Not a bad product, but you can do better.

I wouldn't recommend this model to beginners. The camera is good, but to use it you will need to familiarize yourself with the basics of photography. I took it in the status of a beginner and the "guide mode" made shooting easier for me, but did not teach me anything. There was a lot of reading and viewing before I got the quality photos I wanted. I came across a lot of reviews - "pictures are not very good", "my phone shoots better", etc. People do not understand that fine tuning is needed for high-quality photographs, if you do not understand anything about this, this camera is not for you. In phone cameras, everything is calculated for you by the program, in cameras of this level you should already be fond of photography, otherwise the result will upset you. The tuition fee of 30,000 is not suitable for everyone. At a certain stage (if you are developing, of course), you will encounter the fact that the camera does not suit you. But selling it will be problematic. Professionals will not buy it, and a beginner will be confused by the price and buying it from hand.

Pros
  • Lightweight, ergonomic. Cool kit lenses. Excellent stabilization (it is not mentioned anywhere, but it is hidden in the lens under the abbreviation VR) In my case, AF-P 18-55mm DX VR and AF-P 70-300mm DX for all occasions. The Guide Mode function will simplify the setup of the camera for high-quality shooting by a beginner. Shooting is excellent (with the right settings and post-processing) Good build quality. Nothing backlash, no cracks, no scuffs, after a year of intensive use.
Cons
  • Non-rotatable, non-touch rear screen. Nothing closes. When worn around the neck, there is a fear of scratching it with a zipper or buttons. Very weak battery. As luck would have it, he sits down at the most inopportune moment. You will not be able to recharge your camera at the right time if there is no outlet nearby. The lack of Wi-Fi makes it impossible for you to use your phone as a remote monitor. Video shooting only in 1080. The duration of shooting in max quality is 10 minutes! There is no jack for connecting an external microphone. It follows that this model is not suitable for video shooting at all. I bought a camera in the States, there is no 2022 language and you can’t add it in any way. Nikon's support responded to this question something like this: - "Where you bought it, go there." There is no accompanying documentation for the camera, help is only available online.
