A great price for a great product, often referred to as an entry-level camera, but interms of features and functionality far from it. It does have in built tutorials that talk you through the process of the type of photo you are trying to take, so entry in that sense, but that's all.

The Nikon D3500 is an entry-level DSLR for beginners. It's a modest upgrade over the popular D3400, with the same 24.2 megapixel resolution but a redesigned body and improved battery life.

Good quality kit lens; Very good image quality; Fast and silent autofocus; Unexpectedly snappy live view; Great for keen learners; Value for money

Fixed rear screen; Video is HD rather than 4K; Chunky compared to a mirrorless camera

My first DSLR and I have not been disappointed. It is at the budget end of the market but has a great 24mp sensor and most of the bells and whistles a beginner to serious photography will need. I have been impressed with the photo quality and it has some great built in help for those learning.

Im a newbie photographer and this is my first interchange lens camera. I did alot of research and weighing my options and this Nikon seemed like the best bet for me. I read alot of reviews from folks like some of the others who have reviewed this camera that complain about the loss of a function...

The D3500 is a fine entry-level camera, especially for use at home. It has plenty of automatic features for family historians who care more about preserving memories than learning the ins and outs of f-stops, and also has the Guide Mode for those who want to take some creative control, but aren't...

Compact; Affordable; 24MP resolution; 5fps continuous shooting; Automatic image transfer via Bluetooth; In-camera shooting guide for beginners

Fixed LCD omits touch support; Contrast-based live view focus not ideal for video; No mic input

This is my first DSLR. I prefer looking through the view finder and I was not disappointed when I started using this camera. i especially like the guide and the auto feature. It is fun trying to take photos that are better than the auto feature.I like the size and weight and the texture of the grip.

I bought this camera for my son for Christmas. He was thrilled with the camera and it has barely left his hands since. We had a few tricky moments trying to work out all the features, but now that he knows what they do, he is snapping away happily.

The biennial Nikon D3500 is the latest entry level DSLR from Nikon, released like clockwork 2 years after the D3400 (2016), which followed the D3300 (2014), which followed the D3200 (2012), which followed the D3100 (2010), which was the first camera I reviewed for ePHOTOzine.

Incredible battery life of 1550 shots; 24mp APS-C CMOS sensor; Good noise performance; Great image quality possible; Compact DSLR body; Bluetooth for instant image transfer; 5fps continuous shooting

Small optical viewfinder; Control system could be better; No HDR mode (auto or otherwise; No exposure bracketing; Slow live view mode; Remote shooting doesn't include live-view

For years, Nikon's D3XXX series of cameras has been my recommendation for anyone looking for their first DSLR. Having replaced the D3400 in August 2018, the Nikon D3500 is the most recent model in the line8.

Excellent 24Mp APS-C format sensor; Superb guide mode that teaches you about photography; Compatible with an extensive range of lenses and accessories

Max video resolution is Full HD; Fixed screen

Offering an impressive battery life, richly detailed images and a relatively compact build for its class, if you want a DSLR format camera and are just starting out on your photographic journey, then the Nikon D3500 is a can’t-go-wrong option.

Great battery life; Richly detailed images; Relatively easy to use for beginners; Access to a wide range of optional lenses and accessories from a well-established brand

Fixed LCD screen; No 4K video option; Modest continuous shooting speed
