This video just confirmed that the Nikon D3500 will be my first DSLR camera. Merry Christmas to me.
Don't buy it!
@@giladkingsley why?
I bought it today. I’ll let you know if it’s worth it.
@@ortizphotography9997 Sweet.
Just commenting so I see the reply:)
Photo Genius, you are a superlative communicator. You make the concepts easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching 👍
A lot of good information and I love the humor thrown in here and there. The end was just perfect. And the little smile you do after the small sections is very lovely.
Appreciate the feedback - thank you so much for supporting my channel.
Mimose , the smile is creepy at best ...
Yeah, the guy doesn't fucking blink
Dude doesn't blink his eyes!
I'm an android.
Jesus, dude you're right!
robot detected, SKYNET is here!
hahaha, oh no, now I can't stop staring at his eyes!
i cant un-notice this 🤦♂️
Just bought my nikon d3500, thanks for the tutorial!
You are very welcome Mark, hope you are having fun with your new camera.
Paul @ Photo Genius.
i bought the camera today.. took it straight out of the box and started shooting.. the pics I took today i am very impressed with.. did some editing with Picsart with a HDR filter... was very impressed with the results... still learning how to use my camera... this video was very very helpful..
Thanks for watching - have fun with your new camera.
👍
I just bought this camera about two weeks ago. I'm loving it! I look forward to more videos from you about it.
Will definitely be featuring the D3500 in future videos - please consider subscribing so you don't miss out. Thanks for watching 👍
I've had my D3500 for a while now, mine came with 2 lenses the 18-55 and also a 70-300 included with a small bag too. Love the ease of use, now trying to expand my knowledge of photography. Your channel has been a great help thanks.
Thanks for the feedback Larry, I appreciate the support.
How is the video quality buddy....I have ordered the camera and I need to know about the video quality how is it ...I wanna record rap music videos
@@Yaaro01129 Haven't done much video with it yet What little I have done seems pretty good.
I will be using my D3500 tonight for the first time to take starry night pictures from a rural location. No light pollution whatsoever. Looking forward to using my new camera. Thankyou for all the information. Look forward to learning more.

Why do we always seek ways to diminish people. If you wouldn't say it to his face you should not make the comment online.
@@markkent394 Lol I see it as a compliment. Staring contests are not easy to win
@@markkent394 if you'd say it to his face you'd prolly win .... :)
definately agree with you. not a blink unbelibable😄
Only 92.9k ,this channel deserves 1M
Thank you very much 😀
finally the much waited review is here and it's great as usual.. thank you for this.. love from India 🙂
Welcome, thanks for your support.
Great review and tutorial all in one. Planning to buy my D3500 too.
Nikon D3500 is my 1st DSLR - got it today. This tutorial was very helpful. Thanks!
You are very welcome, have fun with your new camera.
I just bought one myself. ^_^
Me2. Choosing between the canon rebel and the nikon was hard. No mic jack...but the nikon is set up better for the night astrophotographer.
I thought it was mirror less so that's a disappointment but it will take pics of the sky at night.
Great video! My daughter was debating between a Nikon D3500 and a Canon EOS Rebel SL2 for a photography class she's taking in college. They both appear to have virtually the same stats, although I've read that the 3500 is better for photos and the SL2 is better for video.
I feel the image quality is (only) slightly better with the D3500, but they are both great cameras and if video is also of interest then the SL2 or newer SL3 wins hands down.
thanks for watching.
I love this review. You had me laughing when your daughter came in asking for her $5. Too funny! Anyways, my dad bought me this camera and I’m learning to use it.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Rebecca, have fun with your new camera 👍👍
based on your review, I am seriously thinking of buying this camera. I will watch this video one more time then make a final decision, thank you.
It’s a cool camera, but whatever you end up buying just make sure you don’t just stay in auto - watch my videos and learn how to have fun and be more creative with your camera. Thanks for watching 👍👍
There’s a wheel on the top right to change the ISO, it’s actually faster than the D3400.
Do I have to hold another button while turning the wheel?
*No reply*
The wheel changes the shutter speed until you press the "i" button then toggle to iso. Then press enter and you toggle between iso setting. I'm not sure the wheel does iso at all.
