The Nikon D5600 is a 24.2 megapixel upper-entry level, APS-C sensor DSLR announced by Nikon on November 10, 2016,[1] as the successor of the D5500. The camera has an F-mount.
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]
