Definitely one of the better reviews I've come across for the D5600. A comprehensive review in 18 min. I use the D5600 as my first DSLR and the information was useful. Especially seeing how the LV can be operated and it's limitations. Nice. Thank you.
Wow! Such a great review and overview. Carry on Sir! It's very refreshing to see a straight review without attitude. Let me know if you ever want some music?!?!

I just got this camera and was looking for a good walkthrough. Yours is very thorough and well presented. I’ll be rewatching this as I learn how to use my new camera. Thank you.
This was a fantastic review and certainly useful. I was intrigued to find out my camera could do so much more than I thought! Definitely appreciated the comprehensive breakdown :)

This camera doesn't shot an exposition indicator while pressing the shutter botton? Do you have always to take a look into finder? On my can I have a bar also in manual where the indicator move left to right to see if I'm under or over exposed.
Can anyone help me understand how I can get the focus on my camera to follow my subject and why my camera doesn’t beep even though I have the sound on??
The D5600 does not really do tracking. With AF-C, the camera may detect and refocus on an approaching subject. (Reference manual p84 for more details). There is no focus sound in continuous mode (on this or any camera).
I have a well used D5200. From there I went on to an Olympus OMD EM1 II, and a D750. Recently I bought a Z50. Now I’m kind of going back to basics. After creating my own Picture Control settings, I used to get wonderful results from that old D52’. It’s the same size as the z50, but has the optical VF that I like about the D750. The D52’ is mechanically worn out. But now I’m considering a D56’ as possibly a travel camera that combines the best of what I’v come to value about the Z50, and the D750. It’s not full frame. But otherwise it seems to give great results, and is better suited to travel on a motorcycle. Thank you for your unpretentious, and straightforward review of this under rated camera.
Thanks a lot Maarten, I always enjoy watching your reviews. As is the case with this one, fantastic, in depth, with no nonsense approach. Always a pleasure to watch. :)
Again, a relaxed and considered review which belies the wealth of information provided. You manage to make almost every camera interesting in some way; which of course it is; to someone. I like the puns too!
11:36 you can't use viewfinder while recording video because when video is recorded mirror of the camera is raised. To be able to use optical viewfinder mirror has to be in "normal" position, not raised.
Probably the best review of this camera out there and there are a lot. This is perfectly suited to the type of buyer who will purchase or receive this camera (mine's under the Christmas tree).
What's the confusion? Either is a good choice. Decide with your wallet, your hand (which fits better) and your brand preference or style/design preference.
Excellent Review Maarten, I have been looking for a new camera for some time now and helped by this presentation , I've made my choice , the D5600. Thank -You
Between Nikon d5600 and Canon 200d, would there be any issue in using 9 AF points in Canon as compared to 39 AFP in Nikon for photos..? Also in manual video also are there focus issues in Nikon?
Well, some ... but in my experience most photographers only rarely need 30 points for single AF. It does (and more is better) make a difference when tracking objects in AF-C modes, but if you're not shooting bursts, etc. then probably not.
A question here about using the D5600 for macro imaging (model railroading close-focus images of details on small models). I have a set of Nikon-specific macro extension tubes made by Meike, and a choice of three possible lenses to use with them: my "kit" Nikon AF 18-55 mm zoom, my Nikon 55-200 AF f/1.4-5.6 zoom, or an ancient Nikon 80-200 F/4 zoom. I find it generally easier to work at the greater lens-subject distances available at 100 mm to 200 mm focal lengths. I find it easier to use manual exposure and manual focus with all three of these lenses in macro mode. Is there any reason to prefer one of these lenses over the others for macro work? A dedicated macro lens is not in the budget right now.
I really don't know. Although I have used extension tubes with a Sony lens, I don't have any Nikon specific experience. In my experience with other lenses and tubes, the longer lenses can be more useful as you don't need to be as close to the subject. I've also found that tubes make focus much more fussy. The best way to find out which lens is best for your purpose is to try them and determine which is easier to work with, and which images you prefer.
@@MaartenHeilbron You are amazing in your willingness to respond to individual requests for information. Thanks, and keep up the great work. I am recommending your channel to friends who are into photography.
No. It's not "one sitting" - you can restart again as soon as it stops, it's just not continuous. I look for a break in the action to restart after about 20 minutes.
Can you tell me if there’s a way to remove creases in a background? I took some pictures of my granddaughter but the creases in the screens are horrible. I’m afraid these pictures cannot be saved?
Wich better for photography panasonic g85 or nikon D5600 ? ...my first choice was g85 its good for making video but i also need good camera for photography at same time too .. plzz help me
