Sharing photos with the ones you love is easier than ever with the Nikon D3500 and Nikon SnapBridge app. The D3500 uses Bluetooth 2 to create an always-on 3 connection between the camera and a compatible smart device, making it possible to seamlessly share 2MP images to social media as they are captured. Additionally, D3500 users will now be able to trigger their camera remotely via Bluetooth using SnapBridge. Nikon SnapBridge users can also access Nikon Image Space 4, a free online image sharing and storage service that preserves memories in the cloud. It’s a shame, because video quality is excellent, and we like the range of frame-rate options, but without an easy way to manage exposures or incoming audio, the D3500’s appeal will always be limited despite its excellent image quality. Nikon D3500 review: Verdict ISO performance is very good. The range from ISO 100-800 produced test images that were more or less indistinguishable from each other, and noise at ISO 1600 was pretty nicely controlled – certainly well enough to expect good quality prints. Beyond ISO 1600 things inevitably got muddier, with ISO 6400 probably being the usable maximum. ISOs 12,800 and 25,600 are effectively party-pieces – for emergency only. It was while we were shooting our test ISO images, incidentally, that we re-discovered one of Nikon’s more annoying bugbears: set the self-timer, shoot an image, and the camera resets to burst mode after the image is taken. There's also no microphone port, so you'll need to rely on the D3500's built-in monaural microphones. If you're looking to shoot video regularly, you'll probably want to look elsewhere, but for those who only have need to capture the odd clip or two, it's a perfectly adequate set up. Your A6000 is very dated, and old tech. There are better iterations from Sony itself, and for example, a X-T100 wipes the Floor with the A6000, anytime in terms of Image Quality.

If you’re looking to get a spare battery or replace one that’s not performing anymore (they do wear out after a lot of use), the safest option is to go with the Nikon-branded version. They’re usually more expensive, but it gives more assurance that it is—and will remain—compatible.Sept 12: Fujifilm has announced a new medium format mirrorless camera: Fujifilm GFX 100 II. There are three new lenses alongside it, a GF 55mm f/1.7R WR and two new tilt-shift lenses.

The cost of a camera seems to have a direct impact on the number of buttons on the body, so we’re disappointed if not surprised to note that the Fn button – present on the front of other Nikon cameras and normally assigned to changing the ISO – is missing here.Additionally, the Nikon D3500 is capable of continuous shooting up to five frames-per-second (fps), helping to capture candid moments with ease. The Nikon D3500 is also equipped with Full HD 1080/60p video capability. Users can switch from shooting photos to video at the press of a button, allowing them to capture spur-of-the-moment memories that will last a lifetime with stunning sharpness and clarity. Compared to many DSLRs the screen – a 3in, 921k-pixel affair that neither tilts nor pivots – is frill-free. It’s not touch-sensitive either, but is bright, clear and makes easy work of getting your settings figured out. Our only major bugbear is that there’s no sensor to tell the screen to shut off when you lift the camera up – the screen turns off when you half press the shutter button but is otherwise on all the time unless you turn it off manually. If you haven’t come to expect this from using other cameras you might not even notice, but for seasoned shooters it’s a definite hallmark of the D3500’s budget position. The Nikon D3500 is ideal for consumers who are looking to easily capture the kinds of images that their smartphone simply cannot match, and share them seamlessly with family and friends,” said Jay Vannatter, Executive Vice President, Nikon Inc. “The D3500 reaffirms our commitment to releasing convenient DX-format DSLR options for those just discovering photography.” You might also still find an older version still available, the EN-EL14 (without the “a” at the end). Go with the newer version if possible. While you can buy the Nikon D3500 as a standalone camera with no lens, most people looking at this beginner camera will choose to get the 18-55mm lens that's bundled with the camera for a few more dollars or pounds.