He shows how to change iso at around 11:25 in the video.
Is this true?
@@joseponce2464 yes
Thanks for the review. Just bought one on the spur of the moment for the wife - to get her back into photography. Will see if she likes it, and point her to your channel if she starts taking photos again.
I'm sure she will love it - thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
This is the video that I saw after subscription. Wow, in just around 18 minutes, you taught me a hell lot of things than I could have not mastered even after reading a photography book. Thank you. You have a great technique for explaining things without technical jargon. Hats off. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much - your support is really appreciated.
👍
Just bought a refurbished off Nikon super stoked to learn how to use it.
why do we not have more people this good at reviewing things... gave me exactly what I wanted and very informative and straight forward. awesome stuff
Thank you for your kind feedback and for watching.
quite informative, this guy deserves more subs for sure
Thank you - much appreciated 😀
I’ve had my D3500 for a year and love it. Received two new lenses for Christmas (35mm and 18mm-140mm) and can’t wait to use them (my kit came with the 18mm - 55mm and the 70mm to 300mm when purchased). I’d agree with most of Paul’s remarks and it is a very honest review. Also, wish I lived in Australia because it’d be a fun experience to explore your class, Paul. Cheers from Iowa, USA.
Have fun with your new lenses Keith. The 35mm is especially great 👍
Thanks for supporting my channel.
Paul @ Photo Genius.
Great review. I actually purchased the 3400 based on your review. I don’t see a need to move to the 3509, I’m really happy with my 3400 and I can see an improvement in my pictures.
The D3500 would not be an upgrade - the D3400 is a great camera, better to invest in a new lens.
Have fun with your camera - thanks for watching.
Hi, can I ask you something?
I want to make video's for my youtube channel with my nikon d3500 but I need a gimbal because the footage isn't stable at all.
I almost ordered the Ronin SC but then I saw it doesn't support my camera. Do you know any gimbals that work with the D3500?
following, want to know answer too
I'm sorry I haven't had the opportunity to test any gimbals for DSLR cameras.
I may start featuring more videography tips and reviews in future videos if I get enough interest.
The Bluetooth works but is sort of slow. The camera control part works but I'm not experienced enough to say how well.
I think it's basically a remote shutter button. You're not going to change settings remotely tho.
One of the best reviews/presentations I’ve seen on UA-cam its quite evident you are an instructor by your communication skills and examples. thanks for the review - you’ve convinced me to pick up the D3500!
Thank you Jason, appreciate your feedback. I hope you have fun with your D3500 and come back for more tips.
Paul @ Photo Genius.
Got mine today, watched this video and get satisfied on what ive got. Thank you!
You will love it - thanks for watching.
I like the way he explains the highs and lows about, at the end explains it's a good camera to start out with(:
i bought this camera last month loved you video about it but i dont have any way to switch off vr yes i watched how you did it but its not on mine so my first job was to ditch my 18/55 af/p and get the older one af/s with the switch so i can use my tripod. keep up the good work im learning a lot thank you
If there is no VR on/off switch on the lens then go into the cameras shooting menu and look for optical VR.
Omg I was not expecting your daughter at the end, that was so cute/funny. 😂
She pops up occasionally in my videos - thanks for watching to the end.
you can get the single lens kit then a Tamron 18 - 200mm, 18-400mm, or or best 16 - 300 mm lens all of which are by tamron and enable saving money
Just ordered this Camera after much research. Now after watching this i cant wait for it to arrive. I'll re watch this when it comes as loads of help learning how to us it!!
Thanks for watching - I've made a few videos sharing tips on the D3500, so take sure you check them out and have fun with your new camera.
Nice one 👍 just seen two reviews from wonabees? 😭Then seen yours and another pro reviews and feeling better about this DSLR . Was thinking the d5600 but lots more video then I need. Cheers
You will love it.
First off, Great Tutorials ! I have had this camera a couple of months now and the snapbridge feature works great.
Thanks for watching, pleased to hear Snapbridge is working well for you.
I just got this camera on Black Friday. I'm using it to learn photography :)
To get the most from your camera, check out my other Nikon videos and start learning about how to use the Manual modes.
Photo Genius Will do. Thank you!