Hey! Maarteen, I had a question regarding a problem I'm facing using D5600 in the Interval Shooting Mode. It would be very helpful if you please look at the issue and tell me if i am doing something wrong or there's an issue with my camera. The issue i am facing - While shooting in Interval Mode it stops short of number of times i set to shoot for e.g. i set the interval to 3 sec (i am aware of letting the camera sensor to cool down and giving the sd card enough time to write the data so i usually add 2 or 3 sec. More while shooting in Interval mode, so i don't think that's an issue here) and no. Of times to 300 so it should take 300 photos, right? But it stopped after taking 237 shots. And the interval timer was done too, like it doesn't shows resume or off there, acc. To the camera it stops because the shooting is done. Why so? It should take 300 pics instead it stopped after 237 shots. Sorry, that was quite big, but i hope I'll hear from you. Thanks
If you have sufficient card space and battery life, I have no explanation for what's going wrong. Sadly, I no longer have a D5600 to try it out. Your thought about overheating is interesting. Does the camera get hot? What happens if you shoot 1 per second? Or 1 per ten seconds?
@@MaartenHeilbron About the storage and battery life, there's 90GB of free space in my card and battery was charged i guess, maybe battery was the issue (but i used it for half an hour after the shooting to send all the pics in my pc and the camera was on the whole time). About Heating - Camera does gets hot after using for a while near the zoom in and zoom out button. And it does stops shooting if i don't give it enough time to write the data like once i set it for long exposure shooting amd set the interval at 20 sec per shot, it stopped after clicking 3-4 pics, then i reset it to 23 seconds and it worked fine. I guess Heating is the issue here.
All of a sudden I have a screen come up on my picture replay that tells white balance, color ,space, picture, ctrl, quick adjust, sharpening, clarity and so on. Can't figure out how to get rid of it so I can see my pictures.
I purchased the D5300 about 6 months ago and pleased with my results. The D5000 series have been very good cameras for still photography but there are better cameras for video. There are two disappointments though with my camera, first in manual mode you can only alter shutter speed the aperture can’t be changed in this mode. The Nikon D lenses are only manual focus because of the lack of a focus motor which is a minor pain. I had a D7100 but after injuring my shoulder needed a lighter camera.
Probably the best review I have seen for the D5600. One thing I would point out though, the aperture CAN be changed in Live View mode with the 18-55mm kit lens (and maybe the others too). This is perhaps due to a firmware update? I bought my camera in 2018 and have updated the firmware 2 or 3 times since purchase.The current firmware version is v1.1 and v2.018 for Distortion Control Data.
I know only now about Canon eos200d SL2, which one is the best? Seems to have same touch display, 24mp, fullhd 60fps video recording, but canon is cheaper..
I can't tell you which camera is best for you - but I can help you decide: th-cam.com/video/9WiJQF0JXIE/w-d-xo.html I am looking forward to reviewing the Canon SL2.
I appreciate the time you took to review the camera in depth. I really enjoyed the pictures you took as examples. Great video, you should review other cameras.
Still not dated, Nikon are still manufacturing them (2022), and I've just replaced my D3200 with a brand new one. Why not? I already own Nikon and Sigma lenses to fit, which is why I didn't go Nikon mirrorless. I already run Olympus and Fujifilm mirrorless cameras anyway. Great review, Maarten, as ever.
Although it does depend on style, a larger number of focus points does not have a material impact on most photographers. I would judge these cameras to be roughly equal in quality and capability. I would suggest you make your decision based on cost, the fit to your hand and style or brand preference.
Hi Marrten, thank you for this video. I bought a d5100 in 2011 to learn taking pictures. It was a good camera for beginners like me. I also bought a prime lens 35mm and a few other zoom lenses afterwards. Today, I notice a some in my d5100. The picture taken appears slightly tilted down on the right (the bridge looks curving down on the right) regardless of what lens I used. I may send it to Nikon for investigation but I’m think to upgrade it to d5600 or z50 because the repair cost will quite high. What would you do? If I buy d5600, then I can continue to use the lenses I have?
In 2020, for a beginner looking for a camera for stills and video as a secondary. I'm looking between the D5600 and the EOS M50. Looking towards longevity, and a camera that can be used in many situations. Which would you recommend?
I had, but sold a D5500, and almost immediately regretted parting with it. So, even though it's a few technology years behind, I'm picking up a D5600, and hoping its as good as the 5500 if not better. Thanks Maarten for your 'as usual excellent' review!
What a great video. Thank you! What lens would you recommend purchasing with the D5600? I shoot insects and birds primarily. I need a lens that can do close-up (macro) work and can zoom for birds in trees...
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. You'll likely need two lenses - one for macro (about 50mm should work, so you don't have to be so close) and one longer zoom for birding (200mm or more). There are suitable Nikon lenses in several price ranges as well as many third parties with good to great lenses.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you for your quick reply. I am currently using a Nikon Coolpix B500. It was a good beginner camera but I want more options and quality. It is why I'm considering the D5600. Is it possible to buy the body and those two lenses for $900 or less?

