CES 2017: Nikon modernizes DSLR's with connected 24.2-megapixel D5600

Las Vegas- Let's face it, it has been a while since new DSLRs were considered cool and exciting. Specially when mirrorless cameras and even smartphones are more connected, compact and create similarly stunning photos. But for many photographers, there's just no substitute for a big sensor and for great glass. Nikon's new 24.2-megapixel D5600 continues the company's focus on optics and performances but brings a bag of tech goodies to the mix.

The 24.2-megapixel D5600 features Nikon SnapBridge, which allows users to transfer images directly from their camera to a smart device through always-on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology or Wi-Fi, automatically.

“The Nikon D5600 is the latest camera in Nikon’s popular D5000 series – a camera line that represents a stepping stone for photographers who want to further explore their creative boundaries,” said Amanda Mohammed, Communications and Nikon Professional Services Manager at Nikon Canada. “Now with Nikon SnapBridge, users can easily upload and share images with their friends and family, showcasing what and who they love. With the introduction of Nikon’s D5600, Nikon demonstrates our commitment to providing an attainable and highly capable camera option for photographers of all skill levels.”

The Nikon D5600 will be available at Authorized Nikon Canada Dealers in January 2017 for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP)* of $1,049.95 with the AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR.

Additionally, the Nikon D5600 will be sold as a body only for an MSRP of $919.95*.
