The Nikon D3500 is an entry-level 24.2-megapixel DX format DSLR Nikon F-mount camera announced by Nikon on August 30, 2018.[1] As of September 2018[update], the D3500 was available with two kits: with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens for $499.95[2] and a two lens kit (18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR and 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G lenses) for $849.95.[3] It succeeded the Nikon D3400. In 2019, the D3500 won the TIPA Best DSLR Camera award.[4]
Following its decision in early 2021 to "archive" both the D3500 and D5600 in Japan while continuing to sell them elsewhere "for the time being",[5] Nikon announced in June 2022 that production of both models had ceased.[6]
The discontinuation was seen as heralding the end of the "beginner DSLR"[6] and Nikon did not release a direct successor to the D3500.[7]
Features
[edit | edit source]The D3500 has the following features:
- 24.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor.
- Guide Mode
- Active D-Lighting.
- Full HD and HD video recording (up to 60 frames/s).
- Up to 5 frames per second continuous shooting.[8]
- ISO sensitivity 100 to 25,600.
- 11-point 3D Tracking Multi-CAM 1000 autofocus sensor module.
- 3D Color Matrix Metering II (only compatible with type-G and E lenses).
- Bluetooth connectivity, but Wi-Fi not equipped.
- Compatible with Nikon's SnapBridge app.[9]
- The internal clock is not always 100% accurate and may drift over time, requiring occasional resetting. When traveling, you may need to update the time zone to ensure accurate timestamps. The Nikon D3500 has an internal clock that must be set manually unless SnapBridge is used to sync it.If the internal clock is not set, the camera displays a flashing “CLOCK” indicator. This information can be cited from David Busch’s Nikon D3500 Guide to Digital SLR Photography (1st edition). Rocky Nook.
