Pros: Lightweight machine, excellent quality, adjustable screen for every need

Cons: Comparing with other machines, maybe "too" light, for the rest nothing to say!

Opinion: This machine was my first reflex, and I have to say that I immediately found a feeling that made me fall in love with this toy. I call it "toy" because I like that the camera has a certain consistency in hand and we say also a certain "weight", which this machine is struggling to make, being really lightweight and, as I can confirm, is often unbalanced Compared to the weight of the lens! But this does not create problems with the feeling that is really excellent, with a handle that makes you really feel you have control of the situation. A car that I would recommend to anyone, I brought it everywhere and never betrayed me. By removing the zooms that I used only in the first period, then moving to fixed lenses, the D5500 has always given me beautiful results and a great reliability in every situation! Soon I'll switch to FF, but I do not think I'll ever sell this camera body because the lightness and comfort that gives you, without sacrificing results, is indispensable!

Pros: Excellent image quality, lightness

Cons: AF awkward video, no GPS

Opinion: I use it for two years now with a Nikkor 18-200 VRII and Lexar 64GB SD from 150MB/S. Not hindering the machine is of entry level range gives very very good shots. It is clear that it can not be compared to a professional at the level of sensor, AF and functions, but the little one is doing very well. What I don't understand, but I think they did it only at the marketing level, is because Nikon didn't provide it with GPS as in Sister D5300... Really a shame! (Personal consideration: If I went back I would buy the D7200 for various reasons at the level of functions, ergonomics and handles. But also because the controls are set much more similarly as in the professional.) By pulling the sums the D5500 has all the cards to be the first machine for that person who wants more performance and quality of the sisters D3300/3400.

Pros: Handling, lightness .... Excellent for travel !!!! Equipped with wifi connectivity for smartphone and swiveling display

Cons: Too much weight can be difficult to counteract with heavy lenses

Opinion: A great car, I have it for 11 months and has been my traveling companion on many adventures !! The light weight is an extremely positive factor, because even after many hours do not feel the encumbrance !!! High quality images to be an entry level and is equipped with modern systems such as wifi, very useful to import images directly to your smartphone or to take self-portraits !!

Pros: Great value for money performance. What has improved compared to D5300... It seems a little more reactive in Live view.. The Touch is very comfortable. I No longer have the problem of compatibility with some SD that were stuck in the D5300

Cons: Noisy.. CikClak a little too present even in the "silent" questionable Ergonomics of some keys. 03.2019 With Very long exposures (30 ') with a feeling of thrust tends to "overheat" a small film in the lower part of the image.

Opinion: What about.. Seen my budget.. Great car, to have little more, in terms of sensor quality, I should spend a lot more. The bulk of the difference is made with the optics. Autofocus and yield go to Brachetto. I took the Sigma 17-50 2.8, the autofocus is much more effective than the very comfortable Tamrex Thing I want more.. By Exploiting the multitouch better you could have a super second bezel. It wouldn't have been wicked to have 4k video or a FULL HD a little faster... Electronic Shutter? 03.2019 I Add two notes. It's been a couple of years, but I can't find a pretty good alternative. The M43 have grown, but no sensor is approaching this while costing much more. I thought about the M43 because of the new 12-200. But That does not reach the 24-450 equivalent of my tamrex. The Bridges are interesting but the sensor remains too little for my liking. I see in the reviews of the ML and the critical Bridge on battery life. If photographers, less compulsive than myself, complain about battery life, it must be serious. From This very compact machine, it could become a great mirrorless

Pros: Light, fast, reliable even at high ISO, ergonomics

Cons: Use the display as a second ring is a bit 'complicated

Opinion: I've had it a few weeks and I could test it with the kit (18-55) with adapter ring and old Canon lenses (a bit 'at room temperature soft, especially the 50mm) with a 35mm f / 1.8 in the evening at a party without flash. I would say that one can not expect more for the needs I have. The battery, which is quite powerful after the second charging. For the rest, I would say that I just have to wait for the 50mm f / 1.8 and at that point I do not think I will replace longer even a goal. The only flaw, however well compensated by 2 frets are well positioned function, the use of the screen as a second ring, it is impractical and sometimes the nose changed settings ... but you just turn it off and you're done.

