I got the D5600 because my car was broken into and my D3300 was stolen and it wasn't being sold any more back in 2020. This camera has been amazing to improve my skills! I've done so many different styles of photos with it. Long exposure astro, rocket launches, birthday parties, my mother in law's wedding, my nephews sporting events, wildlife, you name it!

Such a great camara. I bought it last year, I dont use it that much but the quality of both, photos and videos are the best. Nikon is a great brand, it gives you the possibility to download the pictures directly to the phone.

I purchased the Nikon D5600 in April 2022 as my second dslr camera. I knew I was still in "entry level" area, but I needed to learn more before deciding just how far I was going to get into digital photography. Am I ever happy I went with this camera. This is one tough little camera and very capable to boot. The light weight and compact size make it ideal for a dual camera bag and utilizing it for long periods of wildlife photography. It was easy learning the basics and intriguing learning special features. Because of the D5600 I am now seriously considering buying the Z8 hybrid. If (when) I do this little workhorse D5600 will definitely be in the bag as my backup. Nikon, you need to keep making this thing!!!! I've frozen a lot of hummingbirds with it.

I've been using (many) Nikon products since the mid 60s', never had a problem. I'm semi-retired now and don't do photography professionally any more. So I got tired of lugging around heavy equipment and bought a D5600. Worked great for a few months. Took pictures of my grandsons football game today, downloaded the files, and when I went to put the card back in the camera it said "no card available". I called my proffered camera dealer. He said it would cost about $200.00 in repairs and take at least a month.

The 5600 is my first "real" camera-- not a point and shoot. I have had it for a few years and have been learning how to use it as I don't use it everyday. I have taken it to Europe, Utah and other places for photographing trips. I took a local photography class to learn how to shoot in Manual, which was extremely helpful as I did not know anything about that. I have really enjoyed this camera and the more I learn, the more I enjoy it. I added a couple of lenses over time, the 50mm, the 12-20 mm wide angle and the 18-200 for everyday. I have fun trying out the different lenses and seeing what they can do. If you want to start photography, this is a good camera to start.

Having owned several cameras in the last 35 years from Pentax, Canon and Nikon, I have found that Nikon is my favorite choice of camera. I have owned the Nikon Cool Pix and the D3100. I have used the D3100 for 10 years without any issues and decided to upgrade to the D5600 because my lenses would swap over to the the D5600. I have enjoyed the camera and all the features, especially the monitor which is very user friendly. Camera grip is firm and the thumb wheel is a great way to review previous taken photos.

I was so unsure between Canon or Nikon. However after extensive research I went with the Nikon D5600 for an entry level professional camera. I am so glad I did, Nikon is truly a professional camera in and out and as you keep using it the better you become. Once I master this camera I’m definitely going to the mirror less z7.

I was anxiously awaiting this entire kit to be shipped, as I ordered while it was backordered. I previously had a Nikon D60 and this is such an incredible upgrade and I am in love with my new D5600! The accessories that came with it all seem to be useful - the only thing I haven't touched yet is the computer program, as I have recently been learning how to use Lightroom.

This is one of the Best Camera's I have owned and seen. It has more features than I could ever use but will learn them all. I have to admit I enjoy taking it with me on trips just to get a chance to use it.

I am new to photography and this was my first DSLR. I did a Udemy course on photography before purchasing so I was familiar with the basic concepts. I have to say I am in love with this camera and I am loving my new hobby.

I have been taking pictures since 1975 when I purchased a 35 mm camera at the BX on the base in Iceland. Considering what that camera could do with my new D5600 does is a comparison of Night and Day. The D5600 was purchased after days of research on the internet and the watching of videos on YouTube. I now know that I made an excellent purchase because my photos have gotten so much better! The software in this camera along with the touchscreen function and the large SD card support makes me almost look like I know what I am doing. And capturing the photos in a jpg file under the "Large" format with the 24mp sensor, how can I go wrong? Nikon has done a very good job of providing top notch hardware and top notch software. Once you purchase this product, the Nikon D5600, you will be glad that you did. I highly recommend this product to the people who want to step up from the otherwise point-and-shoot cameras. Thanks Nikon!

So, full disclosure, my last camera was the Nikon D100, so the D5600 seems lightyears ahead of that. Pros: it's like a pound lighter, has like 18 more megapixels, has a nifty touch screen that is like 3x the size of the D100's non-touch screen. The auto focus with the included lens seems faster. You can set the ISO to 25600, whereas before I could only go up to 1000 or "High" with waaaaay more noise. Cons: it doesn't have the autofocus motor built into the body, so all of my older lenses I have to focus by hand (the new lens has a servo built into it for autofocus). Still totally worth the upgrade, I was wanting an excuse for new lenses anyway.

I'm impressed with the quality of images from this body and the ease of making changes to settings. The body is very light and user friendly. I'm very happy with my D5600 and recommend it to anyone who wants professional quality photos from a small package!

Love! Love! Love this camera. It has all the features of my old and very beloved d5100 with the addition of Bluetooth and WiFi capability. Now I can view images on my iPad immediately and organize, do edits, delete poor quality images, etc via SnapBridge and Nikon Image Space. Slightly smaller than the d5100, it is also unbelievably lighter. It’s perfect for someone like me; early 50’s with visual changes. Although I love the display on the back of the camera, it simply isn’t big enough to see images clearly. So connecting to my iPad on the fly, in the field is invaluable. The d5000 line of Nikon cameras is perfect for the novice/amateur photographer who is confident enough to manipulate the controls but doesn’t need, want or can afford the BIG professional cameras. The menus are easy to access and intuitive. I found the included manual fairly useless and bought “Dave Busch’s Compact Field Guide For the Nikon D5100 for my old camera instead, and along with experience and experiments, this book is as effective for the D5600. It’s versatile enough to take from the studio to the field and produces images that make my photos look professional without a lot of time consuming or expensive editing. I’m quite happy with both of my Nikon cameras! Now I have one for the studio and one to pack with me.

