Nikon has announced a new entry-level DSLR, the Nikon D5600, a slightly upgraded of the D5500 with improved wireless connectivity and timelapse video.
At the beginning of this year Nikon introduced the first always-connected DSLR in the shape of the Nikon D500, and now we’re starting to see the same technology come to its more affordable cameras.
While paired, the D5600 can back up a continuous stream of images to Nikon’s Image Space photo sharing service while synchronizing timestamp and location data.
Aside from these new functions, the Nikon D5600 sports many identical specs to its predecessor, including a 24.2MP APS-C sensor without an optical low-pass filter, and Expeed 4 Image Processor. So overall we should see very similar image quality – not that we’re complaining.
The Nikon D5500 has proven itself to be a flexible and versatile camera for stills, and particularly video shooting, with 1080p 60fps video output and a 3.2-inch 1,037k-dot vari-angle touchscreen display that users can spin forward.
Initially Nikon is releasing the D5600 in Japan, with pricing and availability for other territories yet to be announced.
