After struggling with an iphone ive finally found out why people love a dslr so much - happy happy thanks Cameras Direct

The Nikon D5500 is an excellent entry-level and enthusiast-on-a-budget DSLR. The camera is not overly intimidating for new users and offers plenty of features to move you along as you learn. The experienced enthusiast will benefit from the impressive feature set while not breaking the bank.

Nikon has been introducing DSLRs at a fairly steady pace, releasing the D810, then the D750 and now the D5500. The D5500 is the mid-range model in the lineup and is different from the lot, simply because the camera comes with a fully articulating touchscreen, which also necessitates having a button...

Amazingly small; very well designed grip; touchscreen features are welcome; feature-packed

Viewfinder image could be larger; battery life is good but not great

My Nikon D5500 DSLR review shows a camera that fits in the middle of the DSLR camera market. It has a nearly four figure price tag, so it's above the price point of most entry level DSLRs.

Nikon makes small improvements to their excellent mid-range DSLR with the D5500.

If you're looking for an entry-level D-SLR, then the D5500 should definitely be on your shortlist. It's got all the features you'd expect from a camera in this category, as well as a few pleasant surprises.

Nikon's new D5500 dSLR camera is a mid-range model available now for purchase. This 24-Megapixel DX Format (APS-C) camera features a 39-point AF system, 3.2-inch Vari-Angle Touch LCD screen, Built-in WiFi, Full 1080p HD Video capture and an automatic scene selection mode; giving you the maximum...

Auto and Program modes are accurate and provide outstanding image quality; Dedicated Video Capture Button is always ready to record; Nikon F mount allows you to use the huge selection of lenses; Excellent overall image quality at all ISO levels; 921k dot LCD provides great color and a ton of detail,...

Only one command dial slows down your adjustments when shooting manually; but keeps the body simple; Priced slightly higher than most entry-level dSLRs; but worth the extra cost

In recent times, we noticed that Nikon has fallen in to a trend of releasing a new version of their DSLR camera almost once every year. But instead of giving the new models a complete design/feature overhaul, these "new" models are mostly a reincarnation of the old ones plus the addition a few new...

Compact and lightweight body; Decent build quality for an entry-level camera; Improved camera grip; Articulating display; Display offers good outdoor legibility and is responsive to touch inputs; Relatively fast autofocus; Addition of new 3D Subject Tracking feature; Good image quality and noise...

Lacked GPS module; Autofocus is quite noisy when shooting video; Mirror slaps during shooting a picture is quite loud

Very good camera, best value for money

This is my first Nikon DSLR and I am very happy with it. Picture quality is excellent and the controls easy to use. The menu is easy to navigate. Touch screen is fun to use as well. The camera is reasonable light to carry during day trips and easy to handle.

Easy to use; Build quality; Battery life
