Got my new Nikon D3500 in yesterday and immediately jumped into it. This camera is super user friendly and is ready to go right out of the box. This is my first DSLR camera EVER and I manage to get these cool shots. The Auto feature is great for beginners like myself but I did a lot of learning even before buying the camera and I decided to take the leap and start off in manual mode. I highly recommend you guys do the same because it unlocks this camera to another world! I feel this camera will be with me for a long time and I like that I can change out the lenses and it allows me to grow. If you're still thinking about it? Don't. You won't be disappointed.

I actually bought this as a B-roll camera for some location video, and as the base DSLR in Nikon's lineup it has some significant limitations— especially for video. The lack of a microphone input is a bummer, and I miss having a Manual-Auto Focus switch on the kit lens, but having said that, the autofocus is much quieter than a similar but older Nikon 18-55 zoom I have. And since I record audio separately anyway (as anyone doing quality audio would) the lack of a mic input is not that big of a deal. For still photography it's really terrific— quite light and small, with some very intuitive automatic modes. And I LOVE the ability to override autofocus with a quick grab of the focus ring. Even at full price it's a great value, but when you get it on sale— it's a steal. One more thing: the face-tracking focus is really effective!

If you’re a beginner photographer like me or just like to take visually appealing photos, this is the camera you want to get. I did research for some time and website after website, review after review; this camera was the one that stood out not only because of the cost but because it’s very user friendly, light in weight and its battery capacity. I take it with me everywhere and I’ve produced some of my greatest photos with it. You won’t regret this purchase!
