For novice photographers, for amateurs, for bloggers Nikon D5600 Kit AF-P 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR is a great option.

Greetings to all!

Six months ago, I wanted to try myself in photography and I reread a bunch of reviews both here and on various special sites. As a result, I settled on the Nikon D5600 DSLR.

Initially, I bought it with an 18-140 mm lens. The camera with this lens cost me 34,000 tenge. Now this camera costs from 65,000 rubles to 160,000 rubles in various Russian online stores. That's the price spread!

The camera is not new, it was released in 2016, but, nevertheless, it is quite relevant at the moment.

At first I shot only in auto mode, but then I took a photo course and now I shoot exclusively on manual settings. Therefore, I can already draw some conclusions. I will not write about the technical characteristics, there is a lot of it on the Internet.

The camera is easy to use. If you don't have any skills with the camera at all, then it's better to study the instructions first, so that you know how to turn on/off, where to insert the battery / memory card, how to change the shooting mode.

The carcass itself is not heavy, the body fits comfortably in the hand.

What I like about this camera is the touchscreen rotary screen. You can also control the menu with buttons, but I'm more used to the sensor, of course. And the rotary screen will allow you to take a photo even from the most inconvenient angle.

For bloggers, there is an opportunity to shoot high-quality video here. I've tried, but I don't really use this feature.

There are different shooting modes, but even in auto mode, the pictures are quite successful.

I don't use the built-in flash.

There is a convenient Snapbridge phone application that allows you to transfer pictures from the camera to the phone. It is very convenient if you want to quickly post a photo on a social network, for example.

A fully charged battery will last for about 2.5-3 hours of continuous operation. In cold conditions - less.

A couple of times my memory card hung up and the camera refused to work. Turning the camera on or off doesn't help. Remove and insert the memory card too. You need to take out the battery for a while, then everything comes back to normal.

Below I will show the photos taken by me. All photos without retouching and any processing. Made on different lenses. I have 2 of them - a Nikkor 18-140 mm zoom and a Nikkor 50 mm high-power portrait camera. I must say right away that the lens also plays a huge role.

The portrait painter gives a beautiful background blur. But if you have a zoom, then you need to unscrew the lens to the end and then you can also achieve background blur.

My first pictures on an 18-140 mm lens.

Here I unscrewed the lens 18-140 mm by all 140 mm to get the same blur. Filmed in auto mode.

Here I worked with a model for the first time - a friend posed. But I took the photo already on a portrait lens of 50 mm. The first time I worked on manual settings. The first photo came out illuminated - ISO realized too high.

In general, I am learning from this camera. So far I have enough of it, but I already want another one.

And for beginners, I definitely recommend starting with it. Also suitable for amateurs and bloggers.

How to get a universal camera for the realization of creative possibilities? Just with the Nikon D5600, with a video review!)

All mirrored, versatile, productive and recommended hello!

To change the Nikon D3100 camera, because it no longer satisfied with its photo and video functionality, I decided to purchase a new Nikon D5600 body camera three years ago in a specialized photo store with a very attractive discount at the time of the start of sales.

The main technical characteristics of the Nikon D5600 body camera are presented here, and the full ones can be viewed on the manufacturer's website:

Matrix:APS-C, 24.2 MPIX
Video:Full HD (1080p up to 60 fps)
Snapshot Size:6000x4000 pixels
ISO range:100-25600
Serial shooting:5 k/s
Screen:3.2", touch, rotary

I considered the option of the Nikon D5600 body camera, namely only the carcass, so that later I could buy the option of the necessary lenses for photo and video shooting, and to a greater extent for video shooting.

All expectations from the Nikon D5600 body camera were fully justified, both in terms of the functionality of the camera to which some of the functions from senior professional cameras were pumped, and in terms of interaction with external devices, and especially with a smartphone and after a computer.

The Nikon D5600 body camera was tested in photo and video shooting in a review about the Philips PerfectCare Viva GC7055/20 steam generator (photos: 3-9, video: 2).

For the Nikon D5600 body camera, the original Nikon EP-5A power connector was purchased for studio shooting to connect to the network in order to save on batteries.

The functionality of the Nikon D5600 body camera is excellent with the help of a folding screen and with the touch screen option, you can get to any menu item and control it, which possibly excludes the purchase of an external Bestview S7 4K 7" on-camera monitor. The manufacturer has opened access to shutter speed, aperture and ISO in M-manual mode and the like, when you are in a live LiveView, change them and observe the result.

With the advent of new AF-P lenses with quiet ultrasonic motors for automatic focusing, which do not interfere with the motors produced by the sounds when shooting videos, as it was and is in AF-S lenses, especially the first generation, which can be heard in the video about the modernization of the Toshiba SATELLITE P300-226 laptop.

Adds functionality to the Nikon D5600 body camera is the interaction with a smartphone to transfer the footage through the SnapBridge application, as well as WirelessMobileUtility, which are available in the corresponding applications for various platforms, which I use everywhere without any problems.

I was disappointed that the manufacturer did not provide a protective plug for the "hot shoe", but the way out was found by buying a protective cover and an Ikacha bubble level for the "hot shoe" DSLR camera.

In August, the manufacturer released a driver application so that the Nikon D5600 body camera would turn into a webcam camera with good functionality when interacting via a USB-microUSB cable with a computer or laptop via the OBS Studio application, and maximum capabilities can be obtained through a video capture card and an HDMI cable. This fact has been verified and it works.

To demonstrate the capabilities of the Nikon D5600 body camera with AF-P and AF-S lenses, as well as turning into a webcam, a video is presented for everyone to familiarize themselves with.

I strongly recommend using the Nikon D5600 body camera to realize your creative abilities!
