Review: Very pleased with my upgrade - This is an upgrade from my D5000. I'm very happy with it so far. I love the red color, which looks more true red than the image that appears on my screen. The color aides in being able to tell my camera bodies apart at a glance as well, which is actually why I chose the red. It's both smaller and lighter than my D5000, which is very nice as every ounce counts when you're predominantly an outdoor and nature photographer like I am. The grip is deeper and more comfortable. Changing lenses feels much smoother on this model. The LCD screen is noticeably larger, easier to see, and display of higher quality visually. The touch screen works well and makes quick operation easier. The touch screen has some fun and interesting capabilities too, namely touch focus and shutter release when in live view. However, I found that while the first couple of times taking photos using the screen as a shutter release is fun, it quickly becomes a nuisance when every accidental touch of the screen becomes a photo you didn't mean to take. So, I disabled that feature early on. But, I did keep the touch screen's spot focus feature on. Though I'm predominantly a viewfinder shooter, being able to focus right where I want just by touching the screen when I am using live view is great. You can also get pinpoint focus accuracy by zooming in while in live view. I'll still rely on my viewfinder and spot focusing manually for the majority of my shooting though just because that's what I'm more comfortable with. But I suspect that LCD spot focusing capability will be a well used feature among many. My favorite upgrade is the expanded ISO. It goes to 25,600 whereas my old camera only went to 3,200. This gives me MUCH more capability and flexibility in lower lighting. I ran some high ISO tests the first day I got it and was happy to see that I can easily go to several thousand ISO and still have an acceptable image, especially after applying a noise reduction filter in post processing. The built in flash is not quite as powerful as my old one, but still enough to do the trick when you're not using a speed light, but need something more than the available light. I'm pleased with the results of my flash and exposure compensation tests. They've moved some buttons around, but, I'm finding operation pretty much the same as the D5000, or at least an intuitive jump from the older model. There's been nothing that I haven't been able to quickly and easily discern after using the D5000 for years. I think anyone familiar with any of Nikon's models in this series will find switching to this one an easy transition. One negative I noticed in my initial tests is that settings change and a noticeable reduction in image quality is visible if using the continuous shooting mode compared to single shot mode in low light, high ISO tests. Focus seemed far more challenging for hand held shots in continuous shooting mode even though the camera automatically increased the shutter speed while shooting in aperture priority mode. I suspect this is due to mirror movement, but am disappointed since continuous is my preferred mode. I'll be running more tests in better lighting outside once we're out of this cold snap and will try to remember to update this review with my results. Nonetheless, this is my only disappointment thus far. I'm very pleased with everything else. In summary, I'd highly recommend this camera body to anyone on somewhat of a budget who wants a good quality DSLR that accommodates everyone from the point and shoot hobby photographer to the fully manual serious photographer. Due to its size and weight, it's particularly great for anyone who does a lot of outdoor work and/or has to lug their gear around a lot. It's the kind of good quality you'd expect from Nikon.
Review: I'm taking the D5500 with me everywhere I go! - Holly Molly do I love this camera! Is so light and so small. Takes amazing pictures, auto focus is dead on with my 35mm f1.8 lens. I use high ISO and images look amazing... I want to say better than my D7000 at the same ISO. The touch screen is very responsive, like my Samsung phone and my wife's Iphone. This makes doing changes to the camera super fast, almost as fast as the D7000. I'm in love again, I will be taking with me the D5500 everywhere I go now. The D7000 is too heavy and sometimes I would just leave it home. Not the D5500, is so light that I will take it to park with my kids, the fair, backyard bar-b-ques with friends and 2 weddings we'll be attending this summer. Please get one! And leave your D7000 or D7200 for the studio or when you are shooting a wedding or for landscape. I just read someone else review and he says you can only change Aperture and Shutter speed from the touchscreen. Well this is false! Withing an hour of having the camera ON, I was (from the touchscreen) changing my ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture and going from AF Single to Auto to Continuous- 3D, 39 points, 11 points, etc. I can change from RAW to Jpeg Fine, Normal, Basic. I can turn on: Bracketing , Active D-Lighting, change my White Balance, change my Flash Compensation, my Exposure Compensation. I can go from Matrix Metering to Center Weighted to Spot. I can change Picture Control to Neutral, Standard, Vivid, etc. Did I say all from the touchscreen? Yes I did.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the body only version come with a battery and charger?**
A: Yes, is it!

**Q: Is this a US version with warranty?**
A: Buyer Beware. This is NOT a US Nikon Body. It was supplied with a generic box that does not have the original cameras serial number on it. The serial number on the Camera body started with a 2. Generally most US Nikons start with a 3.  Nikon USA confirmed that I did not have a  US version.  So no warranty and no software updates . No Manual or any paper work included. I immediately returned the Camera and they have only credited me with $283. I paid $555. Amazon is investigating why I received so little of a return.

**Q: Can this be Micro USB charged? I had an old camera which I actually was able to charge through the Micro USB slot with an external battery**
A: I own this camera and the charging cannot be done through the Micro USB. That being said, the battery charger comes with an "in wall" charger and completely cordless. The time to charge is pretty fast and you can get about 800 (probably more) with one charge. That should be a fair amount for every day use. If you are an avid photographer we all know to keep extra batteries on hand while shooting :)

**Q: where the camera is made?**
A: Unless they change recently, both camera and lenses are made in Thailand
