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.

Excellent upgrade from 3200

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.

Amazing camera. It marks my return to photography since film collapsed. This camera is way smarter the I am, but I hope to catch up. I would recommend this camera to anyone. You can beginning taking pictures right away but there is so much more. Be prepared for a fun learning curve and don't hesitate to ask more experienced photographers for help. They generally love to help newbies.

Camera meets all expectations thus far. I have not shot many pictures yet and cannot give good feedback on picture quality. One downside for me is the slimmer grip is not as comfortable for my hand.

I did a lot of research before choosing the Nikon D5600. I just wanted a new hobby and decided to take up photography. I even upgraded my cell phone to support the camera. I don't have any problems using the Snapbridge although the WiFi sometimes takes few minutes to connect. It seems to have an easier time hooking up when I am away from the network at my house. Every photo I have snapped is instantly on my phone and my Nikon Image Space account. I like the way the D5600 feels in my hand. I adore the articulated touch screen. That feature alone is the reason I chose this camera over the D3500. The controls on the camera work well with me. This might be because I am not comparing the camera with any other camera. The included 18-55 AF-P VR kit lens seems to be of a really nice lens. I am saving up for my next lens. The AF-S 35mm f/1.8. I have read the reviews. I am really liking my new hobby because I chose a great camera to start with. The only things about the kit that I am not thrilled about are camera strap and the white piece of plastic rear lens cap. Those two issues have already been remedied. The flash on the D5600 is very nice. It gets used often because the kit lens relies on it because it is not a low light lens. Pictures turn out great! I am impressed by the image quality of camera and lens combo and how instantly it focuses. I bought David Busch's "Nikon D5600 Guide to DLSR Photography" which brought up to speed really quickly, as none of photos I have taken were done in full "AUTO" mode. All in all I am beyond thrilled with my Nikon D5600 and Adorama's service. They are now my go-to camera shop. Thank you!

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’m absolutely loving this camera and kit. A classic Nikon with great lenses and gear for a really affordable price. Especially having so much fun with the 70-300mm lens shooting wildlife in Central Park NYC. I also love the slinger bag that’s included with the kit. Large enough to hold the body, several lenses, and accessories, but less conspicuous than the standard Nikon bag. I take it everywhere now. I would highly recommend this product to amateur photographers, enthusiasts, and pros alike!

Great camera bundle
KAROL O.
2020-10-08T14:07:44
I purchased this bundle/package 2 years ago as my first true DSLR from a point and shoot with somewhat decent capabilities that I had been using prior. I could not recommend a better first DSLR to learn from and even use through intermediate learning. It is a very capable camera and will more than always keep up with your demands. After 2 years of use and learning (I started as a beginner), it has yet to not produce the shots that I want, even with minimal time you can take some decent shots. For those who are upgrading to the D5600, It will treat you well and you will get you're mileage out of it. For those who are going to learn off of the D5600 from the beginning as I did, I found that using the AFP DX 70-300mm was more forgiving at the beginning. It will give you a understanding of your depth of field, and will allow you to focus in on finer details as its range of focus is much more distinguished as you focus in, as compared to the 18-55 mm lens. Happy Shooting!

This camera takes great pictures, even though I'm a beginner. It is fairly easy to learn to use with a little instruction. I used it to take pictures of artworks to be posted on a web store. The pictures had to be excellent in quality and light exposure to get realistic images. I was very happy with the outcomes. It took very little photo shopping. I haven't received the extra battery and the tripod that was on backorder yet. It has been 2 weeks.

So far I absolutely love this camera and all the additions that Adorama and Nikon put in. The Camera is great and easy to use, the equipment all came as shown. The only downside was the software which is not so great, but it was free and defiantly worth that. I have since switched to Adobe though.

Absolutely love this camera. This was an upgrade from my Canon Powershot. I am still learning how to to use it, but already see a huge difference in the photo quality. Great starter camera.

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.

Great customer service. There was a minor issue with the first camera we were sent. A black spec showed up on the view finder. We tried cleaning it and couldn’t. My wife returned it but forgot to take the high speed memory card out. I said email Adrorama and see what they say. Sure enough not only was the return seem less and fast turnaround but the memory card was in there in its own separate little baggy. Camera is nice but plan on a large learning curve if this is one of your first cameras.

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.

Many different features that were very good I would buy this camera if you are a beginner
By Luluxual
Buy this as a beginner then buy th d4 once you know that you like photography enough.
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...

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.
