Nikon D3500 DSLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens 1590 + 32GB SD

Compact DSLR Kit for First-Time Users

The Nikon D3500 DSLR camera ships with an AF-P DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens and a SanDisk 32GB Ultra 120MB/s card. A 24.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor and EXPEED 4 image processor deliver a native ISO 100-25600 range, 5 fps continuous shooting and Full HD 1080p video recording at 60 fps. The sensor omits an optical low-pass filter for greater sharpness. SnapBridge Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless image sharing to a mobile device.

Upgrade from Smartphone or Basic Compact

This kit replaces a phone camera or entry-level compact when you need interchangeable lenses, a larger sensor and optical zoom from 18mm to 55mm with vibration reduction. The jump is worth it for photographers who want manual control, better low-light performance up to ISO 25600 and the ability to capture fast action at 5 fps. The 11-point Multi-CAM 1000 AF system improves focus reliability over contrast-detection systems.

Suits Beginners Wanting a Lightweight DSLR

The 3.0-inch 921k-dot LCD monitor aids composition and review, while the compact body keeps weight low for travel or daily carry. Buyers who need 4K video, a touchscreen, dual card slots, weather sealing or faster continuous rates should look at other models. The kit covers essential starter needs with the included 32GB card and versatile zoom lens.