Pros: Clarity, ease of use, fabulous touch screen, surprising in the results obtained, and very intuitive menu settings and enhanced by the touch of practicality.

Cons: Severe lack of GPS that is present in D5300, af slow in live view, high price.

Opinion: Coupled to 18-140 never ceases to surprise with the results it gives, for the convenience it offers in all shooting occasions, even the most unusual, thanks to the ease of use enhanced by touch screen that offers a very good visibility in broad daylight, just adjust the brightness and functions assignable to the same touch they do not regret the lack of a second ring. Maf in live view very slow and cumbersome, especially in the video, but this is common to almost all cameras. I consider very seriously the Nikon trade policy at that price has amply repaid by the client the touch screen display which is more than the D5300 from which, however, has taken away much justification for us buyers, GPS. I would rather have a camera with a few grams more than the lack of GPS and I bought anyway because I consider it among the entry level to the top.

Pros: Lightness and ease of use. Very sharp image with the firmware upgrade! With a 18-140 zoom lens it is astonishing. With 35 mm. F1.8 fabulous!

Cons: It does not have the upper display.

Opinion: The compactness may be a sign of inferiority, but for those who does not use it in a professional manner, and prefer the convenience ...... is good. The large display performs well all the functions even though I would have preferred the small display above. However you do not find anything better at this price. I recommend you do the firmware update via the Nikon website. And then if he won the EISA Award ....... There's a reason !!!!

Pros: Very light, with 35mm is a true featherweight, compact, very bright display and articulated very convenient, simple commands you hold in very well, noise at high ISO

Cons: Price, not Tropicalised (for me is not a problem) rn

Opinion: Purchased for more than two months to replace the d3100 and as I am a novice of photography I can definitely say that there is a difference, you see and hear. Small and very light, the sharpness in the details is greater, the swiveling display and touch is fantastic and very convenient, autofocus 39 points, you can get to iso much higher than the d3100, wifi very comfortable with the app for smartphone, the great burst shooting (disappointing on d3100). In short, in my humble opinion it is a very good car the only real flaw is the fairly high price.

Pros: Small and lightweight. The screen is very good and the touch-focus is often convenient.

Cons: Sharpness. Commands. Price

Opinion: I state that I have tested recently, but I have to say I expected much more. I tried it with good optics that use the D810 and I do not know why the sharpness does not satisfy me at all. The autofocus often wrong. In the videos it is enough but no more. What I was not satisfied at all the commands are too unwieldy. I really like the display and the ability to focus by touching it, which is very useful in video. But they are of sufficient quality only for lack of incisiveness. Let's say I would have expected better given the cost. It looks like a toy in his hand and with 24-120 overturns forward. For me the value of this body should not exceed 400 euro.

Pros: Weight, compactness, dynamic range and noise at high ISO to be a aps-c, swiveling screen great for macro.

Cons: Slow shooting in live view, exposure row of exposures only 3 shots.

Opinion: Purchased used with 18-55 3.5-5.6 3.5-5.6 18-300 vr ii + vr, I immediately felt at home. Allows excellent recoveries of the shadows without generating too much noise, more of addiritura canon eos 5dmk iii my friend with whom I could do a conronto. Going with the iso images are usable as they exit the machine up to 3200 ISO, with a little 'of post production you can get to 6400 ISO. You better not go unless you want to use the resized photos on the internet or make smaller prints of 20x30 cm. In this the 5D Mk iii is about up stop. Over 2 Zoom I bought used with the car I took the Tamron 90 macro 2.8 vc and with this clarity is really good. Also convenient swivel-screen viewing experience that allows him to make macros without contortions. Shooting in live view inece is rather slow. The flurry of 5fps is good, but the buffer is rempie immediately jumping to Raw or Raw + JPEG.

