Nikon3500

I?m a photography noob. I researched cameras and got a lot of advice before investing though. Originally, I was looking at The Nikon850 to grow into. I decided on the 3500 because of the weight, size and versatility. The 850 is a beautiful camera with a few more whistles and bells but I do not feel like I?m missing out with the 3500. I can shoot in automatic mode while learning the ins and out of the technology. The menus are easy to navigate. I love how lightweight and portable this camera is. I invested in a micro-lens and some HOYA filters but otherwise the kit and zoom lens the camera came with have served me really well. I?ve gotten some beautiful shots and barely leave home without it.

Good for beginners

This is a lightweight and good intro camera for 35mm digital photography for beginners. It's easy and fairly intuitive to set up and use.

Ordering, info trail, shipping, communication all smooth as butter.

Camera and lens kit showed up a week early. Standard package and bubble wrap from Nikon, well packaged by the folks at Adorama. The D3500 is a welcome addition to the camera family as it?s light weight and ergonomically correct design will make using and carrying it much easier and simpler for these old hands. I was so impressed with the kit that I followed up and ordered an 18/300 mm Nikon zoom from Adorama. I believe this is my travel camera & lens going forward. I?d recommend this setup for anyone looking for great value in a mid range DX camera.

Adorama is always my first choice for camera equipment!

I always like purchasing my photography equipment from Adorama. They always have the best price and they always throw in some free accessories with every order! Their customer service has always been prompt and helpful. Shipping is always easy and they provide the tracking information so I can personally keep track of the shipment. I know it can be hard when taking a chance on a new supplier for the first time, but I can assure you that Adorama has always come through for me!

Gift for wife

My wife was blown away when I surprised my her with the Nikon D3500 for our anniversary. It is a very capable camera, and should be all the camera she would ever need. The two lenses that came with it cover a wide range, and provide very sharp, detailed images. There are scores of tutorials on YouTube to help someone explore the many capabilities of this camera. We are both very happy with the purchase. You can?t beat Nikon for combination of value and quality, well worth the money.

Best starting kit for Newbie photographer

It has perfect modes for optimal photography. And it is highly recommended for a newbie photographer. Apart from the kit lens 70-300mm is best for outdoor shooting.

I am very happy with the D3500. It takes some time to figure it all out but it is light and easy to get to all the buttons and shoots forever on that battery. It’s nice you get everything you need in one package.

Very good kit. Two lenses make it easy to change photo topic. Nikon makes lens changes fast and easy. Auto mode allows shooting pics right out of box. The other modes need done train up. Nikon has video tutorials to help and plenty of info on YouTube

Great for beginners

I bought this camera as a beginner, having no prior experience with DSLR cameras. So far I really enjoy it. It takes great pictures on "auto", but I'm starting to get the hang of manual settings and it's even better. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get into photography.

Definitely Recommend

I am very happy with the Nikon camera I purchased. It is easy to learn with the free classes Nikon is offering right now. I also believe it was a better priced package compared to many of the other companies that I looked at. This package gives you the essential accessories needed for first learning photography where as others are more expansive and give you items you may not necessarily need at first.

Gateway to a Pro Setup

By StrobiWanKanobi

Nikon absolutely KILLED IT with this model. The user-friendly layout was an easy transition for me from Canon. The functionality is limitless! However, you do have to spend quality time in each specific mode under each specific setting to get the full potential from this unit but the patience can be rewarding. Ive been places where people have knocked the camera solely on being a cheaper-end DSLR and they couldn't be more wrong. I recommend balancing lens choice since the stock 18-55 has limi...

(OoO) (cannot say anything)

This is one of the best cameras this company ever created. Great sharpness, an AF that canon cannot create.

Beautiful pictures for all
You don't need to be a photographer to know a great photo when you see one. And you don't need to be a photographer to take a great photo-you just need the D3500. It's as easy to use as a point-and-shoot, but it takes beautiful DSLR photos and videos that get noticed. It feels outstanding in your hands, sturdy and balanced with controls where you want them. It's compact, durable and versatile, ideal for travel. And it works seamlessly with compatible smartphones, making it easier than ever to share your great photos. Even if you've never picked up a DSLR camera, you can take beautiful pictures with D3500.

Easy. Portable. Amazing
Take more memorable images. The photos you take with the D3500 capture more than the moment-they capture the feeling of the moment, a feeling that can be shared immediately with your friends and family and then relived for a lifetime.

Newbies welcome
If you can take a picture with your smartphone, you can take a great picture with the D3500. Auto Mode delivers amazing results in nearly any situation. If you want to learn while you shoot, turn on Guide Mode and follow simple on-screen guidance.

Less thinking. More shooting
The D3500 is fast, responsive and simple to use. You won't be stuck fussing with camera controls while a great moment passes you by. Just point, shoot and share amazing photo after photo.

Feels great. Goes anywhere

Shoot comfortably
The D3500 simply feels great in your hands. It's lightweight and balanced, even with a telephoto lens attached. Each button and dial is carefully placed for comfort and ease of use and the menu system is simple and intuitive.

The day tripper
Small enough to be discrete, durable enough to withstand rough conditions; the camera is also available with two outstanding travel lenses, you'll never want to leave home without the D3500.

Share photos that tell stories

The difference is in the details
The image sensor in the D3500 is approximately 15 times larger than those used in typical smartphones. That means much sharper, clearer photos with richer details-photos that immediately grab attention and get likes.

Colors that pop in any light
Inside every DSLR is a specialized computer that fine-tunes the settings for each shot. Nikon's renowned EXPEED image processing system is built upon a rich history of imaging know-how and it helps the D3500 take beautifully vibrant photos and videos in nearly any condition.

Videos at the touch of a button
Recording beautiful video with the D3500 is as easy as shooting photos. Just flip the Live View lever and press the record button. You'll be capturing the sights and sounds in awesome 1080/60p Full HD video with stereo sound. Use your lens' zoom capability to shoot wide angle videos or tight close-ups.

Picture after amazing picture
Some of the best moments only last a split second. Press and hold the shutter button on the D3500 and capture up to 5 frames per second at full resolution with tack-sharp focus, ensuring you land the shot that matters.

Fast, accurate focusing
Unlike typical smartphones, fast-moving subjects are no problem for the D3500. 11 autofocus points are spread across the frame and fulltime AF locks onto your subject and keeps it in focus while you capture amazing shot after shot.
