Nikon D3500 vs Nikon D3200

Moving to ISO 12800 we see noise tick up above 1.5 percent, and we also see details drop precipitiously. You can set the camera as high as ISO 25600, but I wouldn't recommend it when shooting in JPG format—images are blurry and show very little fine detail.

There may be other options but my current recipe for maximum image quality for minimum price is a Nikon D3200 with an 18-55 kit lens. [$129 for the body (or even $99 for a well used [$50 for the lens](https://www

Get the Canon if you want 4k video capability and a fully articulated touchscreen, but if you're new to DSLRs, the Nikon is a great alternative budget option.

To be honest I didn't think the video when taken in lower lighting indoors was that great and every picture taken indoors with fairly well lit lighting during the day wasn't the most crisp pictures i have taken. I used Aperture priority without a flash and had the aperture open fully and let the camera do the ISO and shutter. My Panasonic GF3 and SONY NEX seemed to get better results. I have to say it was nice to look through a viewfinder again as my last cameras were all in a LiveView type of config

it sucked lol. Using a D3500 with a nikon 17-55 2.8 lens. I couldnt auto-focus on anything because it was so dark, and the lens wasnt letting me manually focus! I switched it to M instead of MA on the lens but when I was spinning the dial it wasn't focusing, I was trying to make it infinty focus

Basically, you have your lens, you have your camera right on the side of the camera, you have a white dot on the lens, you have a white dot, so you ge...

You can pick up a Nikon D700 or Canon 6D in the used market for less than $500 and they give you better, sharper images than the two new cameras you are looking at. In fact, the newer Nikon D750 FF body costs around $700 used, and it is definitely a better buy than a new D3500. The D700 and D750 WILL also autofocus with AF and AF-D lenses since these high end Nikon cameras have an in body focus motor. If you do not mind buying a used camera, I would recommend shopping for a used FF model instead of buying a new APS-C camera

I’d concentrate on maximizing bang for buck with a D3200/3300 or skip right to the much, much more advanced D90/7X00 bodies. There are other bodies you could technically buy for £500 but you’d be left with nothing for lenses and accessories. To get started with lenses, I’d recommend an 18-55/3.5-5

To be honest, the only reason why I bought this was because all modern digital cameras lack the manual control functionalities of the camera. Nowadays, everything is "automatically" managed by the computer within the camera which, in most cases, ruins the pictures. I am so glad that I made the switch to this camera! It does everything that my other cameras does not do! It allows me to manually adjust the focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and so much more! I will admit that the camera can be a bit "much" to those who are new to the DSLR universe, but I will say that after you play with the camera for a while, you will know all of the menus, options and their locations like a pro! What I love about this camera is that you have the ability to switch out the stock lens for a macro lens (those insane close up photos) or for a telephoto lens (for those far distant pictures) if you choose! For me, personally, the stock lens does more than enough, but if I have the urge to buy one of the other lenses, I can do that because the camera is made for expand-ability! Contrary to what others may say, personally, I believe that the JPEG images are super clean and crisp. While you are not supposed to use JPEGs for post-production, I believe you can get away with some minor post with these files

Takes Amazing videos with great sound 4. Love the view finder, specially, since in this camera it's smarter and more detailed/informative than most LCDs 5. The manual booklet is a good start for someone like me, but you will have to do additional research and playing around to understand all the available options in the Menu 6. The Modes are quite useful once you understand them 7

My biggest issue with Canon cameras was the poor battery performance. I used to lug around three spare batteries to feed be beast with Canons. With this camera I can shoot all weekend with one charge. I must also mentioned that the the great deal Amazon gave me on this camera on the Black Friday deal

Each photographer must carefully consider a camera not just because its high price but consider image quality and other functionality. BATTERY LIFE: 5/5 Battery life is impressive, to my standards. But as with anything, battery life always depends how much a device is used and what settings are used. Usually, I use this camera for weddings and receptions
