"Hi, there. I have just purchased a Nikon D3500 last month, which is a super-compact mirrorless camera according to Nikon. I've been using it to film a lot over the last 2 weeks and now I want to import D3500 footage to iMovie to do some basic editing, but it seems that iMovie can not open the D3500 Full HD footage at all. Why? Can anyone help me out please? MacBook Pro. Thor Maillet"

Given the trend towards 4K video in the last year or so, especially in rival mirrorless cameras, it's a little disappointing to see only Full HD capture on the D3500. 12.9-ounce (365-gram) camera body weight, Native ISO range of 100-25,600; 5 frames per second continuous shooting, Easy to use, etc. As an amateur photographer, this camera is a good choice.
