Nikon D5500 DX-format Digital SLR w/ 18-140mm VR Kit (Black)

Absolutely love it so far. It is my first DSLR and love opportunities to go use it. It was fairly easy to learn all the buttons and navigate the menus/options. Love how Nikon set it up. I highly recommend the Nikon 5500 for Dummies books to learn the ins and outs of the camera. It is cheap on Kindle and written very well. Study all this up and you will really start to understand how to take some great pics. Auto/Scene mode also take great photos, but its so much fun manipulating a scene with the light you have available.

I have had time to practice with the camera and learn about the settings. I have very much enjoyed the camera so far although I have had it only a month. I like all of the features and know that over time I will better understand how to use all of them. The Wi-Fi is a great feature too. Im glad I spent so much time researching camera brands, styles and models and looked for the best pricing before making this purchase. I feel I got a good deal.

I moved from a D3100. I didnt expect to experience a material difference. I just expected a bit of a lighter weight camera. A pleasant surprise was a noticeable improvement in low light conditions. I take a lot of candid indoor photos and being able to extend the ability to take them without a flash was a pleasant surprise. I still dont remember to use the touch screen capability all the time - changing habits takes some time. One final attribute that was noticeable is faster cycle time between shots. I havent actually measured side by side with my D3100, but I clearly notice it as I take photos in rapid succession

A truly fantastic camera! Amazing picture quality with Nikkor lenses. Great for astrophotography as well as vacation/landscape photos. Lightweight but sturdy. Wifi feature that connects to your phone sounds interesting but in practice is pretty pointless unless you forgot the cable that connects the camera to your laptop. LCD screen is sharp and bright. Battery efficiency is excellent even in near freezing weather.
