3 reviews for Nikon D3500

  1. Sidney Hunter

    So far, after more than 2 weeks of having and taking photos every day, I have not found any problem with the equipment. Intuitive operation. Many parameters give a lot of possibilities, I’m still learning how to configure them. Technically, I won’t say much because I’m not from this industry. I can be completely credible. It is worth buying this camera for the first camera, because the jump from a mobile camera to a SLR camera is huge for me, and at this price you can already start playing with a larger palette of possible settings, which in relation to the price of the camera is not a great cost, mobile phones can be much more expensive, and it is not known if it will be more useful. The cost of $ 220 is within reach for me, a full-time student earning some extra money on weekends and on days off from the university.

    Great camera. Fast, sufficient battery, good viewfinder, great AF, lots of photo and film functions. Very good grip, great matrix dynamics and low noise, sufficient stabilization. The only thing that would be useful is the screen tilted to the side and a more organized menu 🙂

    After a few days of use, I can’t say too much. Ergonomics in comparison with the Canon 5d MkIII is a minus, but the useful ISO or autofocus is a big plus. The battery is also ok compared to the a6300 / 6500 series cameras. I will probably be able to say more after the season of use.

    I recently purchased the Nikon D3500 in June and have been using it ever since. It has been a great upgrade from my previous camera and has greatly improved my photography experience. With its 24.2 MP effective pixels, I have been able to capture stunning images that are incredibly high in quality. I especially love the ability to manually focus as this allows me to have more creative control over my shots.

    Compared to other known digital cameras, the Nikon D3500 stands out with its ease of use and user-friendly interface. It’s also incredibly portable and lightweight, making it the perfect camera for those on the go.

    The only downside I’ve experienced with this camera is its lack of built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. However, this can easily be remedied by purachasing a compatible Wi-Fi adapter.

    Overall, I am highly satisfied with my purchase of the Nikon D3500. It has exceeded my expectations and I would certainly recommend it to anyone in the market for a high-quality digital camera.

    As for the delivery of the camera to Oakland, it arrived promptly and without any issues. The shipping process was quick and hassle-free, which is always appreciated.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are some basic settings I should use for beginners on my Nikon D3500 camera?

As a beginner, it's essential to know the basics of your Nikon D3500 camera. Here are some simple settings you can use:

1. Mode: Set your camera to "Auto" mode or "Scene" modes for basic photography. Auto mode will automatically adjust the camera settings according to the lighting conditions, while Scene modes will help capture specific situations like portraits, landscapes, close-ups, etc.

2. Image Quality: Choose the "JPEG" format with "Normal" compression for better image quality and file size. If you want to edit your photos later, using JPEG format is recommended as it's compatible with most photo editing software.

3. White Balance: Set your camera to "Auto White Balance" for accurate color reproduction in different lighting conditions. However, if you know what kind of effect you want or need to adjust according to the light source, you can choose other presets like "Incandescent," "Fluorescent," "Direct Sunlight," etc.

4. ISO: Keep it at its lowest setting (100) for minimal noise in your photos. As you increase the ISO value, image noise will become more visible, especially when shooting in low light conditions. You may need to raise the ISO if shooting indoors or in low-light scenarios.

5. Focus Mode: Set it to "Auto-servo AF (AF-A)" which automatically switches between single-servo AF (AF-S) and continuous-servo AF (AF-C). This helps when taking shots of moving subjects, but for static objects, you can also use Single-servo AF (AF-S).

6. Drive Mode: Use "Single-frame advance" for basic shooting or "Continuous low speed" if you want to capture a series of images at a slower rate. For faster action shots or bursts, choose "Continuous high speed."

7. Picture Control: Set your camera to "Standard" Picture Control for natural-looking pictures. If you prefer a specific look or want to edit later, you can also choose other options like "Vivid," "Monochrome," etc.

8. Flash: Keep it off unless necessary. However, if you need extra light, set it to "Auto flash" mode.

Remember that these settings are just a starting point and might need adjustments depending on your specific photography needs. As you gain experience, don't hesitate to explore other camera settings for more creative control over your shots.

How do I transfer photos from my Nikon D3500 to my laptop using a USB cable?

Connect one end of the USB cable into the camera's USB port, which is located on the left side of the camera. Make sure that you are using a USB 2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into your laptop's USB port. If your laptop does not have a USB port available, you can use a USB hub to connect multiple devices simultaneously. Turn on your camera and ensure that it is set to "PC" mode by navigating through the camera's menu settings. You can do this by pressing the MENU button on the back of the camera and selecting "Setup Menu. Select "USB connection" and choose "Mass storage" or "PC" mode. Your laptop should automatically recognize the camera as a new device. If prompted, select "Open folder to view files" or "Import pictures and videos" depending on your preferred method of transferring the images. The photos and videos will begin transferring from the camera to your laptop. This process may take several minutes, depending on the number and size of the files being transferred. Once the transfer is complete, safely eject the camera from your laptop by right-clicking on the device in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) and selecting "Eject" or "Safely Remove Hardware. This ensures that the card doesn't get damaged during the process of removing it from the computer. You can now disconnect the USB cable from both devices.