I just received this camera as gift from my girlfriend, and love it. Thank You for the great tutorial, will now be watching your channel on a regular basis.
What a great gift 😀
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel, hope you continue to learn heaps and have fun with your new camera.
tjmeyer11 Did she rub it in yet?
Awesome review - clear and informative. Thank you! The link to your photo gallery no longer works however... was hoping to check out the images you took with this camera!
I'm afraid it's a link to the old website, sorry.
Thumbs Up, Subbed and Turned the Bell On - You are great, love the end joke. You are great at presenting information in a clear and engaging way.
Thanks for your support and taking the time to comment, lots more videos and a few jokes and bonus tips also for those who make it to the end of the videos 😀
What is the quality of the photos?
Is it better or the same as in panasonic fz 1000?
Would you recommend it to the advanced amateur?
This or some initial dslr model?
Thank you!
That a really useful, well presented video. Thanks.
😀 Always happy to help
Thanks for the review Paul very helpful as I’m looking to get a Nikon d3500 at Christmas time to help me learn about different parts of photography. Thanks again!
Hold it right there mate!! :D
If you can get a D3400, like in my country, 200€ cheaper - THEN GO FOR IT!
There's no significant change between the two, unless you really want the new shape/layout of the buttons.
I won't judge you for any pick though, both will be great lenses to get you started on photography.
If you're really set on the D3500 then I'd like to suggest you to keep holding off as long as you can - Maybe until January, to see if any sales might come up :)
Good luck!
Be interesting to see an image using Nikon 'Vivid mode". I wonder if that would have brought out the color in the sunset?
The vivid setting can help emphasise certain colours - worth playing with.
Thank you for answering my questions you are a great help to me to start photography
You are welcome - thanks for supporting my channel 👍
Just bought one earlier today, new to the whole scene of cameras but seems like I did my research. Great video and you earned yourself a sub!
Thanks for the sub - and enjoy your new camera 😀
well done mate- this review helped me make a decision to buy
Glad to help 👍😀
I tried so many cameras and for some reason this one gives me the best pictures; go figure and its so light and ergonomic, lighter then some of the rangefinder cameras but easier to hold due to great ergonomics; go figure
It's a great camera - thanks for watching.
I bought the D3500 camera today and this video is very helpful thank you
Also I'm new to photography and I have a question , is the ultraviolet filter necessary to place on the lense or is the lense good without it ?
A UV filter is not necessary, but I do think they are a great way of protecting your lens from getting damaged.
Thank you
I’ve watched a couple of your videos! You my friend got a new subscriber. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching, subscribing and supporting my channel.
How do you adjust the D3500 to take blurred background?
For blurry backgrounds watch this : ua-cam.com/video/zGzOpHpukrY/v-deo.html
Good comprehensive review. Love your channel. Would like to see a review of Nikon D5600. Thanks.
Great Video! I love how you smile after completing every part of the subject :) - If I have to choose between D5300 vs D3500, which is the one to go for?
These cameras are almost identical in terms of features. The D3500 has a newer sensor, but the D5300 has an articulated LCD screen (can be handy) and the option to plug in an external mic if you wish to record video.
Thanks for watching.
@@photogenius does newer sensor mean better photos?
K
Man your speaking is fluent thanks for the good quality sum-up! Thanks.
Thank you for watching 👍
Nice review! i did enjoy it, good work!
Thank you very much. Please consider subscribing, lots more content coming.
Right now the D3500 and D5300 are being offered with similar pricing. Which would you recommend? To go with the new D3500 or move up a model and go with the D5300? Thank you for the content and insight!
If you can still get the D3400 I would grab it. The D3500 is replacement, not an upgrade.
Both cameras are great, but the D3400 does have the Fn button and remote options that I talk about in the video.
@@photogenius I think you need to re-read the question. K. Yeg was asking about buying D3500 vs D5300.
@@photogenius Thank you for the reply but as @Egdar Halcyon pointed out I was inquiring between the D3500 and the D5300. Thank you again!
Sorry to have misread your question. I would go for the D5300, whilst mostly these cameras are very similar, the D5300 does offer the following advantages : 39 focus points compared to 11 on the D3500, you can use the Nikon remote (a big 👍), the LCD screen is articulated (very useful) plus if you are considering using the camera for video then the D5300 offers stereo (rather than mono) audio recording plus the option to connect an external microphone.
