DSLR – CROP SENSOR – 24.2MP – NIKON F (DX) LENSES -1080P VIDEO
The Nikon D3500 has a ‘Guide’ shooting mode that is a fully interactive guide built in. The functionality is straight forward and easy to use. The autofocus in Live View and movie capture are a bit slower than the higher end models. Overall, the Nikon D3500’s performance and image quality are exceptional for a camera in this price range.
