    This is my first DSLR, and while I plan on upgrading at some point, this is a great choice for people who want to get serious about photography without choosing an expensive full-frame camera

    I found a great deal on-line after reading multiple user reviews. I ordered this item on a Thursday afternoon and it arrived the following Tuesday. The camera came with fantastic packaging and I felt confident that the camera was not damaged due to shipping. This reinforces my confidence with ordering online with Best Buy and getting items shipped directly to my home.

    Excellent images. The camera frame is not too bulky which makes for easy handling. I recommend buying this with 18-140mm lens

    I bought this camera after my previous Nikon camera wore out. I'm use to a much heavier camera, but the functions on the 5500 have made me a true fan.

    I have only got to use my camera twice since I bought it. For the price, I actually expected higher quality photos but the photos are still great quality.

    the D3300 and the D3400 was a good beginning camera for the fanatic ,but the D5500 is in a class of is own , believe once you get a hold of it and go out and take some pictures you will be amaze of what Nikon did to this little piece of technology. Just as good as the D7100 .but not as fast as the 7100 / 7200
