After being on the fence for many months, I decided to pull the trigger and purchase this camera. I also glanced over at dpreview.com's cameras in the $500-900 range to see what their best option would be. This camera came up on top. As a beginner, I knew nothing on proper handling. But after a while, and a quick talk with a friend, I started toying around and seeing how the camera perform. I did some quick test shots and the photos came out well. But when I placed my Gundam model that I've completed several months ago, it looked quite different than when taking a picture with a smartphone. I guess one could say it's like night and day. I'm still trying to learn the ropes of this camera. But it left me with good impressions. I'm a bit disappointed that the WiFi capability is limited to the smartphone app. But I guess that's something that I'll either deal with or not use at all. I'm now looking into 1 or 2 extra lens, a fast SD card, and an extra battery. For now, I am a DSLR noob in training. I shall slowly learn how to make this camera shine and maybe I'll get some nice nature shots.

I have been using a point and shoot camera for years because I liked to take pictures and could finally afford to invest in a DSLR camera. I was looking at a few different ones and had decided on the D3400. The Best Buy salesman recommended the D5500 instead. It was $100 more but had more features and better glass. After buying a few books and finding some cheat sheets on the internet for manual settings, I am very happy with this camera. My photos turn out great. I would definitely recommend this camera. I have attached 2 photos I took with it using the standard lens that came with it.

I've had the camera for a month now and taken about 250 pics some wildlife or scenery and many family pictures. The pictures are pretty good, very few bad pics, all due to me learning how to use the camera. It's small body size and bright colors sold me on this camera