I think that both of those are inexpensive lenses that don't take advantage of the full capability of the camera. Feel free to choose the one that meets your needs best, I would suspect that you'll find the 18-55 more versatile.
2024 and I’m buying a D5600. Upgrading from my good old D50 (which I still love), primarily for increased MP, ISO range, dynamic range and articulating screen (I take landscape/nature photos at low or weird angles where its difficult or impossible to get to the viewfinder… and my eyesight isnt what it used to be).
@@MaartenHeilbron If I could afford it I absolutely would… but I can’t, so I won’t. ☺️ But I’m still 100% excited about the upgrade to D5600 👍👍 Cheers!
I just bought my D5600 a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to be at NY Fashion Week this sunday. What would you consider to be the ideal Focus or Autofocus settings while filming/photographing models on the runway? I will be doing photos AND videos. As far as the videos, when the models come forward, I would like the camera to not "noticeably" hunt for the correct lock focus from model to model.
I've only had a couple of chances to shoot a runway - are you in the photographer's pen or in the bleachers? The pen will be easier because the models will focus on you, the bleachers will be more challenging. For photos, I think that live view and touch might be best for focus and snap, but I'm not sure if that will be as effective as manual. Pick the exact spot where the model will be, and setup manual focus for that spot. Leave the camera pointed at that spot and concentrate on getting the shot while they're in your "sweet spot". A slightly smaller aperture (F8) and higher ISO might be best to slightly extend the depth of field.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you so much! I hope to be right in front of the models on the runway like I was at NYFW this past september. After the first hour of the show, many photographers left the event. So I went to the front row. This is a link to the video I made of the NYFW event with my dearly departed Nikon D3400. th-cam.com/video/Mvt6RivMFmU/w-d-xo.html Thanks. Sean Lea

Interesting video. A very comprehensive review. The many different features and settings for auto-focus , metering and post-processing show just how far camera technology has moved in recent years. The D5000 series of cameras are Nikon's entry-to-mid-range level of cameras. Yet many if the features of this camera appeared only on top-end professional cameras just a few years ago. The only really major minus for this camera is lack of 4K video. Many smartphones and compact cameras now feature 4K. Anyway, great video.
That was very kind of you to say, thanks very much. I'm not sure how many consumers are hung up on 4K as a feature - and it helps to differentiate the many (maybe too many) different models in the lineup.
my pocket accepts sony a6000 or nikon d5600 with kit lens and they both are at same price where i live. can u help to choose which one will be the great option? i want to click wildlife, landscape and sometimes sports too.
Both are fine. Do you prefer a larger camera or a smaller one? Do you have any thoughts on DSLR vs Mirrorless? Do you have any previous experience with either brand?
@@MaartenHeilbron I used to shoot with cyber shot and want to upgrade. Never have experience with either Dslr or mirrorless camera. I just want my pictures to clear in bright as well as dim light also. Weight and size is not such a priority for me.
@@psychosis115 Again, both are good choices, but if you have experience with Sony menu, the A6000 (or even better the A6100) might be the better choice,
Maarten, nikon 16-80 f 2.8-4 vs sony zeiss 16-70 f4? Which one you prefer? Is there difference in image quality enough to make a decision? I am yet to get into any of the system. Will get entry level bodies of whichever lens I end up getting. Will be mostly used for trekking and its documentation. Might be walking 10-15 kms a day in high altitude so less weight would be beneficial. Good landscapes are a priority. I like rendering on sony systems in general but nikon is quiet good for landscape work I feel. Also sony system will come out 300 usd cheaper where i live. I don't intend to get any other lens and at least will not decide which system I get. Can you please help me out? Sorry for the long question.
I have not had the chance to compare these lenses side by side. For detailed technical analysis check with dpreview or dxomark. In my opinion, image quality would not be different enough to make the decision based on that factor alone - the other factors (weight, cost) can be used to make a decision.
If you're not a photographer, get the Sony RX10 III or IV ... th-cam.com/video/YGqeezyuifg/w-d-xo.html it's an excellent travel camera, if you want it smaller get the RX100 V th-cam.com/video/GcNa_eFTzkk/w-d-xo.html, but you won't get the long reach you'll get with the excellent lens on the RX10.
What lens is good for this camera to use for up close portraits like school pics or family portraits? My d5600 only came with the 18-55 lens and the 70-300 lens. Can I use any of these lenses for portraits?
I want a beginner camera for photography more than videography ..can you please help me between Nikon d5600 and canon 800D which one would be the best pick //
By default, P sets the shutter and aperture that it feels is best. P* gives you the opportunity to try different combinations that would also provide a properly exposed image. You may want a faster shutter speed for action, or a larger aperture for a softer background.
As there are cameras that do eye detection on cats and dogs, this would not be highest on my list for that purpose. That said, if your skills are up to it, I can take good quality images.
The D5600 is slightly less than ideal for video, but otherwise it's a good choice. Not sure how close you can get to the action, or how much light there is in the venue, so the choice of lens might be more critical than the camera. What other cameras were you considering?
Hello! I plan to buy this along with the 18-140 VR lens. I am going to switch from smartphone to DSLR photography, and I thought this camera would be wonderful to my needs! Thank you for this very informative video. 😊

