How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars An oustanding camera for an affordable price
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2019
Size: VR KitVerified Purchase
The Nikon d3500 is simply the best dslr money can buy under £500.

If you are on the market for a new camera but are having a hard time choosing, I can guarantee the d3500 will tick every box and for the price you really cant get much better.

- Build Quality -
As soon as you pick up this camera the first thing you will realise is that it is so lightweight and compact. This makes it perfect for travelling as you can put it in your bag with you and its not hard to carry around wherever you go. But with the sacrifice of weight loss, does not mean that it is lacking in build quality either. The d3500 feels very comfortable to hold with the rubberised grip but feels also quite solid. The material is a hard plastic so dont get me wrong there are more rugged models out there, but for general use and wear like bumps, drops, scrapes and maybe a bit of rain none of that should be a problem.

- Ease of use -
Whether you are an amateur getting to grips or a photographer by trade this camera is really easy to use and I did find that the button placement is simple but very effective if you want to change your settings quickly. There are plenty of different modes to go in depending on what situation you want to capture but manual mode is where you can maximise the potential and get the outcome you really want. The menu interface is simple, not cluttered and includes a handy setup guide to get you acquainted with the camera its self. I have seen a lot of people complain about the snapbridge feature that transfers photos wirelessly to your phone. But personally with my galaxy s9+ I had no problems at all and found it to be brilliant.

- Image Quality -
Now on to the most important thing of all, image quality. To be realistic normally for a budget camera around £350 you wouldnt expect too much with picture quality. But in this case the nikon d3500 is fantastic, the 24mp sensor really does capture all the intricate detail and sharpness that we all crave in our pictures. low light performance even with the kit lens is excellent and is even better with my 50mm f1.8g lens attached for them low noise night shots and plenty of bokeh !

If its street photography, portraits, landscapes, macro or even a bit of all you will definitely not be disappointed with the nikon d3500 and for how much this is I would say it is a must buy. After familiarising your self with the settings and an addition of a few nice lenses you will be on your way to taking professional looking photos for an entry level price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Très bon produit.
Reviewed in France on January 4, 2020
Size: VR KitVerified Purchase
Photographe amateur, j'ai délaissé mon vieux Sony HX1 pour ce Nikon de base. Etant habitué aux numériques de ce style je n'ai eu aucun problème d'adaptation. Grosse surprise en l'utilisant, je me retrouve avec des images d'une qualité exceptionnelle (J'utilise principalement le format RAW-JPEG Fine) dignes de clichés de professionnels. Les réglages de base sont intuitifs et la possibilité de faire des réglages perso à l'ancienne, comme sur un argentique m'ont permis de faire des portraits de très haute qualité, qui, une fois tirés en poster 50x70cm sont de pures merveilles.
Il est possible que l'utilisation de cet appareil rebute un peu au début les personnes qui jusqu'à présent ne se sont servis que de leur smartphone, mais la notice en Français, téléchargeable sur le site de Nikon est parfaite et très claire. Attention la carte mémoire n'est pas inclue. Le chargeur de batterie est compact et très pratique. Je suis très content de mon achat. Je pense sérieusement qu'une fois bien maîtrisé cet appareil peut largement concurrencer une gamme supérieure. Alors il ne faut pas hésiter à "mettre le nez sous le capot" pour en tirer toutes ses possibilités. je ne parlerai pas du snapbridge qui permet de piloter l'appareil en bluetooth à partir d'un smartphone (compatible), je n'en n'ai pas l'utilité donc je suis incapable de dire ce que j'en pense. Bref, un excellent produit avec un rapport qualité/prix 5 étoiles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfecta para iniciarse y algo más
Reviewed in Spain on July 12, 2019
Size: VR KitVerified Purchase
Vengo del mundo de las compactas y la D3500 me ha sorprendido gratamente. Siempre había querido probar con las reflex digitales, pues tuve una analógica que nada tiene que ver. Siempre me ha gustado poder capturar exactamente lo que veo en el visor en el momento preciso que yo quisiera, y no cuando a la cámara le viniese en gana (como ocurre en casi todas las compactas). Es ahora cuando empiezo a poner en práctica todos los conceptos como exposición, apertura, iso... que una no reflex prácticamente no te deja aplicar.

El tema de SnapBridge para poder sincronizar fotos al momento con el móvil es sorprendente. Los emparejas la primera vez y ya te olvidas. Las fotos que haces las tienes a los pocos segundos en tu móvil para enviar (en 2 mpx, eso sí).

Llevo un mes con ella y cada vez que la cojo encuentro cosas nuevas. La duración de la batería es espectacular. Hasta 1500 disparos según anuncian. Y es posible que llegue a esa cifra si se hace buen uso.

Tiene muchos ajustes preestablecidos (modo retrato, paisaje, macro, etc) que junto con la fantástica opción de modo guiado te permite hacer muy buenas fotos. Pero si tienes tiempo para seguir las instrucciones, eso sí, no esperes rapidez en este modo. Para eso está el modo manual y los semimanuales, a los cuales me he lanzado desde el primer día y te da más libertad. Los ajustes se pueden cambiar de forma rápida y sencilla.

El objetivo de 18-55mm que trae es para tener un todoterreno al empezar. No es malo en absoluto. El enfoque automático ni se escucha y es rápido. El hecho de estar estabilizado ayuda bastante a las fotos con zoom a tope. Junto con un objetivo de 35mm fijo que también he adquirido (que en cámaras DX como ésta equivale a un 50mm) es una cámara para hacer fotos estupendas. De momento no necesito más.

5.0 out of 5 stars Konsequente Fortsetzung
Reviewed in Germany on August 1, 2019
Size: VR KitVerified Purchase
Nach der Nikon D300, D3100 und der D3200 nun die D3500. Und wieder einen Schritt weiter. Sehr gut: Snapbridge zum Koppeln und Übertragen von Fotos und Videos aufs Smartphone. Endlich mal nicht mehr mit zwei Geräten am Foptografieren, sondern gute Fotos mit der Nikon schießen und mit dem Smartphone posten.
Insgesamt Nikonmäßig gewohnt: Leicht, einfach zu bedienen und dennoch für den journalistischen Einsatz völlig ausreichend. Heute erstmals für eine Reportage auch Videos aufgenommen: Passt.
