For relatively little money, Nikon's entry-level D3500 offers a lot: a very good sensor, high speed, many smart functions, a very long battery life and a large display.

- Very simple operation
- High image quality
- Small sensor
- No 4K video

- Sufficiently high speed for continuous shooting and autofocus
- Compact and handy housing
- Understandable guide mode

- High image quality
- Slow for series
- No 4K videos
