After unveiling its flagship mirrorless Z6 and Z7 cameras recently, Nikon is back this time with something for a more entry-level crowd. Its new D3500 is the successor to the popular D3400 and aims to deliver without breaking the bank.
Design-wise, the D3500 is two ounces lighter than before and has a deeper grip. The controls have been conveniently moved alongside the 921,000-dot LCD, which measures 3-inch and is fixed (no touchscreen either, understandably).
There’s a viewfinder with 95% coverage, too, alongside a flash-release button.
At the front sits a 24.2-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor, with an updated Expeed Image processor and an 11-point autofocus system. ISO supported levels are between 100 and 25600, with a burst mode of 5 fps.
For video, the previous standard of up to 1080p videos at 60 fps is supported, no 4K on this one. It supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards through a single slot.

Connectivity is boosted via SnapBridge app, which allows you to instantly share photos between your phone and camera or use the former as a remote shutter via Bluetooth (no Wi-Fi here). Battery life is boosted to now support up to 1550 shots on a charge, which is an improvement of 30% over its predecessor.
The pricing of the D3500 is set at an alluring $500, which comes with a kit lens by default. An optional AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED lens kit brings the cost further upwards to $849. It seems like a no-frills shooter that could be good for a beginner, without indulgences like Wi-Fi, a movable display or 4K video support.
