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.

Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; Good ISO performance; 2-year warranty; Large 3.2inch touch-screen; Touch-screen is easy to use; Improved battery life of 970 shots; 24-megapixel sensor without AA filter; Good colour reproduction; Compact and well-built camera; Night vision mode; Built-in help

No automatic panoramic mode; Slow live view focus speeds; Controls could be improved further; Bluetooth transfer is slow; Limited remote shooting app

A subtle update, but the Nikon D5600 is a strong all-rounder at a reasonable price.

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.

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.

Built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; Angle adjustable touch-screen LCD; Optional external microphone can be added to improve sound quality; Massive range of directly compatible lenses and accessories

Battery life is modest; Full HD video only (no 4K); Comparably low burst rate

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

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.
