Review on D5600 DX-format Digital SLR Body: Unleash Your Photography Potential by Christopher Yap

I have had a Nikon since 1962 but this will probably be my last. In 2018, we're about to embark on an extended journey, and we need a camera with a large sensor that easily connects to a smartphone and tablet for sharing and backup. Nikon lets you use their Snapbridge app for both. Using the bluetooth side to take pictures was incredibly tedious and required "forgetting" the camera multiple times to reconnect. Never could connect to Wi-Fi. I'd like Wi-Fi only, but all connections require Snapbridge. There is no workaround that I have found. The camera firmware is up to date. I recently worked for over an hour when Nikon released version 2.0.3 to get everything working. All I achieved was draining a fully charged battery in that time due to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi power drain. I wish I'd paid more attention to the bad reviews here and on other forums, but I honestly felt the app couldn't be that bad. That. I have a Panasonic Lumix travel camera and a Lumix bridge camera and have no problem connecting them to other devices via Wi-Fi. For now, the new D5600 will stay on the shelf and the Panasonics will go with us. I hope Nikon resolves their Snapbridge issues before other loyal customers look elsewhere. EDIT July 2019: My original review is dated November 2017. In May 2019 Nikon finally released a firmware update for the D5600 bringing smoother Wi-Fi connectivity. I installed the update and now I can connect to WiFi without any problems. But even with the update, Nikon's instructions don't apply to all smart devices. I have a phone running Android 8.1.0 and ended up writing my own step-by-step guides that work fine. Due to the firmware update, I've raised my rating to 4 stars. It could have been five stars if the features of the Lumix and Sony cameras I use hadn't surpassed Nikon's efforts, even with a firmware update. Too bad it took Nikon almost two years to catch up with its competitors.
