Is this a good camera for photographing wildlife? null

I do not have any personal experience with Wildlife Photography, but interested in getting into it. Technically, the camera is not what would make a photo good or bad. It would be the lens you use with it. Even thou the included lens in the kit is good for all round photography, you will want to get a bigger lens with a longer zoom range and a bigger aperture to take good wildlife pictures. You can do a search in google or yahoo for "best lenses for wildlife photography" and you'll fine a lot of useful information and recommendations. I have a Nikon Nikkor AF-S 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR DX Zoom Lens, which works great, but personally, I may invest in a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II, the zoom is a bit less than the previous one, but the aperture is bigger, which means that I can use a faster shutter without sacrificing light. Lenses are going to be your biggest investment with the camera, and will determine the quality of your pictures.

Yes, absolutely. The Nikon D5500 DSLR camera is a great camera for taking images of wildlife. For moving subjects try subject tracking or put the camera in AF-C (Continuous-servo AF). This camera also has a Close up Scene Mode that allows you to get vibrantly sharp images of flowers, insects and other small objects.
