Perfect camera kit to get into DSLR. Takes great photos with lenses and is user friendly. I watched a few tutorials and was off to practice. The camera is nice and light, so its easy to carry around. You can transfer photos from the camera to your phone via Bluetooth through the Nikon app which is an awesome feature. The only downside is this camera is not compatible with traditional Bluetooth remotes and lights, they must be controlled through the Nikon app. I saw some questions ahout a camera bag prior to my purchase.. when i purchased (4/20/21), it did not come with a camera bag. Overall i would recommend this camera kit to anyone wanting to get into DSLR cameras, or is getting back into it. Came with: camera body, 2 lenses, beck strap, battery, charger, and lense caps. Very happy with my purchase.

This camera is awesome. Its lightweight, easy to use, and takes great pictures. I am learning so much as I experience with manual settings. This was a great choice especially for the value.

I'm not a complete amateur but I am far from professional too. I used Canon 35mm Sales and have Rebel DSLRs bought used but I really wanted to try Nikon and even used they are high. I got this 3500 to try out Nikon and love it!! Manual or auto it takes the picture no beeping and refusing to cycle. In focus or not it will cycle as long as the autofocus isn't jumping. And if it does (only does when use a 2x Vivitar converter) just turn the focus ring a bit it quits and snaps the shot. I plan on getting a full frame next I love this one so much. And if your just getting into photography grab a 35mm f1.8 DX to go with the kit you need a portrait lens for a DSLR. Also a 10-20mm or 10-24mm so you have the whole range to play with that's next on my list to have a full kit. Don't worry about messing up settings it has a factory reset option too. Great for any beginner or amateur looking for a new camera. Also has the option to add copywriter (your name and a business or year) on the data attached to the picture. Snapbridge also works connect to your smartphone and get all your pictures on your phone quick via Bluetooth. I have already taken over a thousand photos and put away my old canons.

This is my first ‘real’ DSLR. This bundle is the perfect starter pack. Battery life is better than expected, although I haven’t used the flash much as of yet, but with all the different settings you almost never have to use it except for very low light conditions or for ‘flash fill’. Download the Smartbridge app and you can use your phone as a remote shutter release or to download photos instantly. The clarity of photos even when taken at a distance and then blown-up on my computer is just amazing! You won’t be disappointed!

Camera is great for beginners and has great features. The bluetooth allows you to download either specific pictures or all photos to your phone instantly. Buy it on sale.
