DSLR Camera Body

The black Nikon D5500 DSLR is a compact and versatile camera featuring a DX-format 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and EXPEED 4 image processor. Together they offer high-resolution capture, continuous 5 fps shooting, low-light sensitivity to an expandable ISO 25600, and HD 1080p video recording. Added to this, in a first for Nikon DSLR cameras, the D5500 includes a touchscreen LCD monitor for ease of operation.

The sensor design removes the traditional optical low-pass filter for optimum sharpness and resolution, and a 39-point autofocus system with 9 cross-type sensors provides quick and accurate focusing capabilities. A range of modes and features are also available, including Scene Modes and Special Effects modes, as well as built-in HDR and Active D-Lighting modes. For added illumination use the built-in pop-up flash or connect an optional external flash via the hot shoe for even greater lighting control. It also has a built-in intervalometer to record up to 9,999 consecutive exposures at variable intervals.

Full HD 1920 x 1080p movie recording is supported in multiple frame rates up to 60 fps, as well as HD 720p and SD 480p in multiple frame rates, in the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format. During recording, full-time autofocus is available, with face-detection and subject-tracking capabilities, for ensured sharpness with a wide variety of subject types. The D5500 has selectable audio frequency ranges - Wide and Voice. A built-in stereo microphone can be used to record high-quality sound or, alternatively, a microphone input is integrated into the body design to support the use of an external microphone for enhanced quality and control.

For live view monitoring, image playback and menu navigation, a large 3.2" 1,037k-dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD monitor is available and features a 180° swivel design to benefit working from high and low angles. A variety of touchscreen functions allow you to pinch to zoom, navigate menus, choose settings, and choose your focus point. Alternatively, a bright pentamirror optical viewfinder provides precise eye-level viewing and real-time monitoring. An eye sensor turns the LCD monitor on and off, enables a Touch function, and starts the playback function when your eye moves away from the viewfinder.

Also enhancing the viewing and shooting abilities of the D5500, built-in Wi-Fi connectivity allows you to remotely control the camera from a linked Android or iOS mobile device. You can also use your linked device to browse the contents of the memory card, select images, and seamlessly transfer files between devices for immediate sharing online.
