The Nikon D5500 DSLR is a veritable Swiss Army knife.
Its swivel-flip touchscreen, WiFi connectivity and advanced imaging system make it Nikons most evolved starter DSLR to date.
Unfortunately, this high water mark for Nikon arrives at a moment of low tide for the beginner DSLR.
The Nikon D5500 DSLR is billed as Nikons smallest, lightest and slimmest digital SLR yet.
It sports a monocoque structure of carbon-fiber composite that trims the weight and measurements down to a palm-friendly size.
No, not anymore.
This is a pretty valuable control system for starter DSLR users.
Mobile photographers will also appreciate the built-in WiFi on the Nikon D5500.
It also adds a new kind of control a mobile photographer may not be used to.
Trust that a camera like this produces excellent image quality and is usable in low-light situations.
Megapixel counts are not indicators of quality, and ISO ranges vary in quality output for each camera.
That and decent mid-ISO performance make this a pretty powerful little camera.
It arrives at a low point in DSLR demand, but that doesnt take away from this cameras value.
It might be the most flexible, most evolved starter DSLR that Nikon has produced.
