    I bought this camera as a christmas gift for my daughter who is a beginner. She was working with it as if she was a pro within hours taking beautiful pics. I'm super happy with this purchase and if I had to do it again I would go with this same camera.

    Great camera for us. This is a great starter deal for a digital camera. We just added a wide angle lens and a tripod and we are ready for those great vacation/ outdoor pics

    I bought this camera as my beginner camera and I LOVE it. Honestly, I didn’t do as much research as I would have before I bought it. With that being said, I don’t regret my decision at all.

    This is the first camera I have purchased in over 20 years. I wanted one that a beginner could use but also high quality pictures. This camera is both. I also watched a YouTube video that answered several questions and helped me achieve my goal.

    Everyone is walking around with a camera in their pocket these days, but no of them can take the quality pics this camera can. When my wife asked for it for her birthday I thought she was bonkers. I was wrong. The pictures are so good she has sold some!!

    So I'm not a professional photographer...YET! But the Camera is easy enough to navigate on auto and as i move along to different options its easy enough to learn through YouTube videos. I'm pretty excited to continue using the D3500

    This thing takes better pictures than I thought it would. The auto settings are super easy to use and do a great job. Great camera to learn on. Not that good for videos, but I use it for pictures so I am happy with it.

    I bought this as a replacement for an old Canon. I really like this camera as it was an upgrade to a very old Canon DSLR. Me and my wife have both used it for leisure. Nice camera for the price, takes great photos and good video.

    This is an amazing machine for new photographers! The additional lens is also above average. The only negative I have about it is that downloading the pictures to your phone takes a good little bit of time. Other than that I love it!

    you get the best-renowned Nikkor lens on the market for camera SLRs and two lens frames in the package! Nikon is a great investment for upcoming photographers or curious enthusiasts who want to show serious teeth in the game but are also on a budget.

    I love this camera. It’s very nice & the price is fair. One thing that is poor is the Nikon SnapBridge app. It rarely if ever works. But my Mac has a slot for an HDMI card & that works great for importing pictures.

    I bought this camera to take picture of my children at their sporting events. I am a very amateur photographer, and this camera is so simple and easy to use! Some of the pictures I have taken blow my mind, especially given my skill level.

    Love this camera, I am getting into pathography, and this was a great start up. I’ve gotten some fantastic pictures that I’m really proud of. My only problem is that it doesn’t focus when I always want it too

    I purchased this combination package to learn how to use a DSLR camera (previously only used a point and shoot). I have so far found this package to be complete with all of the basics needed. My primary use will be nature photography.

    Nikon makes the best cameras. This is a great deal for the bonus lens. Works great and battery lasts longer than the D3100. Would recommend this to anyone starting out that whats a good camera at a fair price.

    I have been a fan of Nikon for many years. This camera does not disappoint. At the entry level position, this camera will meet the needs of most casual photography fans. I bought this camera with the two lens package and it was a very good price point.
