While there are a number of differences between these two camera bodies, the major difference between them is that the Nikon D7100 has a built-in motor and the Nikon D5500 does not. This means you will have more compatible lens choices with the D7100 than you will with the D5500. In looking at advanced features, however, the D5500 has an advantage as it has built-in WiFi and a tilt-angle touchscreen/viewfinder while the the Nikon D7100 can only access wireless features through an optional Wi-Fi adapter. In addition there are more features for special effects and editing in the D5500 than there are in the D7100. If you looking for more points of focus the D7100 gives you 51 points as compared to the 39 points of focus that you get on the D5500. The D7100 also boasts 6 frames per second compared to the D5500's 5 frames a second in continuous shooting and also has two SD slots for double the memory space. The D5500 only offers one slot for an SD memory card. To learn more about the differences between these two camera please contact Nikon Support.
