Nikon introduced its D5500 DSLR camera at CES in January, skipping a number in its modest update to the D5300 , which we reviewed in January 2014. Most of the changes affect secondary controls, leaving the main components unchanged.

Published in D-Photo Issue No. 65, we printed that the Nikon D5500 DSLR was 740g in weight (body only). This was an error and should have read 470g (body only). Here's the corrected review for you to see what Nikon's latest DSLR can achieve.

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

The Nikon D5500 Digital SLR is an update to the Nikon D5300 , with a new 3.2 inch tilting LCD touch-screen, and a new, more compact body. The camera features a 24 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, with no OLPF (Optical Low Pass Filter) designed to give the sharpest image quality possible.

No automatic panoramic mode; Remote control app very basic; Slow live view focus speeds; 4-way controller buttons can't be customised; GPS no longer built in - smartphone app doesn't feature GPS tagging either

The Nikon D5500 is a new 24.2 megapixel DX-format DSLR camera with no optical low-pass filter (OLPF). The D5500 can record Full HD movies at 1080 60p/50p/30p/25p/24p with stereo sound and comes equipped with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity.

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 D5500 Review - The Nikon D5500 builds on the success of its D5300 predecessor with the addition of a new touchscreen and tweaked design, amongst several other enhancements.

Absence of optical low pass filter results in higher detail; Good colour rendition; Fast AF performance

Removal of GPS; Lacking in manual control buttons

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

The Nikon D5500 provides best-in-class image quality, solid performance with a great battery life and excellent features that make shooting easy and fruitful. Being that it's the best entry-level DSLR currently available, it's an excellent choice.

This camera has the best low-light performance of any APS-C camera

It's more expensive than other entry-level options