Hi Maarten, which camera would you recommend for newcomers to photography with a budget under $800(perhaps second hand)? I'm unsure whether I should go for a mirrorless or DSLR, as I'm still learning about the differences between them. Appreciate your reply! :)
It depends on your intentions and needs. In that price range, the used market is certainly the place to look, and you will likely find more quality DSLRs at lower prices.
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks for the reply. I'm just a amerture photographer. My older camera doesnt have WiFi or Bluetooth which would be really useful when transferring photos to my phone. And the lcd screen on that one has started to turn black around the corners. I thought of replacing the screen but it would be cost effective to just sell the camera with the kit lens and get a new one. I'm thinking of getting the nikon because I can use the other nikon lenses that I have. If I go with the Canon then I would've to replace those two lenses and get Canon ones.

Both are good choices. Nikon changed the configuration losing some features while adding others - it’s a choice you have to make based on your needs and preferences.
I upgraded from the D3400 to the D5600. I found this video super informative and I learned some features I wasn’t aware of, so thanks! I do find though that the full time servo AF inconsistent when filming vlogs or exercise demos (we’re a fitness channel). Any tips? Thanks for all the work you put into these videos.
Glad it was helpful! However, there are very few DSLR-style cameras (the D780 is one) that has the ability to provide full time autofocus in video mode. My tip is to use manual focus and keep the distance between camera and performer fairly constant and to use B-roll. Thanks for your kind words.
Does anyone know if the Nikon d5300 has the exact same effects as this, the D5600? Those video effects (how the camera can record)? from about 1355 to 1405?

Excellent Review Maarten, I have been looking for a new camera for some time now and helped by this presentation , I've made my choice , the D5600. Thank -You
Thank you for your kind words, always glad to hear you've found a solution that works for you.
Between Nikon d5600 and Canon 200d, would there be any issue in using 9 AF points in Canon as compared to 39 AFP in Nikon for photos..? Also in manual video also are there focus issues in Nikon?
Well, some ... but in my experience most photographers only rarely need 30 points for single AF. It does (and more is better) make a difference when tracking objects in AF-C modes, but if you're not shooting bursts, etc. then probably not.
maarten you are killing this with so much good reviews
Thanks for the kind words, please accept my apologies.
A question here about using the D5600 for macro imaging (model railroading close-focus images of details on small models). I have a set of Nikon-specific macro extension tubes made by Meike, and a choice of three possible lenses to use with them: my "kit" Nikon AF 18-55 mm zoom, my Nikon 55-200 AF f/1.4-5.6 zoom, or an ancient Nikon 80-200 F/4 zoom. I find it generally easier to work at the greater lens-subject distances available at 100 mm to 200 mm focal lengths. I find it easier to use manual exposure and manual focus with all three of these lenses in macro mode. Is there any reason to prefer one of these lenses over the others for macro work? A dedicated macro lens is not in the budget right now.
I really don't know. Although I have used extension tubes with a Sony lens, I don't have any Nikon specific experience. In my experience with other lenses and tubes, the longer lenses can be more useful as you don't need to be as close to the subject. I've also found that tubes make focus much more fussy.
The best way to find out which lens is best for your purpose is to try them and determine which is easier to work with, and which images you prefer.