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Paul @ Photo Genius 😀
@@photogenius Thanks very much, Paul! I really appreciate your help. Keep up the great work!
This is my first camera, sounds good, THANKS for the video Sir..
Tomorrow I got that camera, cant wait! As a beginner, I think its a good choice. Thank you Sir, great review, subbed!
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
thank you for such a thorough video! very helpful
!!!
this was such a comprehensive and informative review all at the same time being entertaining. thanks
its my first dslr and I am very happy with it.
It's a great camera - hope you continue to enjoy your photography and take amazing photos.
Thanks for watching.
Have you tried using Nikon's ViewNXi and Capture NX-D softwares for editing the images? I'm curious to know if these apps have a competitive edge over Adobe LR & PS.
I do not use these apps personally, would be interested to hear from anyone using them to edit images from the D3500.
Well I hope you could have included video too as that is a major problem as far I have got to know. Provide your expertise with how to take care of auto focus hunting and the ability to use external mic.
Video tips for the D3500 : ua-cam.com/video/hHzR7atEYzM/v-deo.html
No external mic option with the D3500 I'm afraid.
Awesome review!! Loved your daughter at the end! :'D
Thanks 😀
Great video! This is why I bought this camera for my daughter
I bet she was over moon with the gift.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this review! I have been waiting for it since you mentioned the D3500. Is the picture in the evening also made with the KIT lens?
Hope to see some nice portrait photos (on instagram) from you with this camera.
Greetings from Holland!
Yes, all the images were taken using the kit lens, make sure you check the gallery which I will be updating with more images taken with the D3500 over the coming weeks.

Great review thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Soon as I saw the Brisbane Bridge I luv this guy
Thank you 😀
Which on is better, D3500 or D3400? and what's the difference?
And what's your opinion about Canon 2000D?
I actually orderd the D3500 yesterday since i am interested in photography and this is gonna be my first camera and i am so glad that this showed up in my recomended, it helps me a lot and gave me a lot of info.
Great to hear - you will love the camera. Tonight I'm uploading another video on the D3500 so watch out for it - better still subscribe (if you haven't done so already) 😀
@@photogenius hi, i watched all the video, but what do you recommend ? you said the lens is not good... this camera always comes with this lens?
The Extreme Pro card doesn't slow down that much unless shooting RAW + JPEG [which i have not tested but still]
just got mine today! I'm super excited! Great video by the way!
Have fun with your new camera - and thank you for watching and supporting my channel.
Perfectly explained. Thanks a lot
You’re welcome, thank you for watching.
If I bought this camera, would I be able to attach other different lenses from Nikon ? Thanks
Yep, there's even a kit which includes 2 lens, 18-55mm and 70-300mm.
Yes - any of the Nikon lenses will fit the D3500. However with some lenses the Auto focus may not work so it's always worth asking before purchasing.
I have been debating between a dslr or a bridge one. I think I just made up my mind. Happy Early Birthday to me 😃
Kid asking for the money, a good touch to your video, well done.
Thank you 😀
Great Job--I'm a newbie--just purchased it.
It's a great camera Darlene, hope you hav fun with it and get some great shots.
You mention light room a lil bit, is that an app or software and if so can it be used in video edits?
Lightroom is my favourite software for editing images - you can get it from Adobe (try the free trial first) for desktop / laptop and a mobile app is also available.
For editing videos try Premiere Pro (also Adobe).
Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much! Great review. 😄
Thank you so much for watching.
I was going to buy d3500, thanks for the tutorial
You are very welcome - thanks for watching and I hope you have fun with your new camera.
Hi Paul, another very good review. I've had a D3500 for nearly 5 years now ( with a fast SD card, same as you ). It is my first DSLR and well worth the investment. I've since supplemented the kit lens beyond the 18-55 VR ( AFP ) with 10-20 VR ( AFP ), 35 DX Prime ( AFS ), 50FX Prime ( AFS ) and 70-300 VR FX( AFP ).
That’s a great kit you have there Steve 🙂
7:55 if you use a lower shutterspeed, does it still have a buffer then?
