D5600 DX-Format Digital SLR Body

Very happy with camera except the camera to smartphone connectivity is sketchy at best which is one of the reasons I wanted this camera. Loses a star for poor smartphone to camera connectivity. I find that the camera and iPhone don’t synch when I am just trying to do a quick connect to download a few pictures. If not having to start the pairing process multiple times, I am having to unpair the two and go through the entire pairing process again before they will connect. Hardly convenient. The firmware update failed to fix this issue.

Ordered this DSLR to be my secondary camera to my D800 for wedding photography. The kit lens 18-140mm is very sharp but in low light does lack a little bit, but thats to be expected since it is a f/3.5-5.6G but its the best kit lens option. The touch screen is very fun to use, I wish my D800 had that feature. I would absolutely recommend this kit for an amuater photographer or novice you get what you pay for and then some its an entry level DSLR but that term is overused and can very well be semi-pro. The 24.2 MP is awesome my first DSLR at the same price only had 12.3 MP but came with 3 lenses. The one con is that you cant use a wireless remote unless you buy a battery grip, many of them come with them and it does make the camera feel more secure to hold if you have big hands like I do. A grip means an extra battery and more time for you to shoot anyway! Nikon promotes the app snapbridge for to be the remote but eh dont want to be on the phone while shooting it drains your phone battery. Uses: Events: 8/10 Sports: 7/10 (With proper lens) Travel: 10/10 Street: 10/10

I wanted to buy D7500 and ended up purchasing this. I discovered that D7500 is too big and too heavy with all the lenses and I cant carry all day. For my family and vacation photography this camera is perfect. The extra I spent on purchasing teh lenses I needed and I am glad that I did. Very light and it fits perfectly in my small hands. I took some amazing photos with this camera. I am so glad that I didnt but D7500 and purchased Tamrom 18-200 and one Sigma 10-24 Lenses instead with this camera.

I had a Sony a6000 and was never really happy with the small size of the body. I decided to give this Nikon D5600 a try, because its still small, yet just big enough to fit well in the hands, and balances well with larger lenses. What a wonderful purchase this turned out to be! My workflow has become so much easier because the out of camera jpegs are near perfect, to my taste anyway. I usually shoot RAW, but even the Raw files run through Nikons software, or Capture One, come out beautifully, with very little post processing needed. I love this camera!

Maybe Nikon make decent cameras and camera bodies, but their software is worse than useless. There is an entire industry growing up for providing work arounds for Nikons short comings like converting .NEF files to something accessible like .JPG. Nikon provides software allegedly for this purpose but it just doesnt work. I never got snapbridge to work in any useful way. I managed to transfer a few photos to the cloud, eventually, but definately no video - snapbridge needs a lot of time to do not much. Transfer using memory cards is way more practical.

I purchased this camera (with the 18-55mm VR kit lens) from Amazon in order to replace a much-loved D5100 that was stolen. The camera has all the plusses I loved in the D5100, especially its light weight and reticulating LCD. In addition, the basic D5600 kit now includes the much-improved 18-55mm VR AF-P lens, which is incredibly sharp and useful. Focus is now adjustable by touching the focus ring on the lens rather than flipping a switch. And the LCD, like the competing Canons, has touch-screen capabilities, making use of the menus far easier (and faster). I compared the D5600 to a D7200, the flagship of Nikons DX offerings, and found, quite simply, that I took much better photographs with the D5600. The size and weight of the D7200 militated against spontaneity in my shooting. Admittedly, I would have gotten used to this in time, but even so, the D5600, to me, offered all the crucial flexibilities of the D7200 in a far more user-friendly, approachable context. I found it far easier to shoot the D5600 in aperture-priority (A), shutter-priority (S), and manual mode (M). To be sure, you dont have two dials, but the single D5600 dial can control both shutter and aperture simply by holding down a button. The bottom line was the D5600s featherweight construction. Im a huge believer in the adage, "the camera you have with you is the one you will use." Lets face it: the competition is the iPhones camera, and Ive taken a hell of a lot of great photographs with it. The D5600 is light enough to make you stop and consider lugging it with you, iPhone and all. Im less than enthusiastic about the single major improvement over the D5600s predecessor, the D5500: Snapbridge. The low-power Bluetooth connection is capable, as I ascertained, at transferring large format images to my iPhone 6S, but the transfer is inordinately slow and consumes battery power voraciously. Although the camera still has wi-fi, like its predecessor, wi-fi is now wholly subordinated within Snapbridge, such that the user cannot choose between Bluetooth and wi-fi. There is one positive: So long as you have your smartphone with you, the Bluetooth transfers can be configured to encode your pictures GPS coordinates, but theres a major downside to this: If the pairing doesnt happen for some reason, and the transfer happens elsewhere, the coordinates will be wrong. I regret to say that I pulled out my D5100s EyeFi card and plan to use it instead of Snapbridge to transfer full-size images to my smartphone; in my experience, at least, its 10x faster. Or better, Ill simply pull the SD card out of the camera and stick into the slot on my MacBook Air. The unfortunate truth is that the D5600 offers very little in comparison with its predecessor, the D5500, and buyers might well consider saving $100 by foregoing the most recent version of this camera. This year marks Nikons 100th anniversary, and for me personally, the 40th year Ive owned and photographed with Nikon products. It is with sadness that I note signs of Nikons desperation in the face of smartphone competition. In order to cut costs, evidently, this camera kit does not include the cameras reference manual, an indispensable item for serious photographers, and it isnt available on Nikon USAs site, at this writing. Personally, Id prefer to have a printed manual rather than a 300-page PDF. In spite of my criticisms, I must say that I absolutely love this camera. Its light weight, reticulating touch-screen LCD, crystal-sharp optics from the 18-55mm VR II kit lens and beautifully thought-out controls have enabled me to take dozens of memorable, perfectly-exposed photographs. The built-in flash is surprisingly useful, producing shots free from red eye and obviating the need for an expensive, add-on flash unit in many situations. Aside from time-lapse movies, a feature I havent evaluated, I see little in the 5600 that isnt already available in the D5500, at a reduced price.

