Por necesidades del guión este artículo no tendrá más remedio que ser capicúa. Lo entenderéis enseguida.

Resulta que el californiano Ken Rockwell, llevado por la imparable tendencia que da al video una relevancia total frente a la escritura y la lectura, ahora presenta también sus análisis en un video y se estrena con este de la Nikon D3500.

Si queréis suscribiros a su canal YouTube, ya sabéis a lo que os arriesgáis. Yo ya he avisado.

La pregunta del millón que me hago es: ¿ por qué nos habrá privado de su imagen como experto ponente ?

Con esta trascendental duda rondando nuestra segunda neurona, aquí os dejo con la peliculita.

Y para que no quede la cosa tan breve y tan poco profesional os obsequio con sus clásicos apartados de siempre.

New since the D3400:

• Most rear buttons moved to right side for one-handed operation.
• More battery life: now rated 1,550 shots per charge, up from 1,200 in D3400 (both CIPA, 50% with flash).
• 30g (1 oz.) lighter than D3400.
• Slightly smaller in some dimensions, and grip has been made slightly larger.
• Nikon mentions many new little things like guide menus to help beginners; I never use these so I can’t speak to them.

Good:

• Superb technical and artistic image quality for loads of great pictures.
• Ultra, ultra light. Feels like it weighs less than my kids’ toy cameras, but with pro-level picture quality.
• Built-in flash.
• Live View.
• No shutter delay and no wake-up or other delays. Everything responds instantly and it’s always ready to shoot with zero waiting, much better than any mirrorless camera.
• No need ever to turn the camera off unless you’re putting it in a tight bag where the shutter button might be pressed accidentally. You can leave the power switch on for months with no battery drain and it wakes the instant you tap the shutter button.
• Long battery life, much better than any mirrorless camera.
• Simple menu system makes it easy to find what you need and set it; it’s not bloated like other cameras. It has everything you need and skips all the fluff.
• One basic rear control dial feels great; much more comfortable than on Sony cameras.
• Setting Exposure Compensation automatically lights the rear screen to display your setting, so it can be set at arm’s length.
• Great lens included free.
• Automatic lens distortion and vignette correction.
• Quiet shutter mode (it’s quieter, but not silent).
• All rear buttons (except for the flash pop-up) are on the right side for easy one-handed operation.
• «Recent Items» menu magically puts your most used settings all in one place.
• Bluetooth.
• Flicker reduction (synchronizes the shutter release to shoot during the bright periods of flickering light sources).
• Color histograms, and can display localized histograms for small sections of the image if you zoom-in on playback.
• Fast zoomed-in playback scrolling; it’s easy to zip around a zoomed image to check for sharpness.
• 720 @ 59.94 or 50p and 1,080 @ 23.976, 25, 29.97, 50 or 59.94p HD video.

Bad:

• For this low price, including lens, there’s absolutely nothing bad. This is a great camera at a bargain price that has more resolution than any professional Nikon digital camera ever (D5, D4, D3, etc.).

Missing:

• No programmable preset U1, U2 or U3 scene modes.
• There’s an AUTO setting for the minimum shutter speed in Auto ISO, but no ability to shift this AUTO setting; it’s fixed at about 1/focal length.
• No sensor cleaner.
• No flippy rear screen.
• No automatic brightness control for the rear LCD (very few cameras have this, but they all need it).
• No touch screen.
• No USB charging, use the included compact charger.
• No electronic level.
• No HDR (multi-shot «high dynamic range» mode).
• No Kelvin White Balance settings (use other settings and then use the color trim adjustments in the menus).
• No exposure mode indicator in the finder (look at the rear LCD or the top mode dial to see P, S, A or M).
• No depth-of-field preview (use Live View or playback instead).
• No GPS.
• No as-shot crop modes.
• Mono, not stereo, microphone for video.
• No mic-in jack.
• No high price, no shutter lag, no wake-up or other delays, no problems and even includes a great lens, free!

La otra pregunta del millón, esta bastante más maliciosa, sería algo así: ¿ que tamaño tiene el maletín que ha recibido el bueno de Ken para poner tal cantidad de virtudes ?
