Although many turn to their smartphones today to take photos the Nikon DSLRs are still top quality cameras. The D5500 is the first time I have gotten a feature that I have long wanted; the ability to have a wireless connection to a tablet or other WiFi device.

Superb quality as always from nikon, Have taken some excellent shot at the air shows, very comfortable to hold. Shoot in raw mode and edit on computer with nikon software free from nikon website. also 2yr warranty when registered with nikon.

I searched the internet for a good bundle deal for this camera. I knew this was the one I wanted from various ratings. The bundle packages on the internet/Amazon were either not as good or from some shady dealer in New York.

everything i need right out of the box