Pros: sensor series 7000, iso 25600, touch display, a / is 39 points

Cons: weight too light

Opinion: newly purchased for the sostiture 3200 I used to a few years. the main difference (and the more macroscopic) is the autofocus 39 points. also pledging not you put it never in crisis, which with the previous 9 was not too difficult to make. the sharpness of the details you see, but perhaps not so striking (at least in terms of good light). the battery should also last longer. the swiveling display is a nice convenience, especially in self-timer or angles particularly cumbersome (although use almost exclusively the mirno). the touch is definitely interesting (wineskin to a more appealing graphic) .rnnon find particular fault, except perhaps (and here I'll be a lone voice), the excessive lightness. I would have liked a more massive body and heavy, sorpattutto when I match at 18 to 140 with which I find a little unbalanced.

Pros: Sensor, rotatable display, compact and lightweight

Cons: It not tropicalized (but I do not care .....)

Opinion: Coming from the D5200, which I was happy, I was looking for something better in the remaining segment to use APS-C lenses already in my possession. Nikon course, to continue the tradition that has lasted nearly 40 years. I was a bit 'undecided between the D7200 and the D5500, in the end I chose the latter after having tried, and both at the same time, in negozio.rnPoiché have the same sensor (excellent), my decision was influenced by a number of factors, perhaps subjective, but for me important: rn- the display is adjustable and excellent quality (that of the D7200 is fixed, and I do not understand why ....). It is also touch screen and, in hindsight, I have to acknowledge that this "optional" is really utilissimo.rn- compactness and lightness, far better than the already good D7200. Many say, with disdain, that is light because "plastic": true, but the "plastic", for some decenni, has replaced metal in a multitude of opportunities and with better results. And then I think the strength of the "plastic" is not much lower than that of metal: if a D5500 D7200 were to fall from a table, I think you would be to do the funeral at entrambe.rn- burst "declared" best in D7200 ....... but with a proper SD (see my review http://www.juzaphoto.com/recensione.php?l=it&t=sandisk_extreme_pro_sdxc64gb_95mbs) can guarantee you that the difference is really the D7200 is minima.rn- tropicallized the D5500 not. I do not care, even the goals that I use are not (VR II Nikkor 18-200 and 10-24). Also I hate the rain (so if it rains I do not want to get wet and, therefore, does not risk even the camera) and are allergic to sand (so no pictures on the beach or in the desert) .rn- price: the D5500 costs about 400 euro less than D7200.rnQuesti factors have guided my choice and, after a couple of months, we are well felice.rn

Pros: used as a second camera body is lightweight to always carry an SLR would say perfect, especially with the excellent kit 18-55 VR II collapsible; the main advantage in my opinion is the ergonomics, fits like a glove for those with large hands like mine, in spite of the reduced size

Cons: with the distribution of keys so different from the D610 I have to take the hand, the most annoying that I noticed is that the picture displayed in the monitor is partially covered by an intrusive overlay data that I could not (and perhaps can not) remove the settings EDIT Ok solved, you can take away :)

Opinion: taken yesterday to replace the already excellent D3300, and tried all afternoon ... that is, the image quality is equal to the D3300, which is superb, I can hardly distinguish these shots from the ones I churns the D610 with 24-120 , also thanks to the wonders of the 18-55 VR II that never ceases to amaze me ... but the rest is much higher, since autofocus module to get to all the career options that the D3300 does not have and that I find myself instead on the D610. Lightness is the same as the D3300, ergonomics much better for those with large hands; the D3300 preferred instead the distribution of keys, however, due to the absence of tilting monitor ... excellent presence of integrated Wi-Fi, nice touch screen. The D3300 can find it online at almost 300 euro less, but what the D5500 offers more may be worth spending the majority.
