  • Swiveling touchscreen, Great image quality, Longer battery life, Built-in Wi-Fi
  • Slow tap-to-shoot, GPS got axed, No water resistance or weather sealing, Average video recording
  • The inclusion of a touchscreen in the Nikon D5500 is nice, but the camera remains mostly the same as the D5300 first released in 2013...

  • Nikon's mid-range DSLR camera continues to evolve with the introduction of the D5500, which is smaller and significantly lighter than its predecessor whilst additionally offering a new touchscreen LCD/interface. It also sensibly ships with the retractabl...

  • Abstract:  The Nikon D5500 marks the first product from Nikon that includes touch operation. Our editors are looking to get their hands on this and test it at CES. The touch-operation makes the D5500 more intuitive, with pinch to zoom and shutter activation. The Var...

  • Low image noise, Very good sharpness, Great dynamicrange, Accurate AF system, Short shutterlag, Excellent timetofirstshot, Full HD video with autofocus, Quite usable with gloves on, Good batterylife, Nikon D5300, Nikon D5300 No EyeStart sensor, GPS, Nikon
  • Some overexposure, Below average AWB, AF on the slow side, Odd LiveView preview, Odd Auto ISO behavior, Selftimer resets after each use, No mechanical AF coupling
  • The D5500 refines the existing Nikon entry-level DSLR design with several notable improvements while keeping a very consistent feature-set.While external changes are easy to spot, the worthy upgrade is its revised 24 MP APS-C CMOS sensor which manages to ...

  • Amazingly small for a DSLR; Great image quality for its class, including superb low light and high ISO performance; Generous JPEG buffer depth; High resolution,
  • Buffer depths are shallow when shooting RAW; Lacks GPS from the predecessor; No AA filter means it's susceptible to aliasing artifacts,

  • The image processing is notable for its wide dynamic range. A couple of hundred test photos taken in harsh afternoon light show fine shadow/highlight detail preservation. (See samples here) All the essentials – exposure, focus, colour and tone are handled
  • Socalled “live view” continues to be a pain in the posterior. It is clunky to access, sludgy in operation and disables the eyelevel viewfinder. It still feels like interim technology needing further development
  • The challenge that Nikon and Canon face with their entry level DSLRs is that for the same price or less there are superb compact system cameras. The Sony a6000 uses a similar sensor to the Nikon in a smaller body with a more modern control set and it is $...