Hey whats up everyone, my names Chris Winter and today I’ve going to do an indepth Review of the brand new Nikon D5600 to see if it’s a good camera for you. Let’s review the brand new Nikon D5600. Build Quality Let’s first get started by taking a look at the build quality and features of the new Nikon D5600. When you first pick up the Nikon D5600, I’ve got to say that it really does feel nice. The Nikon D5600 is targeted towards either beginners, or photographers who want to step up from a begginer camera and I think it fits the purpose. It’s not a huge camera, but compared to something like this camera here, the new Nikon D3400, there is a noticable step up in size. Button placement is good too. Nothing too different from other Nikon bodies, so if you’re used to the Nikon system, you’ll feel right at home. So overall the Nikon D5600 feels great, it’s not too heavy and its not too light, its right in that sweet spot for a DSLR. LCD Screen Let’s now turn the Nikon D5600 around and take a look at the LCD. And this is where things get exciting. The Nikon D5600 is one of a small number of DSLR’s from Nikon to have an articulating screen. And it’s a good one at that. Compared to some cameras from some other brands, the Nikon D5600’s articulating screen is the real deal and can even be flipped to face you in the front. Now that might seem like an insignificant feature, but for people who film themselves like I do, that’s a huge deal and will mean this will be a great camera for youtubers. Not only that, it really does allow to get shots from up high or down low, which is normally a dificult thign to do if youre just relying on the viewfinder. The screen itself is also really quite good. I was very impressed with the screen from teh baby brother the Nikon D3400 and the Nikon D5600 is equally as good. One thing that I really loved about the Nikon D5600 is it’s touch screen. I really don’t know why more DSLR’s don’t include these as they make it them much easier to use. So overall the Nikon D5600’s articulating screen is definitely impressive and one of the highlights of the camera. Menus So I quickly wanted to touch on the menus on the Nikon D5600. Overall they were quite good with a lot of information and settings at your finger tips. Now if you’ve ever used a Nikon DSLR you’ll feel right at home in the menus on the Nikon D5600, but if you’re coming from a Canon background, it might take a while to get used to. So again, the menus are pretty good. They’re fast to get around and if you’re used to Nikon, you’ll feel right at home here. Competitors Now if you’re thinking about purchasing the Nikon D5600, theres a good chance you’ll have looked at some of it’s competitors. Firstly on the cheaper end, the recently released Nikon D3400 is another option to look at. It’s cheaper than the Nikon D5600 but importnatly is missing the articulating screen and the touch screen. The Nikon D5500 is the Nikon D5600’s predecesccor and is actually pretty similar. One thing it is missing htough is snapbridge which could be something you’re interested in. The Nikon D5600 also has a timelapse feature which is missing on the Nikon D5500 which is somehting we’ll talk about later. On the higher end we’ve got the Nikon D7200. It’s a little bigger and has great autofocus, but doesn’t have an articulating screen and is also more expensive. On the Canon side the Nikon D5600’s big competitiors are the Canon T6i and Canon T6s and also perhaps the Canon 70d and Canon 80d. The Nikon D5600 does have continuous auotofocus in video mode, but if compared to cameras like the Canon 70d or Canon 80d, it’s still not at that level. It works, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. The Nikon D5600 also has a timelapse mode as well which is a really nice inclusion. This was included on the Canon 80d and i actually found mysefl using it quite a lot so having it on the Nikon D5600 is nice. And if you do like to shoot in slow motion, the Nikon D5600 can shoot at 60frames per second so you can slow it down it post, nice. So overall if you’re looking for a great DSLR for video, the Nikon D5600 might not be the best, but it’s good. So overall I’ve been very pleased with the Nikon D5600. Is it a huge upgrade from the Nikon D5500? Well not really, but this is a great camera not only for photographers, but also for those interested in vdieo as well. Good job with this one NIkon.

