Sometimes-fussy Wi-Fi

The D5600 is a very subtle revision of the D5500 but that sole added feature – always-connected smartphone transfer – has the potential to be a massive benefit to its target market.

The Nikon D5000 series debuted its first camera in 2009, and since then new versions have emerged over time. Now...

The new Nikon D5600 is a midrange DSLR camera based around a 24.2-megapixel DX-format (APS-C) sensor. The sensor offers the same resolution as the previous D5500. The same goes for the image processor-the Expeed 4 system-that was used in the D5500, which was launched two years ago (January 2015).

Nikon's new D5600 is the successor to the company's D5500, but it is not much of an upgrade. It adds the SnapBridge app support with Bluetooth and Near Field Communications (NFC). Thus, a constant connection between the D5600 and a smartphone or tablet can be maintained for quick transfer of images.

My first experience with a Nikon camera was the D80. I am far from an accomplished photographer, but I made an upgrade to the D5600 last month. I could not be more thrilled. The ease of use, wi-fi, blue tooth, special effects, the display screen has been more than I could have hoped for.
