The Nikon D5600 is in the middle of the entry-level cameras in Nikon's lineup. I have used a few 5000 Series cameras throughout the years. The really big standout feature of this line of the camera is the fully articulating screen.
Canon EOS 200D is very similar in price and features to this camera. The D5600 has a 24-megapixel APS-C sized sensor, 5 frames a second continuous shooting, 39-point face-detection auto-focus system. 1080p video at 60 fps. It also has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with the SnapBridge application. This camera specially in low light situations. The Nikon has a better face-detection auto-focus system you got 39 points versus 9 points. The battery has a little bit more power on the Nikon. I do think in the Nikon D5600 is more focused on still photography.
Physical Overview:
The camera does have a decent amount of buttons and dials for direct control. In this case, you will have to press a button and adjust with the one single dial. Not a huge extra amount of effort. It works well enough in many cases. On this camera, you do have the info button and the 'i' button. You have direct control to certain features with those two buttons. Does have the usual video record button. Exposure compensation. Flash with flash compensation button. There is one function button. Ports wise, you have mini HDMI with a really interesting door. Wired shutter release port, Mic port, USB port. There is no headphone jack. The viewfinder in this camera it's not amazing. It's very standard of this line of camera. You have the pentamirror 95% coverage. It does have one SD card slot. Very easy to access, no issues there. I would not expect more than that at this level of camera.
So who might benefit from the D5600?
I'd say someone really focused on still photography. if they are already in the Nikon system, most likely a 3000series camera or something even older. I do think this is a good option. Specially if they're focused on still photos. There are many types of videography that do not benefit from auto-focus. Now for still photography, I do think the Nikon is a better option overall. Has a better sensor, has a better autofocus system. Of course, Nikon has a lot of lens options available. I do think for still photography the D5600 is a very nice option. Specially if you are already in the Nikon system at the entry-level.
I hope you know about Nikon D5600.
