👍 What’s good about it

• It packs a high resolution sensor for an entry-level DSLR (24MP) which gives good detail and flexibility for cropping.

• The performance (5 fps, decent ISO range) is better than many older “beginner” DSLRs.

• Lightweight body for a DSLR — good for carrying around.

• A large ecosystem of Nikon F-mount lenses means you have room to grow.

• It’s a solid option for someone moving beyond compact cameras or phones but not yet needing (or affording) a pro body.
