Nikon D5500
The Nikon D5500 is a versatile and remarkably lightweight mid-range DSLR that stands out for its 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor designed without an optical low-pass filter to deliver exceptional image sharpness and high dynamic range. As the first Nikon DSLR to feature a fully articulated touchscreen LCD, it provides an intuitive, smartphone-like interface and creative flexibility for both photographers and videographers, complemented by a robust 39-point autofocus system and 1080/60p Full HD video capabilities. Despite its compact carbon-fiber composite body, it offers a deep, ergonomic grip and an impressive battery life of approximately 820 shots, making it an ideal balance of portability and professional-level performance for enthusiasts on the go.
