  • Buildquality, Adjustable touchscreen, Reduced size and weight, Picture quality, Excellent battery life, Improved Live View responsiveness, WiFi
  • Default JPG image too dense, Menus as convoluted as ever, AF slightly slower than on the D5300, AF noisy when filming, No headphone output
  • With the D5500, Nikon has once again produced an effective and responsive consumer-oriented SLR that takes a good photo. The addition of a touchscreen is a real plus, and it works brilliantly. The interface, though, is still too convoluted and much more d...

  • Vari, angle touchscreen, Proven sensor, Small size and low weight
  • The optical viewfinder in a DSLR doesn't show the effect of camera adjustments, GPS unit gone
  • Build and handling Like the D5300, the D5500 has a monocoque construction, which means its shell is made from a single piece of material. However, at 124x97x70mm and 420g (body only) the new camera is lighter and slimmer than the D5300 which measures 125x...

  • Excellent updated handling, Solid performance, great images, Fast AF
  • No GPS, Conservative upgrades
  • The Nikon D5500 is a very conservative tweak of the popular D5300. It doesn't mess with the image quality or performance, instead deciding to make the camera a mite more accessible. We'll have to see whether the touchscreen's actually worth using when we...

  • Abstract:  It's a curious time in the world of cameras right now, with boundaries ever-blurring, but new technologies incremental rather than revolutionary. The arrival of the Nikon D5500, which is the company's first ever touchscreen DSLR, looks to fend off the com...

  • Abstract:  This 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. And it doesn't quite have the image quality or performance level...

  • The Nikon D5500 is a DSLR camera that's very easy to fall in love with, as it has quite a few average and above average features versus other models in its price range. It's extremely easy to use too. Any Nikon D5500 issues are minimal, as the manufacture...

  • Abstract:  Let's have some fun! We've rounded up a bunch of budget cameras that are stylish, easy to use and very reasonably priced. There's a mix of digital SLRs and CSCs (compact system cameras), each of which weigh in at under £600/$800, complete with a kit zoom...

  Published: 2015-11-17, Author: Carey , review by: dpreview.com

  • Abstract:  In late 2015, many (if not most) consumers are likely to shop based on price and capability, rather than according to whether a certain model contains a mirror, or not. We think this is a good thing; with all the increased competition, cameras are improvi...
