Let me start off by saying that using the Nikon D5600 reminded me a lot of using one of my favourite digital cameras, the Nikon D90. It’s so easy to use and offers great-quality images with little effort, allowing you to focus on finding a picture, rather than fiddling with menu settings.

First introduced in November 2016 , Nikon D5600 is a 24.0MP Entry-Level DSLR camera with a APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor, Fully articulated touch screen and Nikon F lens mount. Nikon replaced the older D5500 with this model.

As the sixth-generation model in the series, the D5600 shares a lot in common with its predecessor, the D5500 . It features the same or similar DX-format 24-MP (APS-C) CMOS sensor without AA filter and Expeed 4 processor that delivers 14-bit compressed NEFs at up to 4fps (5fps at 12-bit), as well as...

The lure of the Nikon D5600 DSLR is that it is an affordable, entry-level route into interchangeable lens photography, for those whose heads are not immediately turned by the latest desirable mirrorless model.

The Nikon D5600 might just be the perfect gift this holiday as it is packed with features that will surely sweep any beginner off their feet, but is it a more worthy upgrade or first choice compared to its predecessor?

Nikon sprinkles a tiny pinch of update dust on the D5600, a minor improvement to its small but excellent and inexpensive D5500 dSLR.

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.

Just a few years ago, if you wanted to buy an entry-level or midrange interchangeable lens camera, an SLR was the clear way to go. Now, mirrorless models like the Sony Alpha 6000 are more appealing options, especially if you value video recording. But there's a case to be made for the old-fashioned SLR, and Nikon's D5600 ($699.95, body only) is a strong traditional model with an optical viewfinder and an attractive price, especially if you already have some Nikkor lenses on hand. It has a solid autofocus system, offers seamless wireless transfer, and excellent image quality. It falls shy of our Editors' Choice, which remains the Canon EOS Rebel T6s, but won't disappoint photographers on the Nikon side of the fence. Design The D5600's ($596.95 at Amazon) body is slimmed down a bit compared with the D5500. The overall dimensions are about the same—3.8 by 4.9 by 2.8 inches (HWD)—but the body is slimmer in between the lens mount and hand grip, making it a bit more comfortable to hold....

The Nikon D5600 SLR undercuts its predecessor's asking price and doesn't skimp on features, but still lags behind competing Canon models when it comes to Live View autofocus.
