Nikon D5600 Review – a likeable entry-level DSLR

In terms of specifications, the D5600 is actually nigh-on identical to the D5500 with just a few small improvements. The biggest one, or at least, the one most worthy of mention, is the addition of SnapBridge – Nikon's innovative Bluetooth technology (more on that later).
Pros:
  • 24.3MP APS-C sensor
  • Articulated touchscreen LCD
  • Records time-lapse sequences in camera
  • Features Nikon SnapBridge image sharing app
  • Lightweight DSLR
  • 3.5mm mic input
Cons:
  • Very similar to D5500
  • No 4K-video recording
  • Touchscreen cannot be disabled
  • Struggles to keep focus on fast erratically moving subjects

Nikon D5600 review: More connected than ever

Being connected - it's all the rage. Of all the slogans used by Nikon for its cameras, "Always share your moments" seems most apt with the Nikon D5600. The D5600 is the sixth iteration of the well-established Nikon D5000 series - a DSLR camera range with APS-C size sensor - which is positioned one...
Pros:
  • Impressive image quality - especially in low light
  • big and vibrant tilt LCD touchscreen
  • small body with comfortable grip
  • exccellent battery life
  • seamless auto-upload of web-ready images to phone
Cons:
  • Video AF remains behind competitors
  • not many reasons to pick this over cheaper predecessor
  • feature set doesn't stand out

Nikon D5600 review

As an upgrade to the D5500, the D5600 is a touch underwhelming - just like the D3400 update to the D3300, the changes are modest at best, while the SnapBridge technology featured still needs to be refined and become more stable.
Pros:
  • Excellent image quality
  • Comfy handgrip
  • Decent AF system
  • Touchscreen interface
Cons:
  • SnapBridge needs work
  • Only 1080p video
  • Pricey compared to rivals

Nikon D5600

Lightweight and compact with everything the family photographer needs, the Nikon D5600 maintains its position as a great general-purpose dSLR for its price class.
Pros:
  • The Nikon D5600 delivers excellent photo quality for its price class
  • as well as performance that can keep up with your kids and pets
Cons:
  • It may be too small for people with larger hands and it turns off the self-timer after every shot in single-shot mode

Nikon D5600 review: Still a great slightly-more-than-cheap dSLR

Lightweight and compact with everything the family photographer needs, the Nikon D5600 maintains its position as a great general-purpose dSLR for its price class. Nikon sprinkles a tiny pinch of update dust on the D5600, a minor improvement to its small but excellent and inexpensive D5500 dSLR.
Pros:
  • The Nikon D5600 delivers excellent photo quality for its price class
  • as well as performance that can keep up with your kids and pets.
Cons:
  • It may be too small for people with larger hands and it turns off the self-timer after every shot in single-shot mode.

Nice Camera, sharp images, March Sale - good value

Only had a month, have not explored all the features. So far nice sharp images even in poor light. Good Value. Lighter weight than I expected and a little smaller than my previous Sony Alpha DSLR. Closeup auto focusing is a little funky.

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.

Great first camera

Bought this for my daughter for her first professional camera, she has it out everyday. I am amazed how clear the pics are and how easy it was for her to use. It is a sturdy and good quality product. Considering we bought over the holidays, the Harvey team were exceptional. Thanks Harvey :)