I appreciate the kind words, always nice to know that my videos are useful to my viewers. Thanks.
Can the video recording time be increased to more than 30 minutes in one sitting if the setting is less than 1080p?
No. It's not "one sitting" - you can restart again as soon as it stops, it's just not continuous. I look for a break in the action to restart after about 20 minutes.
Maarten Heilbron Thank you
Always happy to help.
i luv the way you explaned everything detailed, thank you sir
You are most welcome, thanks for your kind words.
Can you tell me if there’s a way to remove creases in a background? I took some pictures of my granddaughter but the creases in the screens are horrible. I’m afraid these pictures cannot be saved?
How well do you know photoshop? Or do you know someone who's good with it?
Wich better for photography panasonic g85 or nikon D5600 ? ...my first choice was g85 its good for making video but i also need good camera for photography at same time too .. plzz help me
There are too many factors involved here for me to make a suitable recommendation for you. Both can be good choices.
Thx you for replied@@MaartenHeilbron .. this is hard decision to make 🤔🤔
Always happy to help.
Why have you advised against 18-55 kit lens?
Because the camera can provide higher quality images than this lens.
I was searching for a review of Nikon d5600 which ends here.As i got review in detail from this channel.well explained i love D5600.
Always nice to hear that a viewer found satisfaction on my channel - thanks for the kind words.
Hey! Maarteen,
I had a question regarding a problem I'm facing using D5600 in the Interval Shooting Mode. It would be very helpful if you please look at the issue and tell me if i am doing something wrong or there's an issue with my camera.
The issue i am facing - While shooting in Interval Mode it stops short of number of times i set to shoot for e.g. i set the interval to 3 sec (i am aware of letting the camera sensor to cool down and giving the sd card enough time to write the data so i usually add 2 or 3 sec. More while shooting in Interval mode, so i don't think that's an issue here) and no. Of times to 300 so it should take 300 photos, right? But it stopped after taking 237 shots. And the interval timer was done too, like it doesn't shows resume or off there, acc. To the camera it stops because the shooting is done. Why so? It should take 300 pics instead it stopped after 237 shots.
Sorry, that was quite big, but i hope I'll hear from you. Thanks
If you have sufficient card space and battery life, I have no explanation for what's going wrong. Sadly, I no longer have a D5600 to try it out.
Your thought about overheating is interesting. Does the camera get hot? What happens if you shoot 1 per second? Or 1 per ten seconds?
@@MaartenHeilbron About the storage and battery life, there's 90GB of free space in my card and battery was charged i guess, maybe battery was the issue (but i used it for half an hour after the shooting to send all the pics in my pc and the camera was on the whole time).
About Heating - Camera does gets hot after using for a while near the zoom in and zoom out button. And it does stops shooting if i don't give it enough time to write the data like once i set it for long exposure shooting amd set the interval at 20 sec per shot, it stopped after clicking 3-4 pics, then i reset it to 23 seconds and it worked fine. I guess Heating is the issue here.
All of a sudden I have a screen come up on my picture replay that tells white balance, color ,space, picture, ctrl, quick adjust, sharpening, clarity and so on. Can't figure out how to get rid of it so I can see my pictures.
There are lots of playback display options. The manual explains better (with pictures) than I can. Page 188
I purchased the D5300 about 6 months ago and pleased with my results. The D5000 series have been very good cameras for still photography but there are better cameras for video. There are two disappointments though with my camera, first in manual mode you can only alter shutter speed the aperture can’t be changed in this mode. The Nikon D lenses are only manual focus because of the lack of a focus motor which is a minor pain. I had a D7100 but after injuring my shoulder needed a lighter camera.
If you can't change the aperture in manual mode - that's a shortcoming of the lens, not the camera.
Probably the best review I have seen for the D5600. One thing I would point out though, the aperture CAN be changed in Live View mode with the 18-55mm kit lens (and maybe the others too). This is perhaps due to a firmware update? I bought my camera in 2018 and have updated the firmware 2 or 3 times since purchase.The current firmware version is v1.1 and v2.018 for Distortion Control Data.
Thanks for the kind news and the update, that's useful information.
Please which is better for photograhy nikon d5600 or canon m50?
Although they are not best in class, they are both very suitable, particularly for novice photographers.
@@MaartenHeilbron ok so what would you recommend for me as a beginner in photograhy?
@@abdelrahmanhesham9558 The Fujifilm X-S10, the Sony A6100, the Nikon Z50.
I have a nikon dx af-s nikkor 18-55mm lens currently suited on my D80, I was wondering if the D5600 would be compatible.
Nikon F mount lenses are compatible across all Nikon DSLR models, although there are variations in operation.
I know only now about Canon eos200d SL2, which one is the best? Seems to have same touch display, 24mp, fullhd 60fps video recording, but canon is cheaper..
I can't tell you which camera is best for you - but I can help you decide: th-cam.com/video/9WiJQF0JXIE/w-d-xo.html
I am looking forward to reviewing the Canon SL2.
Maarten Heilbron the problem is that they're quite similar, a lot, maybe system settings or something else, image quality? Thanks for the moment :)
That's correct, they're small differences - you have to decide what's more important to you.
The best review of Nikon D5600 I have ever seen
Wow, thanks! A pleasure to read your kind words.
I appreciate the time you took to review the camera in depth. I really enjoyed the pictures you took as examples. Great video, you should review other cameras.
Thanks for your kind words. You should check out my channel, I’ve reviewed lots.
Still not dated, Nikon are still manufacturing them (2022), and I've just replaced my D3200 with a brand new one. Why not? I already own Nikon and Sigma lenses to fit, which is why I didn't go Nikon mirrorless. I already run Olympus and Fujifilm mirrorless cameras anyway. Great review, Maarten, as ever.
Glad to hear, thanks for the update.
Sir great review but I have a doubt which one to choose canon 750D or Nikon D5600 750D has 19AF and Nikon has 39 somewhat which one sir ?
Although it does depend on style, a larger number of focus points does not have a material impact on most photographers. I would judge these cameras to be roughly equal in quality and capability. I would suggest you make your decision based on cost, the fit to your hand and style or brand preference.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you sir :)
Always happy to help.
Hi Marrten, thank you for this video. I bought a d5100 in 2011 to learn taking pictures. It was a good camera for beginners like me. I also bought a prime lens 35mm and a few other zoom lenses afterwards. Today, I notice a some in my d5100. The picture taken appears slightly tilted down on the right (the bridge looks curving down on the right) regardless of what lens I used. I may send it to Nikon for investigation but I’m think to upgrade it to d5600 or z50 because the repair cost will quite high. What would you do? If I buy d5600, then I can continue to use the lenses I have?
Do you mean that it looks that the image (referring to the horizon) is not level? Are you using the level in the display to make sure it is aligned?
In 2020, for a beginner looking for a camera for stills and video as a secondary. I'm looking between the D5600 and the EOS M50. Looking towards longevity, and a camera that can be used in many situations. Which would you recommend?
As a camera, you're better off with the D5600. More excellent lenses are available.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you!
Other than Snapbridge what is the Difference between the Nikon D5500 and the Nikon D5600

