The Nikon D3500 drops to its lowest price in this unmissable Black Friday bargain

Our number one DSLR for beginners has just fallen to its lowest ever price in a Black Friday Jessops deal that gives you the Nikon D3500, plus an 18-55mm AF-P VR kit lens for just £299.

That's a particularly good deal because, unlike some other retailers, the £299 Jessops deal includes the 'VR' version of the camera's kit lens. That means it includes vibration reduction, which is Nikon's form of optical stabilisation that helps you preserve image quality when taking handheld shots.

Aside from its even lower price tag, the Nikon D3500 is a fantastic camera for beginners because it has a handy Guide Mode that takes you through the camera's main features and helps you understand the effect they have on your snaps.

Considering that lens costs £199 on its own, you're effectively getting the D3500 for around £100, which is hugely impressive value – and we think that's going to be tough to beat during Black Friday.

There are some impressive mirrorless cameras around these days, so why go for a DSLR like the Nikon D3500? Because it has an optical viewfinder, rather than an electronic equivalent, the D3500 is able to offer a lower price tag and much longer battery life than its mirrorless rivals. It can keep going for 1,550 images between charges, which is around three times as long as a mirrorless camera.

While some may prefer a more compact, travel-friendly form factor, the D3500's size means it also offers very good handling, which is another boon if you're just starting out. 

This Jessops deal also throws in a final couple of sweeteners including a free 1-2-1 training course and a 12x8in canvas worth £19.99, which will be handy for turning your first great D3500 photo into wall art. If you're looking to step up from your smartphone and learn the joys of creative manual shooting, this deal is a fantastic place to start.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS.

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
