This is the second Nikon digital camera that I own, after having several Nikon film-based ones. While I acknowledge that my experience might be unique, I have to say I am very disappointed with these products. My first camera broke, out of the blue, despite being treated in the most cautious way. A piece inside the lens became loose and focusing (either auto or manual) was not possible anymore. Repair (now that Nikon does not allow private repair) would have been more costly than buying a new one. So I did! I bought this D5500, and Ive treated it like a baby but once again a problem has appeared with the auto-focus. For unknown reasons, the camera stopped focusing. Ive tried all remedies suggested online but unfortunately nothing worked. It is unacceptable that a product this expensive be so poorly built and last less than two years despite the care and relatively mild use (only ~ 1000 pictures in the past couple of years). Im now debating whether, after all these years, I should change to Canon or anything else. I probably will.