dear amigo, thank you for your reviews they are very easy to follow and get it! no super tech, not too basic, I just love it! Thanks!
That's very kind of you to say, thanks for taking the time to comment.
always my pleasure, thanks for the kind words
Do you think this camera would be good for mostly video use vs. photos? I'm looking for an entry to mid level DSLR camera for filmmaking / YT videos
You would be better off with a mirrorless camera.
I had, but sold a D5500, and almost immediately regretted parting with it. So, even though it's a few technology years behind, I'm picking up a D5600, and hoping its as good as the 5500 if not better. Thanks Maarten for your 'as usual excellent' review!
I appreciate the kind words. I'm sure you'll be happy.
you can't use the view finder to record video because the mirror is flipped up during video recording...
Oh!
What a great video. Thank you! What lens would you recommend purchasing with the D5600? I shoot insects and birds primarily. I need a lens that can do close-up (macro) work and can zoom for birds in trees...
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. You'll likely need two lenses - one for macro (about 50mm should work, so you don't have to be so close) and one longer zoom for birding (200mm or more). There are suitable Nikon lenses in several price ranges as well as many third parties with good to great lenses.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you for your quick reply. I am currently using a Nikon Coolpix B500. It was a good beginner camera but I want more options and quality. It is why I'm considering the D5600. Is it possible to buy the body and those two lenses for $900 or less?

