Overview
Shooting travel, family and landscape photos with an optical viewfinder is what this Nikon DSLR kit is for. The sharp sensor, flip-out screen and stabilized kit lens make learning manual control easy.
Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS plus a vari-angle screen add convenience for travelers. The design is older, so video features and autofocus during video are modest.
Who it's for
Students, hobbyists and travelers learning exposure suit this kit. Vloggers should consider a mirrorless camera built for video.
Pros and cons
- Sharp sensor without low-pass filter
- Wi-Fi and GPS built in
- Full accessory box
- Single SD slot
- Basic video autofocus
- Kit lens is slow in low light
Performance notes
Detail comes from the sensor without an optical low-pass filter, which lets fine texture through. The VR II lens steadies handheld shots at slower shutter speeds.
