I finally made the transition from 35mm SLR to the D5600, with a sidetrack to a pocket digital camera for several years. The convenience of the pocket digital was nice, but I kept wanting more performance that could not be had with a souped up iPhone either. About to leave on a 3 week photo safari to Kenya and Tanzania, I was late in finally pulling the trigger to make the purchase of the D5600 just 2 weeks before departure! I diligently read thru the daunting D5600 user´s manual, spent a few days experimenting with shots nearby and caught my plane for the Dark Continent on June 10. Despite the depth of complexity and control available, I was able to start right off taking reasonable photos from the get-go with the automatic settings. Quickly, I branched into using the scene presets, particularly dusk/dawn and sunset scenes. For wildlife, I was usually using the fully zoomed AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm 1:4.5-6.3G ED lens. That set up provided amazingly sharp photos with relatively low light and no tripod. I have cropped the pics and displayed them on giant screen tvs and they remain quite satisfyingly clear with no hint of blur. One struggle I initially had was trying to get the D5600 to focus on an animal in the grass or many-branch acacia tree. With the 30 point focus detection, I was at first taking really nice clear shots of the tree limbs and grasses but the animals were blurred. After limiting the number of focus points, the problem was resolved. With the 70-300 zoom lens most used, I had problems with shooting close in. I didn´t want to swap lenses in the dusty environment, so usually just whipped out my iPhone! This issue has made me rethink my choice of the D5600 rather than the Nikon Coolpix P900 which has greater flexibility close in.

Back in my younger days I bought a 35mm Nikon Nikormat Camera, and learned how to use all the features resulting in great pictures and a fun hobby. Now move forward 45 years and the bug has struck again. I love this camera. I´m a REALTOR, and this camera has paid for itself with the money I´ve saved by not hiring the Pro. I´m still learning about all the features, but I must say that I would recommend the D5600 to anyone wanting a quality camera at a very reasonable price.

This is my second high tech camera and I love it. My husband got it for me so that I can take photos of our car as we get things for it and shows. It has by far succeed my thoughts on how well it takes photos and how crisp they are. I also use it to take photos of my chickens, always moving so they aren´t the easiest models, but this camera has great settings to were I am able to.

I currently own 5 Nikon cameras, and i have to say, that this is the best one by far. Not cause it´s new, but cause of the features and ease of use. I already told several of my coworkers that if they need a new camera, I would look in this model.

I have a D750 and drug it around Europe with the 18-300 VR lens. When I got back, I decided I needed something smaller and lighter for travel. The D5600 does most of what the D750 does and the picture quality is nearly the same, even though it is an APS-C format. It weighs less than half of the D750. There are some differences, but for travel and street photography, they are not significant. A smaller and lighter camera makes me more relaxed, so I shoot better pictures.

I´ve owned other Nikon cameras from n65 to a d70, d80 d7100 and this is just a better camera. It can do so much. I´m an advanced amateur photographer who learned on film cameras. I found I had minimal editing to do with this camera which is my goal. It does have a learning curve to get used to moving thru the menu.

ive not owned a 35mm camera in years, and this is my 1st DSLR,, many point and shoots have passed through my hands, so I felt this was a suitable move back into a full feature camera, and it was,, it feels good in my hands, it is fairly easy to operate, the multiangle touch screen is great, and the 2 lense bundle is a perfect starting point,,,, I am still learning the camera with its many features, modes etc, and its not been difficult,, so just some basic photos for me so far, but I plan soon to get outdoors and see how it photos nature and some wildlife,, its a great camers

This camera is more than I could have hoped for. I love the touch/tilt screen. The focus points are more than adequate. Highly Recommended.

I´ve taken photos for a long time. I´ve used all the major brands before (Nikon, Minolta, Canon, Mamiya, Hasselblad, Asahi Pentax) during my lifetime. I began as a hobby photographer and school photographer in high school. Later, I spent 11 years shooting weddings and portraits. Now, I´m just a hobby photographer. I really like this camera! The amount of versatility it provides, combined with the quality of the CMOS sensor and image processing is very good. The two kit lenses, as with all kit lenses, could be better. However, they still rank at the top of kit lenses I use. I plan to get the 35mm f/1.8 lens later. They list this for people fairly new into the hobby. I would be more than pleased to use this camera for paid portraits and even weddings. I think for the money, it is that good of a camera. Nikon really knocked it out of the ballpark with this one! A friend, who is a nature photographer has around $12,000 worth of Canon camera gear. He is impressed with this camera. To supplement my camera, I got an under-camera battery pack (more battery stamina and it makes it look cool) which comes with a wireless remote, as well as a corded remote for night and star photography. I did get filters--UV over lenses for protection, CPL, different ND levels and a red filter for BandW use. My suggestion is to get 58mm filters and a 55m to 58mm step-up ring. That way, you only have to have one of a specific filter. Also, get different densities of ND filters--a 4-5 for shade or evenings and a 10 for daytime or long exposures. Set up photos and experiment with all the different settings on the same photo. Try out the fill flash for evening portraits. Given this camera´s versatility, I think you will be surprised at how good of a photographer you can be. The photos below are some grab shots. They did not get much, if any software tweaking.
