Following its decision in early 2021 to "archive" both the D3500 and D5600 in Japan while continuing to sell them elsewhere "for the time being",[5] Nikon announced in June 2022 that production of both models had ceased.[6]
The discontinuation was seen as heralding the end of the "beginner DSLR"[6] and Nikon did not release a direct successor to the D3500.[7]
