Order the Nikon D3500 from Adorama

Since the Nikon introduction of the Nikon D3000 all the way back in 2009, Nikon has put out super affordable entry level DSLR’s. Now in 2019 they have continued to do so with the Nikon D3500 which comes in at under $400 with one lens and under $500 with two lenses.

I decided to take the D3500 out into the Real World to see how it handles shooting college gymnastics. I used the two kit lenses, 18-55 and 70-300 as well as the Nikon 70-200 2.8E FL professional lens. I wanted to show you how you can take control of your camera and get quality results even with the kit lenses.

    Are there any chances that Nikon will launch their next 3000 series dslr that is the Nikon D3600 this year? If yes then will it be worth waiting for or should I go with the Nikon D3500?

    I did not understand the ISO issue you explained.
    Does camera change the ISO it self in the manual mode ?
    I'm planning to buy this for travel photography. Anyone has any ideas ?

  20. Crazy blondy says

    Great video ! Please help me , i am using nikon d3300 and thinking to take sigma 35mm 1.4 lens or to take new camera sony a 6300 ? please give me your advice ..Greeting

  21. Ron Johnson Jr says

    Brought this. But a few regrets 😏. You can not have a shutter release button, it's snapbridge and it's awful and loses connection alot. Second, there is no built in sensor cleaner? What was Nikon thinking..?
    P.S.. Great vid again….

  22. Lil in2Deep Fraud says

  24. Subhas Hughar says

    Can I connect the external mic with this

  25. Arsene Wenger says

    Have to say as a life long photo guy… I don't think I will be buying a new DSLR anytime soon … Still love my elderly Nikon D7000 from 2010
    Before you "Upgrade" your camera ..Ask yourself ONE QUESTION … What does my camera NOT do anymore.
    The manufactures LOVE you to THINK that your camera is no good anymore and you MUST buy there latest camera..
    The human eye can only detect so much detail in an image …
    Guys ..DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE… From time to time I still dust off my 2006 Year model Nikon D40 with its SIX MP sensor. And come back with great pictures… OK so its low-light photos are a bit shitty ..I just use it when it is sunny and can keep the ISO at 200/400
    She still takes great photos

  26. AKHILESH SARAF says

    Thanks bro😎😎

  27. Sulaiman Sulu says

    I like photography but I don't have a camera

  28. USNVA says

    This camera has a CMOS sensor. CMOS sensors are okay, but they have a rolling shutter effect when video recording anything fast, like lightning for example (I'm a storm chaser). It would be nice to have a CCD sensor with 1080p AND get it all for under $700.

  29. JHowl says

    Most of the sample shots in this video are with upgraded lens that the kit does not come with. That lowered the value of this video as a review of the product specified.

  30. Hanie Mascarinas says

    you're very keen in giving in your reviews, it makes me want to buy the camera ❤️

  31. Shashi Kumar says

    0:24😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  32. Chandler Photography says

    I have this same kit in the 3200 model. It's not the best out there and it does also have 24 Mp, but it does a good job with good glass.
