Chronology | |
Predecessor | Nikon D5300 |
Successor | Nikon D5600 |
The Nikon D5500 is an F-mount DSLR released by Nikon on January 5, 2015.[1][2] As the successor to the D5300 (with no D5400 in between),[3] this was the first Nikon DSLR to feature a touchscreen.[3]
The Nikon D5500 features a carbon-fiber composite body, weighs 60 grams less than its predecessor (the D5300), and has a touchscreen as well as Wi-Fi. It lacks NFC (near field communication) connectivity and GPS functionality.[4]
The Nikon D5500 is a versatile and compact DSLR that captures 24.2-megapixel photos with a high-resolution sensor and no optical low-pass filter, making it useful for cropping or enlarging images without losing detail or sharpness. It also features a touchscreen LCD and a lightweight design. It includes a 39-point autofocus system and ability to shoot up to 5 frames per second, as well as built-in Wi-Fi capabilities.[5]
A review by Camera Decision highlights the bigger buffer for raw files and the longer battery life.[6]
The D5500 was superseded by the D5600 in late 2016.