Both are good choices, but I would caution you that neither are preferred for video.
Maarten Heilbron Ok, thanks a lot for your feedback
Always my pleasure
While purchasing Nikon D5600,. Which lens should I buy as kit lens.. 18-55 and 55-300mm or with 18 - 140mm ?!
I think that both of those are inexpensive lenses that don't take advantage of the full capability of the camera. Feel free to choose the one that meets your needs best, I would suspect that you'll find the 18-55 more versatile.
2024 and I’m buying a D5600. Upgrading from my good old D50 (which I still love), primarily for increased MP, ISO range, dynamic range and articulating screen (I take landscape/nature photos at low or weird angles where its difficult or impossible to get to the viewfinder… and my eyesight isnt what it used to be).
Sounds like a good plan, unless you're ready to go mirrorless.
@@MaartenHeilbron If I could afford it I absolutely would… but I can’t, so I won’t. ☺️ But I’m still 100% excited about the upgrade to D5600 👍👍
Cheers!
How do we thether shoot using a D5600 and Lightroom Classic CC?
I didn't try that, but I'm sure that Google can help find the solution.
I just bought my D5600 a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to be at NY Fashion Week this sunday. What would you consider to be the ideal Focus or Autofocus settings while filming/photographing models on the runway? I will be doing photos AND videos. As far as the videos, when the models come forward, I would like the camera to not "noticeably" hunt for the correct lock focus from model to model.
I've only had a couple of chances to shoot a runway - are you in the photographer's pen or in the bleachers? The pen will be easier because the models will focus on you, the bleachers will be more challenging. For photos, I think that live view and touch might be best for focus and snap, but I'm not sure if that will be as effective as manual. Pick the exact spot where the model will be, and setup manual focus for that spot. Leave the camera pointed at that spot and concentrate on getting the shot while they're in your "sweet spot". A slightly smaller aperture (F8) and higher ISO might be best to slightly extend the depth of field.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you so much! I hope to be right in front of the models on the runway like I was at NYFW this past september. After the first hour of the show, many photographers left the event. So I went to the front row. This is a link to the video I made of the NYFW event with my dearly departed Nikon D3400. th-cam.com/video/Mvt6RivMFmU/w-d-xo.html Thanks. Sean Lea
@@MrXelsior Right. Looks good - one suggestion is to get the camera a little higher so you're not shooting into the lights so much.
@@MaartenHeilbron Ok thank you. I think I was actually kneeling down on my knees the entire time so that photographers behind me were able to see. haha
@@MrXelsior If possible bring a small step ladder to get you above everyone else's heads, then you can position yourself at the back - that's an old red carpet interview trick.
Hi Maarten, the AF-area mode is disabled in the menu in my D5600. How can I fix it?
Not sure ... have you tried changing focus modes (single/continuous)?
that's the best review i have ever heard....long live so that we can see more and more review.
Thanks for taking the time to comment with such nice words, appreciated.
Interesting video. A very comprehensive review. The many different features and settings for auto-focus , metering and post-processing show just how far camera technology has moved in recent years.
The D5000 series of cameras are Nikon's entry-to-mid-range level of cameras. Yet many if the features of this camera appeared only on top-end professional cameras just a few years ago.
The only really major minus for this camera is lack of 4K video. Many smartphones and compact cameras now feature 4K.
Anyway, great video.
That was very kind of you to say, thanks very much. I'm not sure how many consumers are hung up on 4K as a feature - and it helps to differentiate the many (maybe too many) different models in the lineup.
I have nikon d5600, i got kit lenses, i wanna buy new lenses which are suitable for videos and can shoot sharply, any suggestions?
Sigma and Rokinon make some nice cine lenses with Nikon F mounts.
my pocket accepts sony a6000 or nikon d5600 with kit lens and they both are at same price where i live. can u help to choose which one will be the great option? i want to click wildlife, landscape and sometimes sports too.
Both are fine. Do you prefer a larger camera or a smaller one? Do you have any thoughts on DSLR vs Mirrorless? Do you have any previous experience with either brand?
@@MaartenHeilbron I used to shoot with cyber shot and want to upgrade. Never have experience with either Dslr or mirrorless camera. I just want my pictures to clear in bright as well as dim light also. Weight and size is not such a priority for me.
@@psychosis115 Again, both are good choices, but if you have experience with Sony menu, the A6000 (or even better the A6100) might be the better choice,
why you prefer in NL minus Sharpness and minus Saturation?
Personal prefer, that just feels more natural to me.
Maarten, nikon 16-80 f 2.8-4 vs sony zeiss 16-70 f4? Which one you prefer? Is there difference in image quality enough to make a decision?
I am yet to get into any of the system. Will get entry level bodies of whichever lens I end up getting. Will be mostly used for trekking and its documentation. Might be walking 10-15 kms a day in high altitude so less weight would be beneficial. Good landscapes are a priority. I like rendering on sony systems in general but nikon is quiet good for landscape work I feel. Also sony system will come out 300 usd cheaper where i live. I don't intend to get any other lens and at least will not decide which system I get.
Can you please help me out? Sorry for the long question.
I have not had the chance to compare these lenses side by side. For detailed technical analysis check with dpreview or dxomark. In my opinion, image quality would not be different enough to make the decision based on that factor alone - the other factors (weight, cost) can be used to make a decision.
How come you would advice against the 18-55mm kit?
Because I've compared it to other lenses and ... th-cam.com/video/Rbn1PQ3irPc/w-d-xo.htmlm39s

