Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect camera kit to get into DSLR. Takes great photos with lenses and is user friendly. I watched a few tutorials and was off to practice. The camera is nice and light, so its easy to carry around. You can transfer photos from the camera to your phone via Bluetooth through the Nikon app which is an awesome feature. The only downside is this camera is not compatible with traditional Bluetooth remotes and lights, they must be controlled through the Nikon app. I saw some questions ahout a camera bag prior to my purchase.. when i purchased (4/20/21), it did not come with a camera bag. Overall i would recommend this camera kit to anyone wanting to get into DSLR cameras, or is getting back into it. Came with: camera body, 2 lenses, beck strap, battery, charger, and lense caps. Very happy with my purchase.

This camera is awesome. Its lightweight, easy to use, and takes great pictures. I am learning so much as I experience with manual settings. This was a great choice especially for the value.

I'm not a complete amateur but I am far from professional too. I used Canon 35mm Sales and have Rebel DSLRs bought used but I really wanted to try Nikon and even used they are high. I got this 3500 to try out Nikon and love it!! Manual or auto it takes the picture no beeping and refusing to cycle. In focus or not it will cycle as long as the autofocus isn't jumping. And if it does (only does when use a 2x Vivitar converter) just turn the focus ring a bit it quits and snaps the shot. I plan on getting a full frame next I love this one so much. And if your just getting into photography grab a 35mm f1.8 DX to go with the kit you need a portrait lens for a DSLR. Also a 10-20mm or 10-24mm so you have the whole range to play with that's next on my list to have a full kit. Don't worry about messing up settings it has a factory reset option too. Great for any beginner or amateur looking for a new camera. Also has the option to add copywriter (your name and a business or year) on the data attached to the picture. Snapbridge also works connect to your smartphone and get all your pictures on your phone quick via Bluetooth. I have already taken over a thousand photos and put away my old canons.

This is my first ‘real’ DSLR. This bundle is the perfect starter pack. Battery life is better than expected, although I haven’t used the flash much as of yet, but with all the different settings you almost never have to use it except for very low light conditions or for ‘flash fill’. Download the Smartbridge app and you can use your phone as a remote shutter release or to download photos instantly. The clarity of photos even when taken at a distance and then blown-up on my computer is just amazing! You won’t be disappointed!

Great camera for first time users. You can really dial in with this package because it comes with 2 lenses. One for portraits and another for wide ranges. Adjusting the apeture is breeze once you get a few youtube videos under your belt.

Camera is great for beginners and has great features. The bluetooth allows you to download either specific pictures or all photos to your phone instantly. Buy it on sale.

Beautiful camera. Takes clear and crisp pictures, has some spot on preset settings, and easy to navigate.

I just bought this camera yesterday and I love it! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is just starting photography. It’s so easy to use and it take great pictures ! Ever since I bought it, I just want to keep taking pictures !

Super good camera and good quality Especially the lens super good :) If u planning buy a new camera this good and very easy to operate

After recently purchasing this camera Nikon D 3500 it has change my photography life. It takes amazing shots and when I mean amazing I mean incredible amazing. You take pictures with no flash and you still have a clear image of what time front of you in a dark zone for example I went to Angels crest up in the mountains and I took the best photo shoot with my car at night. After getting approved for credit in Best Buy I have never been much happier to have great products from them and of course I’m gonna keep getting more because it’s worth it. But if you ever need a camera you know who to count on Nikon D 3500. Oh and by the way best part is taking pictures with your girlfriend with the best camera .

Photography has always been an interest of mine, but I tend to put my creative interests on the back burner. Not anymore! This camera is perfect for beginning to explore the wonderful world of photography. So happy I went with my gut and made this purchase.

This camera is excellent. Lenses are very smooth and the shutter feels very sharp compared to my previous Canon Rebel Ti. Here are some cautions that would have been helpful to know when I bought the camera: -The Nikon SnapBridge functionality is slow and almost unusable. It works - but very slowly and it is only really useful for stills -There is no included functionality for time lapse shots -The 18 - 55 mm lens has to be “extended” prior to use. -I was able to buy this as part of a deal that included a Nikon bag. It was only available on my phone for a few days and then I had to hunt for the deal again and eventually found it. If this product does not have an included bag, consider waiting for a deal if you aren’t in a hurry. There are usually sales around holidays.

This is my first DSLR camera. I immediately began exploring the various features. The camera bundle came with access to a video about how to use the camera. I love the photos I have taken so far, it's a great camera for beginners.

I do like the camera and I think that it is a best camera I ever had so far and for a beginner like me it’s the best and it’s lightweight! But after few days of getting used to it I found out that there is a small defect !!! So I really need to return .. but over all the quality of the camera is okay .

I’m a true amateur and this camera is perfect for me. Very easy to learn and great settings so I can learn and take my hobby to the next level. Highly recommend!!

I knew nothing about this Nikon D3500 when I got it at Best Buy. But for the money, and some patience,I getting the hang of how to use this user friendly camera. Very happy with it.

Easy to use , great pics, compact size, perfect for beginner incredible quality

This camera bundle is a great starter bundle for any new aspiring photographer, or just to have. It shoots great clear photos, has an large variety of options to choose from. I do wish the lcd screen was larger and actually moved, but other then that I love it! Great deal.

I just retired and was looking for a good starter camera..Not to easy and ant the same time not to difficult. The Nikon D3500 fit perfectly. I had done my research and this camera kept coming up. I will defiantly grow into this camera. To start with you can put it in “auto” until you learn about the manual settings that will get you custom “professional” spin on your photos. I am very happy with this camera and lenses so far..

I can’t say enough good things about this camera. I love the 24.1 megapixel resolution. It’s amazing in low light situations. I also love the ability to view the pics on my phone. Also, the colors are VIBRANT! This is a HUGE improvement from my previous camera, the Nikon d3000. Seriously a great camera for beginners through intermediate. Don’t pass this up.
