For the most part, a few little changes can add up to a great camera with the Nikon D5500. It’s got the same sensor and processor as the D53300, but some improvements to the way it handles make it a more tempting proposition overall. For those who are on the look out for their first DSLR camera, you can do way worse than to pick up a D5500, especially if you can find one offered at a good price, or with a great cashback offer available. While Nikon hasn’t exactly revolutionised the beginner end of the market here, it keeps it steadily ticking along and that’s good enough for now.
