In my mind, the Nikon D3500 sits firmly within the pantheon of legendary cameras because it arguably introduced more people to the world of digital photography than any other camera (Canon EOS Rebel T7 (EOS 2000D) aside). But far from being one of the best cameras for beginners, it’s also an extremely versatile little camera that’s perhaps capable of far more than you might think.
To prove just how capable this little camera really is, I took it to a local race circuit to photograph a superbike race and captured the image (above) with the Nikon AF-S DX 55-200mm f/4-5.6G. I do the occasional motorsport photography talk, and this image sits within my presentation as an example of how you should never let gear (or lack of it) stand in the way of your photography.
