Chronology
Predecessor Nikon D5500

Contents

D5600 offers only small changes over the predecessor, among them is Bluetooth connection. With SnapBridge application on smart device, the camera can be remote controlled. SnapBridge also allows automated updating of camera's clock and GPS.

In January 2021, Nikon announced that the D5600 and D3500 would no longer be sold in Japan, but that sales elsewhere would continue "for the time being". [2] In June 2022, it was confirmed that production of both models had ceased. [3] Nikon did not release a direct successor to the D5600. [4]

Features

With the camera's initial firmware version Wi-Fi only works with Nikon's proprietary "SnapBridge" app, this also applies to other Nikon models. Since a firmware updated in May 2019 Wi-Fi was opened to third party applications. [8]

The NikonD50 is a 6.1-megapixel entry-level digital single-lens reflex camera, sold from June 2005 until November 2006 by Nikon. It was Nikon's first DSLR aimed at the consumer market, and sold for US$899. It uses the Nikon F mount. The D50 is similar to the slightly older D70 using the same CCD sensor, with a slower maximum shutter speed and slightly smaller size; however, it continued to offer the internal focus motor of prior autofocus film and digital SLRs. Future entry-level Nikon DSLRs would eliminate the internal focus motor and require these motors to be in the lenses. Lack of a focus-motor in the camera eliminated the ability to autofocus with late film-era Nikkor AF and AF-D lenses, though these lenses work well on the D50.
