    I was reading many reviews, looking at many options, and keep coming back to this one! I bought it about a month ago and have hardly been able to put it down. I love all the effects. The touch screen is very convenient. I love the wifi but do not leave it on when I am not using it. It will save your battery greatly to just turn it on when you want to use that feature. I bought a spare battery but the battery time is fabulous. I have only charged the original battery once so far. I love the tilt screen it is great for outdoor photography when you want to see it in a bigger version.

    Upgraded from my d3 series to the d5 series and it was the best investment I've made, especially when it's equipped with the 18-200mm lens. The camera itself has a lot of cool features and when you add the lens, you can expand the features even further and take an incredible shot.

    I replaced my D3100 with the D5500 the picture quality is superb. When I went on Safari last year my D3100 did a so so job with my nighttime photos. I recently too my D5500 out to take nighttime photos and they came out perfect. Also there built in wifi is a perfect option.

    For a beginner learning to use DSLR camera, this is a really good one. The ability to transfer photos to my iphone instantly made it all the more better. I have enjoyed using this camera on several occasions both indoors and outside. The results have been awesome given I am just a beginner. I am enjoying it.

    Tough to beat this dx format DSLR. It would be even better if Nikon had image stabilization built into this camera.

    I went back and forth between canon and nikon and once I really compared I realized to get a Canon to do what this Nikon does is much more expensive. I love it, and it is super easy to use.