Buffer should not be a problem when you are shooting longer exposure.
Can we connect bluthooth microphone for audio during video capture this???
Thanks, did you review the Nikon D5300?
Sorry, have not reviews the D3500.
What are your thoughts on buying this as a kit that comes with the 18-55mm lens,70-300mm lens and an extra battery? It’s $130 more than the kit with just the 18-55mm. The 70-300 isn’t the VR lens though.
Sounds like a reasonable deal to me - VR would be nice though 😀
@@photogenius I ordered the kit this morning 😀 If I don't like the 70-300 non VR I may sell it and pick up a VR Lens. Excited to get my first DSLR!
Photo Genius I got the kit the next day but hadn’t opened it up until today. I’m a bit disappointed. I opened it up and realized the 18-55 is the non VR version. All the kits that had the just the 18-55mm had the VR version so I was under the impression this was the same they just added the 70-300 non VR and extra battery. It’s definitely my mistake for not noticing it but I may return it and just buy the regular kit and then buy the 70-300 lens separately. I’m going to snap some shots and see how they turn out without VR first but I am pretty disappointed that I didn’t notice that.
Kneekon?
😀
Hi Paul, just wanted to know whether I can take photos of the milky way or the stars in the night sky using the Nikon D3500. Can you please tell? This video of yours is just awesome with a lot of explanation along with photos. It was very helpful, thank you.
How good is it when taking a pic of the Moon
It's great, but you need a 200mm lens minimum.
Thanks for watching.
Hi. Fantastic video. I’m going on holiday soon and want a good camera. Would you recommend this or something like a lumix L-15 compact? I was thinking a bigger camera like this would be better and it’s £100 cheaper. Thanks in advance if you reply ☺️
You would definetly get better images with the D3500.
Hope that helps Yusef.
That was an amazing review🙌!
Thank you very much 😀
Can it take bokeh photos on auto ?
Sure - but would encourage you to try shooting out of Auto and learn more about your camera functions. The Bokeh effect (aka blurry backgrounds) is what happens when you shoot with a shallow depth of field, what this video for tips : ua-cam.com/video/zGzOpHpukrY/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Sir!
Thank you for watching Jose 👍
Would this be a good option for a beginner wanting some better than iPhone landscape photos while traveling ?
Absolutely, the Nikon D3500 is a great camera.
Hello.. can I change iso quickly in Nikon d3500?
No short cut for this on the D3500. Easiest way is to press ’i’ button, then select ISO from the pop up menu.
Thank you I really enjoyed this in-depth review I took a lot away from this video, thanks!!
Fantastic! You are very welcome, thanks for watching and please consider subscribing so you don't miss future videos.
Photo Genius don’t worry subscribed long ago :D
The different way people say Nikon makes me mad, I’m not sure who is saying it right
I'm not sure it matters who's right. But Nikon is a Japanese company and pronounce it the same way that I do, as does most of Europe (where I'm from).
From malaysia.. I love all your video.. But i couldn't afford any dslr camera.. The only camera i own is an old small canon digital camera in 2008 that i still polish it until now whether i know any cheap mobile phone camera is better than that old digital camera now.
My friend borrowed me his nikon dslr dont remember what model to shoot video for his new restorant and edit the video using his laptop and pay me about 100 dolars. It was really awesome to hold that camera.. But still so far to buy any cheap basic dslr here..
Wow. Glad I have the D3400.
Why? I'm buying my wife one of the two.
Both are fine cameras. The 3500 did away with two features of the 3400. The video will show which features are gone on the 3500. Cheers!
Ahhh. Okay. Thank you.
Those 2 features do not make any difference in the performance, and I got my d3500 cheaper than the d3400 :)
Great video. Can you try out the snapseed function. I think im using it wrong. The screen goes blank on both my camera and phone.
I will be doing a video on this subject very soon.
Great tutorials, I was looking for a guidance before buying my first DSLR camera. This video has cleared most of my doubts about the camera and few technical terms. Do you have a video which could help to learn photography techniques in detail for beginners like me?
I have made a number of videos that I'm sure will help you - please check the channel home page for more info : ua-cam.com/users/photogeniusau