Lenses for travel
If you're not a photographer, get the Sony RX10 III or IV ... th-cam.com/video/YGqeezyuifg/w-d-xo.html it's an excellent travel camera, if you want it smaller get the RX100 V th-cam.com/video/GcNa_eFTzkk/w-d-xo.html, but you won't get the long reach you'll get with the excellent lens on the RX10.
What lens is good for this camera to use for up close portraits like school pics or family portraits? My d5600 only came with the 18-55 lens and the 70-300 lens. Can I use any of these lenses for portraits?
The 18-55 is usable, but you might be happier with a 35mm or 50mm prime that has a larger aperture.
Thank you! @@MaartenHeilbron

I want a beginner camera for photography more than videography ..can you please help me between Nikon d5600 and canon 800D which one would be the best pick //
They would both be best picks, so choose with your wallet, your hand and your heart.
Best detailed review I have ever seen. .. Sir please tell which is to buy in 2020.. Nikon D5600 or D3500.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. Between those two, I take the D5600.
What is the difference between the P and the P* mode again?
By default, P sets the shutter and aperture that it feels is best. P* gives you the opportunity to try different combinations that would also provide a properly exposed image. You may want a faster shutter speed for action, or a larger aperture for a softer background.
Hi, wuld you recomend this camers for pets portraits please???

I need a camera for hybrid shooting 50/50 photos and video for martial arts and mma what would you recommend??
The D5600 is slightly less than ideal for video, but otherwise it's a good choice. Not sure how close you can get to the action, or how much light there is in the venue, so the choice of lens might be more critical than the camera.
What other cameras were you considering?
@@MaartenHeilbron The Canon T7i or the Sl2 or perhaps a Panasonic G7
T7i is my top choice but also the most expensive
Any of those are good - Canon is better because of the better lens selection. The G7 is an excellent video choice, but I'd prefer Canon for stills.
You get what you pay for - it is still an entry level camera.

Hi Maarten, which camera would you recommend for newcomers to photography with a budget under $800(perhaps second hand)? I'm unsure whether I should go for a mirrorless or DSLR, as I'm still learning about the differences between them. Appreciate your reply! :)
It depends on your intentions and needs. In that price range, the used market is certainly the place to look, and you will likely find more quality DSLRs at lower prices.
I have a d5200 Im debating on whether to get d5600 or Canon 77d. Both seems to be great.
Both would be good choices. But what specifically are you hoping to improve with this upgrade?
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks for the reply. I'm just a amerture photographer. My older camera doesnt have WiFi or Bluetooth which would be really useful when transferring photos to my phone. And the lcd screen on that one has started to turn black around the corners. I thought of replacing the screen but it would be cost effective to just sell the camera with the kit lens and get a new one. I'm thinking of getting the nikon because I can use the other nikon lenses that I have. If I go with the Canon then I would've to replace those two lenses and get Canon ones.

Can we turn of wifi and Bluetooth when not in use. I see it flashing and that would be waste of battery.
Yes, it can be turned off.

For a beginner who is interested in travel photography and wants to attempt making short travel videos, would you recommend Nikon D5600 or Canon M50?
Both could be good, depending on the size you want, and the selection of lenses you're looking for.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you for your prompt reply. :)
@@khushboomotihar9822 always happy to help
Is the autofocus better on the d5600 compare to d5500?
Yes, although in most shooting situations I don't notice the difference.
Thanks for the reply. By the way is it better to buy the d5500 if I don't need snapbridge? I am planning to buy one mainly for making videos.
If my primary purpose was video production, I would buy a mirrorless camera.
