Upgraded from the D-3200 to the D-5500 and what a great camera! The transition from the 3200 to the 5500 was VERY easy. The tilt feature of the rear screen is the best. Also the lighter /slimmer body style is great for heavier lens (55-300mm in the bundle).

None really

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

The Nikon D5500 is a great option for the family photographer or someone who is looking to get their first DSLR camera. The camera's 24.2 megapixel sensor captures high quality photos and its lightweight body makes it easy to tote around on vacations or at a party.

Great image quality for photos and videos; Lightweight; Collapsible lens reduces bulk; Great battery life

Collapsible lens opens a bit slowly

Who it's for? Photographers stepping up from a point-and-shoot, bridge or entry-level DSLR camera as well as enthusiasts looking for a highly capable DSLR without the price tag of pro-level models.

Excellent image quality for its class; Easy-to-use Wi-Fi; Responsive autofocus; Touch-to-focus and shoot LCD; Light; compact design

Slow live-view autofocus; Lacks built-in GPS of the predecessor D5300; Limited Wi-Fi app functions; Built-in mic picks up stray sounds

Nikon D5500 is a compact and lightweight DSLR camera that clicks great quality images and comes packed with features a photography enthusiast would ever need. It lacks aperture control but overall it's a great bet with decent battery backup.

Excellent image quality; compact and light; 3.2-inch fully articulating LCD screen; advanced Auto ISO controls; decent battery life

No aperture control or Auto ISO in movie mode; basic smartphone app

Low light performance is amazing. Autofocus works well, so does bracketing and WiFi connectivity. Highly recommended.

When we reviewed the Nikon D5300 14 months ago it was a case of close but no cigar. There's no shortage of superb SLRs and compact system cameras (CSCs) around the £650 price mark, and the D5300 didn't do enough to stand out. Note: Review, specs and priced based on 18-55mm VR II kit.

I wanted a more pro version camera without going into a full body design. This is definitely the camera, packed with so many features and the body is so compact and light it just grips into my hand perfectly. It's my 3rd SLR over allot of years and it's by far my best investment yet.

Does what it's suppose to do. Keeps the charge and is fast to re-charge. I have a few of these for my cameras. Allows me to go shutter crazy!

This is my review after using this for 4 months 1) The first thing that impressed me was the overall design, the camera feels very light and durable. this is when I compare it to the Nikon D3200, I know I should not compare D3200 to this, but after using different cameras at the same price range...
