Compact DX-format DSLR

The Nikon D5500 is a lightweight DSLR built around a 24.2 MP DX-format CMOS sensor without an optical low-pass filter. It suits enthusiasts who want high-resolution stills and Full HD video in a portable body. The vari-angle touchscreen simplifies composition from unusual angles. Built-in Wi-Fi allows quick image transfer to smart devices.

Lens mount and workflow

The camera uses the Nikon F mount, so it works with a wide range of DX and FX lenses. The 39-point autofocus system tracks subjects across the frame during both stills and video capture. Continuous shooting at up to 5 frames per second helps catch decisive moments. Touchscreen control reduces reliance on physical buttons for common adjustments.

Resolution and recording limits

The 24.2 MP sensor delivers detailed images suitable for large prints and cropping flexibility. Full HD video records at 1080/60p for smooth motion or slow-motion playback. The sensor lacks an optical low-pass filter, maximising sharpness at the risk of moiré on fine patterns. Buffer capacity limits extended bursts in RAW format.
