The Software for this camera is horrifically bad. Within 4 months of owning it (and only really using it for one vacation) It's not possible to get pictures off this camera. Direct USB connections to 3 different computers, Bluetooth to 2 different phones, Snapbridge to 2 different phones, none of it...

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.

The Nikon D3500 has been proven to perform really well with external flash. It is lightweight and small, which makes it a well-packaged bundle, particularly while vacationing. Also, recent buyers claim that the autofocus performance and high ISO are both ideal for pictures, and since it allows...

Has an affordable price; Very compact so easy to take places; High megapixels provide you with great image quality; Also has a shooting guide present inside for beginners; You can enjoy automatic image transferring through Bluetooth

No mic input; Fixed LCD omits touch support; Live view focus has a slight contrast that is not good for video

This entry-level DSLR is nearly identical to its predecessor which is in-turn very similar to models before it. The 24 megapixels APS-C CMOS sensor used by the D3500 produces nice images with very good sharpness, not much noise and reasonable color.

Very good sharpness; Relatively low noise; Very reliable metering; Truly responsive; Short shutter-lag; Excellent time-to-first-shot; Exceptionally flexible image parameters; Superb battery-life

Poor White-Balance; AF on the slow side; Very small OVF; Inefficient interface; Self-timer resets; LCD causes glare when changing settings; Exposure steps always 1/3 EV; Odd Auto ISO behavior; Mount lacks autofocus mechanical coupling

Please

Love it

If you already own the D3500's predecessor, the D3400, this is not a worthwhile upgrade. There simply aren't enough improvements to justify the faff. Indeed, it's hard to name many DSLRs from which this would be a significant upgrade.

Lightweight; Great for beginners; Good image quality

ISO controls are finicky; No audio-in jack; No manual/autofocus button

For less than £300 you can get an excellent beginners’ Nikon DLSR with a kit lens included

A superb budget DSLR that’s tailor-made for beginners, but it’s not a huge improvement on the D3400
