About this model
The Nikon D5600 is a compact, easy-to-carry DSLR that suits beginners and enthusiasts alike. Its 24.2-megapixel DX-format (APS-C) sensor delivers clean low-light images and natural background blur, while the 39-point autofocus system tracks moving subjects reliably. The 3.2-inch vari-angle touchscreen makes it simple to shoot from high or low angles, and built-in SnapBridge keeps a constant Bluetooth link to your phone for quick sharing. This kit includes the AF-S DX 18-105mm VR zoom, a versatile all-round lens with Vibration Reduction for sharper handheld shots. It is a great choice if you want proper DSLR image quality and room to grow with Nikon's F-mount lens range.
