The biggest improvement is that the camera now has a touchscreen, which will add many options including touching the subject to focus. This is the first Nikon DSLR with a touchscreen. The camera is lighter and smaller than the previous version, and battery life has improved. Other notable features, are the 24.2 megapixels Imaging Sensor, the Native ISO has is 12,800, and the powerful EXPEED 4 processor (same processor that is in the high end Nikon SLRs). The camera is also capable of taking video at a fast framerate of 60p and 50p along with a high recording bitrate. Shutter durability remains at 100,000 cycles. The Full Time AutoFocus feature will allow your DSLR to act more like a camcorder, so you don’t have to manually focus your video if you don’t want to. Also included are built in stereo microphones. The new built-in WiFi allows you to wirelessly connect to a tablet or smartphone. A microphone jack allows you to add external microphones like Nikon’s stereo ME-1. The Live View function uses the LCD to compose pictures and videos. We believe this to be an excellent mid range SLR in this price range. We previewed this DSLR at CES 2015. It comes in black or red color option. For its price and performance and new upgrades from the previous model, the new Nikon D5500 is a Smart Review Top Pick for 2015.
