I am a beginner in DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) photography. Nikons's D5500 camera, with the 18 to 55mm and the 55 to 200mm zoom lenses, for me, is the perfect camera to begin learning the art of creative photography. Please believe me when I say that photography is an art!

Not only is the camera fantastic but I had to contact the seller to ask them a question and I received a very fast and polite response back. The 18-55mm lens that comes with the kit is very capable. To me the DX Vs FX is ridiculous.

I bought a Nikon D5500, Ritz had it on sale for by far the cheapest I'd seen it!! I love it! It got here fast and I've been using it for about a month now!

This is a grey import, beware unless you don't care about lack of warranty. For info, I wrote a looooong review detailing specifics of my purchase and the problems with it (lack of warranty or suitable plug source for U.K.), but it was rejected. I wonder why! Let's see if this review makes it.

This is one of the best Nikon's in my opinion. Digital SLR is not for everyone but if that's your thing then this is the one to buy - it has great reviews around the web.

The measure of a camera is not its cost or features or even the size of its sensor. A camera is measured by the images it helps you capture and the depth, scope, and quality of these images. The Nikon D5500 let me capture some unusual moments. But is it the camera I've been looking for?

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...

The D5500 is Nikon's latest upper entry-level DSLR and like its predecessors, delivers a decent step-up from budget models without the complication, size and expense of mid-range or semi-pro bodies.

Low noise and potentially high resolution; Large; fully-articulated touchscreen; Fairly compact body for a traditional DSLR; Built-in Wifi; but unlike D5300; relies on phone for GPS; 1080p movies at a variety of frame rates

Need to upgrade kit zoom to exploit full resolution; Relatively small viewfinder image size; Basic smartphone app and network open by default; Quiet mode isn't that quiet; Continuous AF in Live View and movies can be noisy

I've been doing photography for years, including darkroom work, and decided to upgrade when I found a Nikon that had what I wanted on it. I've held off for a long time and finally found the price and features I wanted at Sam's. This package has Nikon glass.