Smartphone cameras are amazing, for what they are. So are many of the compact digital cameras, especially the super-zooms from Canon and Nikon. But I grew up when film was "it", and I missed the versatility and expandability of single-lens reflexes. This Nikon D5600 is an excellent choice for anyone who wants more than just a point-and-shoot and plans on printing at anything more than Facebook-quality resolution. It isnt as sophisticated as higher-end members of the Nikon line, but much more than adequate for most amateur photographers who have plans to grow within the hobby. A 24-megapixel resolution DX-size sensor allow high-quality prints that go beyond 8x10, and its just the right size for anyone who ever used a35mm SLR. I chose the model with an 18-140mm zoom lens, which is plenty for any casual shooting situation. If you are a former 35mm SLR shooter whos been using digital compact and bridge cameras, this is _the_ DSLR you want to bring you back into photography the way you remember it. Actually, its better than the Nikon and Pentax gear I used to own, thanks to auto-focus, long battery (no more stopping after 36 exposures) and multiple-ISO versatility. Advanced shooter might be happier with the D7200 or D7500, but even then this will make an excellend second body.

I bought this camera upgrading from my d5100 (which I have also loved for the past 5 years). I use my cameras almost exclusively for macro photography of bugs, frogs, plants, etc and occasionally switch on my telescopic lens for some larger or harder to reach critters. These pictures were taken under a manual setting with a 100mm Tokina macro lens, and only the first spider picture I posted had any editing or cropping done. Im writing this after one month of use, having snapped several hundred creepy crawlies and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Moving from a previous iteration Nikon there is basically no learning curve. The interface and options are simple, streamlined, yet very in depth. Simple enough that you can pick it up and use it as a point and shoot, streamlined in that all the menu options are easy to find and alter, and has the same depth that you would find in a pro model. Im not going to focus on too much technical jargon as I am only a hobbyist myself. On to the good stuff. This camera is light, but doesnt feel cheap. I wouldnt put it through any serious abuse, its still a precision instrument, but youre not going to feel like youre holding a toy. Im six foot and it fits comfortably in my hands, with all buttons and dials intuitively placed, but if you have some massive paws it might feel a little small. The screen is large and super sharp. It also swivels to any angle so you can hold the camera above your head or take a picture of yourself and know exactly what youre shooting. Its also touchscreen allowing you to change all your options or pinch zoom on your shots, making it feel almost like a smart phone. Speaking of smart phones, this camera has Bluetooth and wifi capabilities, letting you easily transfer pictures from the camera to your phone or device with the Snapbridge app. You can even use your phone as a remote to take pictures from a distance, or if you want to minimize any shaking that might happen in hand. While Bluetooth will reduce any image to 2mb, you can transfer the full size image through wifi. If youre like me and take a dozen shots of the same subject I would recommend turning off the auto transfer. If youre social media crazy leave it on and have all your pictures sent directly to your phone, ready to post to the world. But be aware this will use up the battery quicker. As far as the battery goes, Ive taken hundreds of pictures without having to recharge, though I generally use the viewfinder and mostly use the screen only to review my work. I cant really comment on the video as I mostly use it for stills, but from what I have seen it is quite capable of doing some great videography. The image quality is stellar and rivals what any pro camera was doing a couple years ago. While 24mp might not sound like a lot where some phones or point and shoots claim 32mp, the number of mp is not a tell all. We also have to look at the size of the sensors, which are going to be much larger on this camera, giving you far superior quality images than those stuffed in a smaller device. If youre a more technical photographer or just trying to learn, this camera has a bevy of options to explore. Variable image quality, HDR, a huge ISO range, on board editing, various effects, and near limitless tuning in terms of how you want to shoot. Overall, this is a great camera. On top of that its a great value. Just make sure youre getting the right kind of lens for what you plan on shooting.

I got a refurbished d5600 from Beach Camera two days ago and I love it. It works great so far. Connected to snapbridge with no problems, pics transfer flawlessly. I bought it body only, so as of right now I use my old 35mm lens and I love the pictures. I just love the sound of d5600 shutter (compared to my d3100 lol), I love how I can turn the lcd screen to take pics high up or down low, love the touchscreen also. The camera is a great size, lighter then what Im used to with d3100, also the grip fits in my hand so much better, and I am not tired to carry it around in my hand. (D3100 I had to hang on my neck.) Great camera! I am happy with this purchase.