Great camera, and the extra lens that comes with it is a great buy, as well. I used a Nikon 1 camera (J3) for 6.5 years and was hopeful that there would be additional lenses released. After the Nikon 1 series was discontinued, I began looking at DSLR and found this camera. As a student in college, I can't really afford to spend a lot of money on a camera, but was lucky to buy this on sale. I've taken several photos of my cat (100+) and several along Lake Superior's shoreline in the cold. The camera has handled the cold temperatures (in the 20s F) very well, and has been easier to learn and use than I thought. I haven't tried to save my photos using the Bluetooth connection, so I can't speak to that, but the 70-300mm lens not having VR has not been a problem for me. I would highly recommend this camera to someone who has a decent amount of photography experience who has used a camera with interchangeable lenses as the next step.

This has become my easy to carry travel alternative to my D7100 and heavier lenses. I never miss a shot when paired with the newer 18-55 zoom or the 35mm 1.8 prime.

Excellent camera. I used a 35mm F1.8 prime lens a few days ago for a family photo shoot in the park. The photos came out excellent needing very little corrections in post.

Photography is specifically about your eye...screw all the tech talk this is the purrrfect camera transitioning from phone to actually learning the craft. Get a battery grip and big lens so tourists give you respect

So far so good- many features yet to learn and use but so far the D5600 has performed extremely well. Far surpassed the capabilities of my last camera, that was a good one in its day.

I'd been using the Nikon D3600 for a few years and was quite happy with it. I used an accessory to transfer photos from the camera to my phone. When the D5600 came out, with the in-phone capability to wirelessly transfer photos I knew I could use one. It just took me a little while to get the bucks together to get one.

Although this can be a great camera for beginners to learn on, the D5600 is not necessarily going to be the camera for every beginner. Sure, there’s a point-and-shoot automatic mode, but that’s not why you buy a D5600. Its color capturing and low light shooting capabilities are similar, at least to the naked eye, to its mirrorless counterparts. But to achieve those kinds of results requires a bit of knowledge on how this camera works specifically, not just photography in general. The D5600 is my trusty go to, and I absolutely LOVE this camera. Pair it w/ the Nikkkor 35mm lens or others, even the kit lens, and the D5600 will make your pictures sing.

I love it, just trying to learn how to use it to it's fullest. This is my first DSRL so lots of new things to learn . It is a easy to use and I love the menu and touch screen. Lots of good extras with the kit. Great starter camera for my first DSRL

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. I still have a lot to learn, but so far I am thrilled

Hi! I upgraded from a D3200 , and I find that the D5600, is a superior camera, and with bluetooth and Wi-Fi; I can transfer all may photos instantly to my phone. I recently went to an indoor auto show/exhibition and took 166 beautiful photos. An excellent camera for beginning and experience photographers.

Very happy with this Advanced Entry Level camera
By PBMan
I've had this camera just over two months now and have three lenses; 18-140, 55-300 and 55mm 1.8D. This is my first digital SLR and my return to photography after nearly 40 years. My last cameras were Nikon FM and FE bodies in the early 1980s, along with fixed 24, 35, 55micro and 135mm lenses. Since then I've had a few digital consumer cameras but most of my pictures were taken with iPhones. I forgot how rewarding quality, flexible gear can be. I'm careful about what I select and the D5600 c...

Stand out from the crowd with photos and videos so impressive, they'll inspire you to keep shooting and learning. Out of the box, you can leave things up to the camera and immediately start taking great photos and videos without the learning curve. As your skills develop, the D5600 offers plenty of room to grow with exceptional image quality, intuitive controls and powerful tools for pushing the boundaries of your creativity as far as they’ll bend. Unlike others, with a battery lasting over 970 shots per charge, you'll be able to keep shooting all day long.

Shoot fast action with confidence at 5 frames per second so you never miss that perfect moment, whether it's the game winning goal or the newlyweds' first dance.
Shoot from dawn to dusk with no problems. Nikon's EXPEED image processor combined with an outstanding autofocus system and the ability to shoot at ISO 25,600 and an expanded ISO sensitivity of 6,400 in Night Landscape mode, ensures low-light scenes and difficult lighting situations are handled with ease making the D5600 a low-light powerhouse.

Record cinema-quality Full HD footage with photo-like sharpness, vibrant color and crystal clear stereo sound. Pair the D5600 with an AF-P lens, which uses a stepping motor for smooth, near-silent autofocus, to ensure maximum audio fidelity. Create amazing time-lapse movies right in the camera.
Explore full manual mode when you're ready. Capture pictures with wide dynamic range using built-in HDR. The D5600 puts unlimited creative potential in your hands. Create eye-catching compositions thanks to the high-quality optical viewfinder, which delivers an incredibly clear view through the lens and when you want to focus on your subject, shooting through the viewfinder lets you block out sunlight and distractions.
Grow your capabilities as you go. The D5600 is compatible with most NIKKOR lenses, from close-up macro lenses to powerful telephoto zoom lenses. Take control of the lighting with Speedlight flashes, either on-camera or remote. Add a wired or wireless microphone and so much more.
