In my humble opinion the D5600 is a terrific camera. However I got rid of it along with the kit lenses and bought a Z7ii with the kit lens two years ago. I am basically a landscape photograper. I missed the D5600 so much since it is such a light weight camera for travel. Last week I replaced the 5600 with a Z30. I now use my old 10-20 and 35mm with the adapter. They both work so well with the z30 and I am so happy with.

Nice my guy!! I haven't played with a Z30 yet. Dont even know if I will. But some of my buddies in the KZreadverse really like it. Thanks for watching!

Solid advice!

One of the nicest features of the D5600 is you can use the touchscreen to move the focus point when the camera is at your eye. It’s a rare feature that doesn’t exist on more expensive cameras from Nikon or others. Still not worth buying it over a Z50 tho. The 2 kit lenses for the Z50 are much better than the kit lenses on F mount, or really most F mount DX lenses, other than maybe the 16-80.

I don’t use touchscreen, but if it’s doing to be there it seems crazy that the D5600 can do it when other can’t. WTF Nikon haha. Thanks for watching Doug!

Gave you a thumbs up for the effort of this video. I would take a different approach that would actually include the D5600. I think it is a great value. It has great features that a new camera owner and aspiring photographers would want. I respect that you personally would not use nor value them but for the target demographic of this camera...would. The negative points you make regarding the touch screen is a prime example of your bias. The touch screen does have an on and off option like other Nikon mirrorless cameras. Someone graduating from using a cell phone would appreciate this familiarity. Interestingly a cracked screen is the most common repair vs. broken hinge of the rotatable screen according to Nikon repairmen in my area. This is a camera that people can grow with. I have bought and sold and bought again this gem over the years. Its the camera my wife and grand-daughter use until it no longer does what they need them to do. Z50 is nice but no remote input and rotatable screen. Their evolution would likely be the ZFC. Love your videos. I reference them a lot. Keep up the great work. I'll be joining you soon. Cheers

Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't call this bias though. If I'm not making a joke I'm good about using terms like "for me personally" or "in my opinion". I do NOT make enough money on KZread to have every camera in hand when I reference my experience with these things. lol. Just hoping that I can throw out suggestions before someone who doesn't know can look deeper before pulling the trigger. Americans are impulsive buyers after all hahaha. Thanks for watching. Good luck getting that channel rolling. Wishing you much success

Very good advice. Buyers need to make sure they define what they want to do and not over buy. But, they might get hooked.

I never owned one of those entry level bodies, because my brain works in slabs when it comes to value for money. For example, the first slab is things I can afford immediately even if I stretch a bit, the second slab is for everything I cannot afford in cash all the way to things requiring 4 months of saving, and so on. This meant that when I decided to get serious about photography in 2009, I was looking at upgrading from point-and-shoots (CoolPix P50 and Cyber-Shot DSC-W100) straight to an A900, D700, or a 5D MKII, and I decided on the latter because of the high megapixel count and video capabilities. I later learned that since I am mostly focused on photography, the D700 or the A900 were the better choices!

I used to do a bit of teaching/mentoring and usually recommended for those that had not already purchased a camera to consider a more upscale body used. Because nikon chose to start stripping features from the D3x00 series, i generally discourage them. The D5300 is a solid choice on the used market offering a sensor and processor virtually identical to the D7200. In terms of usability fearures, having 1/3 steps in the ISO setting is useful, having in-finder grids is useful, having more focus points and more cross type focus sensors than the D3x00 owns outright is a big deal, and having that DC-2 plug for a wired release are all genuine usability features that most people will appreciate if they keep the camera more than a few months. So i see the D5x00 series not as a step-up, but as a starting point. The touch screen is of little real benefit to me, but for a generation of phone users that are touch screen driven, i can see the appeal even if it's only a transition and they turn it off later. Canon punishes its customers, and has for decades with all the rebel series cameras. So instead if a T7, a T7i is the starting point. Similar spec comparison to the Nikon D3x00 vs. D5x00, but canon feels the need to use internal components thst are generstions older than current. So in addition to the reduced feature set, autofocus speed and low light image quality suffer much more than the lower tier nikon bodies compared to midrange cameras in the same brands. As an uograde, it's hard to suggest going from a D3x00 to a D5x00. Skipping to a D7x00 series or a lower tier full frame probably makes more sense. In spite of having full frame cameras, they tend to be my backup or coffin corner cameras and most of my jobs are shot with a D7200 or Fuji X-Pro as a primary.

Got the 3500 but jumped to d7500 after 3 months as its a great camera for learning on . I haven't felt the need to move up yet after Nearly two years but might next year .

Not sure about your prognosis for DSLRs. If the big manufacturers ditch the format and the lenses then other manufacturers will step into the gap especially with lenses. Nikon dropping the F mount has left MILLIONS of camera owners without a main lens supplier so they will either all sell their DSLRs and their glass and start the whole process again or they will turn to another manufacturer like Sigma. I think the latter is far more likely. Good thought provoking video though. Keep it up sir.

Enjoyed the video and you make a lot of good points to help folk really think what they want. What I would say about the 5600 articulated screen is that when not in use it can be turned inwards so its well protected. I've actually had a 5600 for six years and it's still like new. I am considering going Mirrorless but I have found anything yet for a similar price that would give me better images. The 5600 does take beautiful photos.
