Review: An amazingly light-weight, touch-screen, 24MP camera, capable of very professional results with proper technique - A superb camera. While I could go on and on about how good the new 24MP imager is; how light but strong the body is; how fast the camera handles big files; and the great overall quality of the images if you lens and technique are good -- it's the touch screen that really makes it stand apart. Once you realize virtually everything can be done via iPhone-like gestures on the big rear articulating LCD, it becomes the fastest DSLR camera I've ever used. This camera is also lighter than ANY DSLR I've ever used, and I've used many Nikon's and Canon's. Since it's largely made from a single piece of polycarbonate, it's exceptionally strong too. I've dropped it on the sidewalk, I know. Although it's still 24MP, Nikon says it's a new sensor, not a carry-over from the D5300. That said, 24MP can make mural-sized photos. This camera is more capable than most lens' ability to resolve. The kit lens (18mm-55mm) while decent, cannot do the imager justice. Try the f1.8 35mm DX, or any older Nikkor 50mm "normal" lens on a tripod. You will be amazed at the resolution. I tested the D5500 with a 50 yr-old f4 200mm Nikkor Q lens, and the results were spectacular. While this camera will only auto-focus with DX lenses, you can manually focus with confidence with almost any Nikon lens because a little dot appears in the viewfinder when you have focused accurately. Exposure can be gauged by looking at the LCD screen. Another strong suit with the D5500 is it's low-light capability. It is nothing short of amazing! Nite photography with fast lenses is easy, hand-held! It is so good, taking pictures of the Milky Way on a clear night is relatively easy. Photos taken at ISO's of 12,500 are ridiculously good. Sure, there's some noise, but it isn't too noticeable depending on the circumstances. Astronomers of the world unite, here is your camera! Make no mistake, the D5500 in capable hands, with solid technique and good lenses, can match ANY camera under $3000. Oh, and it weighs almost nothing and has a touch screen, did I mention that? :D
Review: overall great camera with many uses - This is a great beginner camera! for the price i think you get a great image quality and many features that will help you grow as a photographer. I love the functionality of the flip out screen which is larger and more sleek than the canon models. when I was searching for a camera, I was debating between the canon and nikon and ended up with the nikon d5500. in my price range, this camera had so many more options and I love the build. this camera is a great deal as it even comes with built in wifi (which would cost $40+ extra to get on any other camera that lacked this feature). with in camera wifi, you can download the nikon wireless mobile utility app and use your phone as a shutter remote! you can get great quality photos with this camera without breaking the bank. it is a great body and you can invest in good glass to enhance your photos. perhaps the only downside I can think of is that it is a crop sensor, but at the time when I was a beginner and I was looking at cameras I had no idea what that meant. if you're looking for a full frame sensor then skip on this camera, but if you are not sure what those terms mean this camera will get the job done. I do recommend to upgrade your lenses as soon as possible, do not stick with the kit lens forever. personally, I love the 50mm f1.8. don't be afraid to get our of your comfort zone and get our there and start shooting! :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the body only version come with a battery and charger?**
A: Yes, is it!

**Q: Is this a US version with warranty?**
A: Buyer Beware. This is NOT a US Nikon Body. It was supplied with a generic box that does not have the original cameras serial number on it. The serial number on the Camera body started with a 2. Generally most US Nikons start with a 3.  Nikon USA confirmed that I did not have a  US version.  So no warranty and no software updates . No Manual or any paper work included. I immediately returned the Camera and they have only credited me with $283. I paid $555. Amazon is investigating why I received so little of a return.

**Q: Can this be Micro USB charged? I had an old camera which I actually was able to charge through the Micro USB slot with an external battery**
A: I own this camera and the charging cannot be done through the Micro USB. That being said, the battery charger comes with an "in wall" charger and completely cordless. The time to charge is pretty fast and you can get about 800 (probably more) with one charge. That should be a fair amount for every day use. If you are an avid photographer we all know to keep extra batteries on hand while shooting :)

**Q: where the camera is made?**
A: Unless they change recently, both camera and lenses are made in Thailand

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amature going semi-pro because the camera is that good.
*by C***G on July 31, 2016*

Like most people here, this is my first DSLR. But unlike most people, I am starting to get semi-pro usage out of it only after a year of owning it. And it doesn't disappoint. When paired with better glass, the camera really does shine. The light weight body comes in handy when trekking up a mountain or shooting an all day festival and the deep grip is reassuring as you make your way around the world. I can't attest for the auto setting because I am forcing myself to learn by always staying in manual. Kind of a "baptism by fire" approach. Didn't take tack long to get the feel of where all the buttons are located and I really appreciate that it has a programmable back focus button. The touch screen is responsive and the tilt comes in handy when either shooting low down and especially when on a monopod shooting high up. Autofocus is decent and doesn't hunt too much. Photos are usually tack sharp even at 1:1. I'm impressed with how clear photos are when pushing the iso way up for concerts and the DX sensor with 24.2 megapixels allows you to crop way down and still keep crisp shots for wildlife and the like. All and all, I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone who is interested in moving up from a point and shoot without breaking the bank. Provided some shots but here is a Flickr link of more shots all from the d5500. [...]
