Nikon D5600 APS-C DSLR Camera (2016)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Nikon D5600 is an affordable DSLR camera in the Nikon F-mount system. Introduced by Nikon in 2016, it comes with an APS-C sensor with 24 MP (6000 x 4000) resolution.
The camera has an excellent battery life, and you may just get away without a second battery. The Nikon D5600's 5.0 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
The Nikon D5600 comes with a fully articulated touch display and 39 autofocus points.

Reviewer score 27%The Nikon D5600 is good for landscape photography. It's comfortable to use, and its impressive image quality allows for photos that are sharp and detailed. Its video quality in FHD is disappointing, resulting in footage that isn't very sharp or detailed. It isn't designed for action video, and it doesn't have any advertised weather resistance.

Reviewer score 71%The Nikon D5600 features a ‘monocoque’ construction – which refers to it being fashioned from a single moulded shell. On this model, we get 95% frame coverage through the viewfinder, so what is seen is – almost – what we get. For those shooting video, a Full HD 1920x1080 pixels resolution is selectable, up to a maximum 59.94fps frame rate. No 4K resolution video option this time around, but this reflects this particular DSLR's entry-level status.
