Share photos that tell stories

The difference is in the details

The image sensor in the Nikon D3500 is approximately 15 times larger than those used in typical smartphones. That means much sharper, clearer photos with richer details — photos that immediately grab attention and get likes.

Colours that pop in any light

Inside every DSLR is a specialised computer that fine-tunes the settings for each shot. Nikon's renowned EXPEED image processing system is built upon a rich history of imaging know-how, and it helps the Nikon D3500 take beautifully vibrant photos and videos in nearly any condition.

Videos at the touch of a button

Recording beautiful video with the Nikon D3500 is as easy as shooting photos. Just flip the Live View lever and press the record button. You'll be capturing the sights and sounds in awesome 1080/60p Full HD video with stereo sound. Use your lens' zoom capability to shoot wide-angle videos or tight close-ups.

Picture after amazing picture

Some of the best moments only last a split second. Press and hold the shutter button on the Nikon D3500 and capture up to 5 frames per second at full resolution with tack-sharp focus, ensuring you land the shot that matters.

Fast, accurate focusing

Unlike typical smartphones, fast-moving subjects are no problem for the Nikon D3500. 11 autofocus points are spread across the frame, and full-time AF locks onto your subject and keeps it in focus while you capture amazing shot after shot.

AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens

Updating the staple DX-format standard zoom, the AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR from Nikon offers a 27-82.5mm equivalent focal length range as well as an especially sleek form factor. Two aspherical elements are featured in the optical design, which helps to control spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realise high sharpness and accurate rendering. A Super Integrated Coating is also used to minimise flare and ghosting for greater contrast and colour accuracy. Suiting both photo and video applications, the AF-P designation indicates the use of a pulse stepping motor that offers notably quiet, fast, and precise autofocus performance. Additionally, Vibration Reduction image stabilisation compensates for up to four stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Lens

An essential lens if ever there was one, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G from Nikon is the classic normal-length prime featuring a bright maximum aperture and lightweight design. Corresponding to the natural field of view, the 50mm focal length is well-suited for a wide variety of subjects, including everything from landscape to portraiture.

One aspherical element is featured in the optical design to minimise spherical aberrations and distortion for high sharpness and accurate rendering. A Super Integrated Coating also suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour accuracy. Additionally, the Silent Wave Motor affords fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
