[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 697690, member: 43545"] The main difference is the AF system and screen resolution. Both have a lot of features but the D5600 is a little more hobbyist oriented with the more capable autofocus and touch control screen of higher resolution. For the same price of a D5600 you can find factory refurb D7200 which is a much more flexible camera and has many more lenses options, for example all the screwdriver lenses(autofocus lenses that use a focusing motor in the camera instead of the lens) which means a lot of good quality older lenses are available for it. Image quality for general snapshots is very good for all of them but with more specialty shooting such as portrait or available light shooting the D7200 has a Pentaprism View finder that is brighter then the D5600/3500 Pentamirror viewfinder. Better AF system, ability to focus in lower light. It is also better in very bright light, with a 1/8000 of a second fastest shutter speed compared to 1/4000 For use with flash, the D7200 has a max sync speed of 1/250 compared to 1/200 Larger Viewfinder coverage, 100% with the D7200 compared to 97% and has a great VF magnification factor of .63 compared to .55 Two memory card slots compared to 1 And for anyone using it outdoors the D7200 is much better weather sealed but the D5600 and 3500 have no additional weather sealing(don't use them in the rain or dusty environments With the larger tougher body the D7200 weighs more by 300grams more than the D5600 Being larger by a small amount, the grip and feel is considerably better. The shutter has a longer service life also. So....If you want to expand your use of the camera, possibly getting external flash unit or speed light and start collecting nice used lenses, shoot faster moving subjects or doing serious portrait, sports and architecture a refurb D7200 with factory warranty or even a lower cost with a lot frame count used D7200 that would be a better choice. If on the other hand you are going to limit your shooting to general snapshots and want something with a bit more control than a smartphone, the D3500 is hard to beat for price and weight. Look for used lenses, they do not wear out like bodies and there are many options but seek faster lenses, that have better optical quality and much better light sensitivity such as a used 50mm 1.8 for $150 will greatly outperform the slow zooms like the 18-55. The zoom is pretty sharp as kit lenses go but they are not very good in low light or for controlling subject isolation. [/QUOTE]
