The Nikon D5500 kit 18-55 is a highly regarded DSLR camera, praised for its 24MP sensor that delivers excellent image detail, especially at low ISOs.

The camera is lightweight, making it easy to handle, and the carbon fiber-reinforced plastic body adds to its durability. The autofocus is generally quick and reliable, though it can be slower in live view mode, making it challenging to capture fast-moving subjects like children or animals. The camera's Wi-Fi capability is a standout feature, enhancing its user-friendliness. Overall, the Nikon D5500 is considered a great choice for both semi-professional and advanced amateur photographers, offering a balance of performance and portability.
Pros

Cons

great model, I really liked it
17 May 2016 
female camera. I love it. This shop sold it for a good price. delivered on time and without problems.
Fits perfectly in my hand and it's light (I am a girl). I can't lug around a brick and see no point in it. It's lightweight and small.
The touchscreen is reeeeeally convenient. The screen image is of very high quality. Pleases the eye.
Wi-Fi is the best thing in the world for any device - that's what I think about this option. But it's probably purely a girl's camera. But as a girl, I see no downside in that.
All one big plus.
But none of this is important in this case - the main thing is that I bought this camera on this site cheaper than anywhere else.

good model, I liked it.
31 January 2016 
A tragedy happened. While on vacation in Egypt, I drowned my old loyal Nikon D3000. According to careful estimates, the deceased took about 11,000 shots... and what shots they were! ... Amen ((( The question of a successor had to be resolved decisively and quickly, before the money left from pre-New Year’s hard earnings was spent. I stayed loyal to the brand, but decided to move to the next league – the five-thousand series. I bought a D5500 body, along with an 18-105mm lens. The replacement for the D3000 turned out to be more than worthy. The D5500 is two heads above it. A good semi-professional or advanced amateur DSLR camera.
24MP sensor and these aren't just a bunch of made-up marketing pixels, these are real pixels. The sensor, of course, isn't full-frame, but the image detail at low ISOs is excellent. There's little noise up to 1600 inclusive, but above that, luminance noise becomes noticeable, and from 6400, slight color noise appears. The autofocus is persistent, meticulous, and quick despite all this. However, when using the display for framing, it's not as impressive.
The rotating touchscreen display pleased with its quality image, good viewing angles, and convenient touch features. The touch functionality is especially valuable in LiveView mode. The body is convenient, made of high-quality plastic reinforced with carbon fiber. The controls are familiar and cause no issues. The weight of 900g for the body+zoom set feels like nothing. But in the hands, you certainly notice it.
The battery turned out to be quite durable. Knock on wood to not jinx it )))
Noticeably slower autofocus when shooting in live view mode. It is simply impossible to shoot actively playing children or animals in this mode, only through the viewfinder or manual focus.

Video reviews

The Nikon D5500 camera was released at the very beginning of 2015. It became a systematic successor to the five thousandth series of Nikon DSLRs, inheriting all the best from its predecessor in the face of the Nikon D5300 (except for the GPS module).

Monocoque body

In terms of weight, the camera is very close to the lightest DSLR — Canon EOS 100D. The carbon fibre monocoque body of the Nikon D5500 will lift the scale needle to just 420g, so after a day of walking, your neck will definitely thank you for the minimum level of stress. In the hand, the camera also holds like a glove, which is facilitated by a convenient battery grip.

High detail

The camera is designed without a smoothing AA filter, which allows you to get more detailed images. The EXPEED 4 processor is responsible for the overall picture quality, providing good results in low light conditions (at high ISO values up to 6400 units), as well as fast merging of HDR images (with a wide dynamic range). For beginners and adherents of automatic shooting parameters, the manufacturer has made as many as 23 scene programs for all occasions. Access to them opens directly through the menu, because. modes are not placed on the selector disk.

Tenacious autofocus

The autofocus system with 39 points (with 9 cross points in the centre) deserves special praise. Both in the photo and in the video, she shows herself in the best way, reliably and quickly clinging to the subject of shooting. But not without a “fly in the ointment”: when recording videos and taking pictures in LiveView mode, a typical drawback of Nikon cameras appears — the inability to change the aperture when looking at the screen.

Best start

The owners of the Nikon D5300 camera should hardly upgrade to the D5500, because the main differences of the older model lie only in a slightly lighter body and a touch screen designed to simplify the focus process and quickly change shooting parameters. But for a start in the world of photography, the camera is the best, providing its owner with high quality footage and long battery life (800-850 shots per battery charge).
