The editors liked
Variangle touchscreen
Proven sensor
Small size and low weight
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
The Nikon D5500 delivers excellent photo quality as well as a performance that can keep up with your kids and pets
The editors didn't like
The optical viewfinder in a DSLR doesn't show the effect of camera adjustments
GPS unit gone
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 redesigned grip may not be comfortable for people with large hands

The redesigned grip may not be comfortable for people with large hands, and Nikon really needs to update its Wi-Fi app

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 $...
The D5500 is a competent camera that can meet most of the needs of its target market. Upgrading to the D5500 could be justified for buyers who skip a couple of generations, as well as owners of two or three year old D3*** models.The main benefit of the D5...

There may be some who are disappointed that the D5500 doesn't make any huge leaps in pixel count, but 24 million pixels is more than enough for most uses. The files (usually) have plenty of detail, noise can be controlled well and the memory card or comp...
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...

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...
