    I got this for my wife, so I'll let her write this: I've wanted this camera for about 5 years!! The price Best Buy had was great, so now I have my dream camera! I can't believe how clear the pictures are and the camera is fairly easy to use. I do have some things to learn, but I really love this camera. Now to get some lens covers to enhance my pictures!! And maybe a couple more lenses!!

    Nikon D5500 Camera, its awesome, easy to use, you can learn how to use it really quickly even if you are not professional, this camera have the easy stuff to learn step by step, the 18-55mm lens its awesome for pictures more detail and not so far away, and the 70-300mm lens its good for a far away picture, portraits, both lenses work awesome on the night.

    The Nikon D5500 is a fantastic camera for the beginner to intermediate-level photographer! It is user friendly and pretty intuitive to use right out of the box. The wifi is a great feature - allowing us to take pictures off of the camera and put them on to our phone anytime, anywhere. It is a good size and is easy to bring anywhere. Definitely recommend!

    Photos are fantastic. Feels well-built and performance is outstanding. Purchased as a primary camera with a 3300 as a secondary. Overall - it's a Nikon. Not much more to say. Have purchased a number of Nikon lenses to use with outside of what came with the package. Good value for quality. Would recommend.

    This is my first DSLR. After months of contemplating, reading reviews and asking the advice and opinions of others, I finally dove into photography. This camera is easy to learn, takes amazing pictures and is nearly always with me. I can't wait to play around with the settings more to see what else it is capable of creating!

    This a great camera for the money. Takes great photos. Very lightweight. Only issue is the strap. Came loose twice. Dropped the camera but fortunately no damage. Spoke with another new purchaser of this camera and he had the same problem. Resolved issue by using knots to secure the strap to the camera.

    I really love this camera. It had a great price with 2 kit lenses. It is a very good basic camera for family pictures. It is not a professional camera, but for occasional photos is perfect. I enjoy the most the articulating screen, and this is why I preferred over Nikon D750.

    Love this camera, shopped around for most entry level DSLR cameras and this one was on sale for a great price that I couldn't pass on. The touch screen is a huge help as well as the moveable screen on the back. Great camera, you will not be disappointed.

    This camera package is excellent. Great starter camera, with al the bells and whistles. I love the articulating screen and I have yet to dive into the real effects of the camera. Not too heavy in hand but very study. You won't go wrong with this selection.

    Nice pictures with kit lens for parents with children that get tired of phone photos and blurry shots. Has all the features of a full frame camera at a nice price. Great for learning photography and functions of cameras and lenses. You will quickly understand the uses of full frame and crop sensors . Would be five stars but I haven't printed any photos yet but I have high expectations that they will be perfect.
