Overall good, but I expected more, there are disadvantages.

There was an experience of using models d3000, 3100, 3200, d90, d300. If you do not take more expensive models, then this camera is almost no different from its predecessors. If you just shoot anything or just in the same, constant conditions as in a studio, then it’s not bad, but depending on what you shoot. In the default settings with colors, there is a problem, I had to adjust it manually to the result that suits me. Overall, not bad, but not good either. Many hybrids now shoot better, but they have their own difficulties.

Pros

Many possibilities, enough megapixels, if you get used to it, it's convenient, price, compact, lightweight. The screen lies less than on previous models.

Cons

The same as the D3200 model, only more expensive and with slightly higher resolution. There are many features that you will never use, but you have to pay for them. Shooting with live view is almost impossible, the built-in microphone for video records everything, including a lot of noise. The battery is sooo weak, but this is for my needs in shooting without video, and if you shoot with a lot of live view, it will sit down in an hour. Ergonomics for an amateur. The screen is lying.
