Nikon D5600 body

This isn't just the cheapest DSLR anymore; it's an affordable mid-range camera. Of course, it's still hobbyist-level — a professional Nikon or Canon costs much more, many times over. But for me, it's a fantastic device. It's great if I've understood 30% of its features in the three months since purchase, maybe even less. The body is made of polycarbonate plastic, with a convenient ergonomic grip. There are many controls to get used to gradually, but for a less demanding amateur, the automatic mode is suitable, where the camera can independently take quite successful photos. The autofocus works perfectly, 10 out of 10, but you can also focus manually if needed, by tapping on the large, bright display. By the way, it's adjustable, so you can shoot comfortably from any position, even with your arms extended above your head. It takes superb photos in low light. ISO 3200 is completely usable, and even at 6400, many shots still look pretty good. A separate topic is NEFF files, or RAW. With 14-bit color depth, working with such files in Lightroom is a real pleasure. It supports all wireless communication protocols, allowing you to control the camera remotely from a smartphone.

This is an "entry plus" level DSLR camera, but for me, a point-and-shoot user, it's a whole new world of previously unknown settings and adjustments. Most importantly, it can shoot in RAW format, which opens up vast and powerful opportunities for photo editing and dramatically improving less successful shots. For the first few evenings, I simply couldn't tear myself away from Lightroom, it's so interesting and, most importantly, useful. The camera itself is rich in controls, with an excellent viewfinder with diopter correction, which was necessary in my case. There is a high-quality touchscreen swivel display. In addition, the camera can be controlled from a smartphone, as it has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC interfaces. It provides excellent image quality in various conditions. I especially liked the precise operation of the automatic white balance, which not all cameras can boast of, the fast autofocus operation, and the image quality at ISO up to 3200 inclusive. Noise becomes noticeable only at 6400, so you can shoot even at dusk. There is an HDR mode. I was also pleased with the results of shooting FullHD video at 50 frames per second. If you shoot with a tripod, the picture looks like it was taken with a good studio video camera.

A cool SLR camera for an advanced amateur photographer. True, I still fit poorly into this category, there are not enough qualifications yet, but I will grow. Moreover, it is a sin not to do this with such a camera. She takes great pictures, so far she has not figured out all the settings, but what she has mastered already allows you to work small miracles. High resolution is combined with excellent detail and a decent dynamic range. In this sense, I really liked working with 14-bit RAW files. But recently, I did not even suspect that this allows pictures with backlighting to get a powerful second wind. The work of autofocus is impressive, it is very tenacious and there is almost no need to interfere with its work. But if you need to do this, you can select the focus point directly on the spacious LCD touch screen. You also need to praise the quality video shooting. I heard that Nikon is not strong in this, but I was convinced of the stupidity of such a statement - 1920x1080x60 / 50fps - it shoots perfectly.
