A couple of weeks back, Nikon Philippines allowed us to play around with the Nikon D5500, the company’s latest entry-level dSLR camera which serves as a successor to the D5300. Controls and Ergonomics Despite these subtle design improvements, existing Nikon dSLR users should feel right at home with the D5500. Viewfinder and Live View Another notable design improvement that Nikon made on the D5500 is the addition of the eye-sensor which sits just above the optical viewfinder. The Nikon D5500 inherits the same optical viewfinder of its predecessor. Although Nikon also kept the same size and resolution of the screen of the older model, the company gave the D5500 a touchscreen panel. [fancygallery id="224" album="267"] Like the camera model before it, the Nikon D5500 can also record at 60fps for both 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 resolutions. Battery Life Despite using the same battery pack (EN-EL14/EN-EL14a) as the D5300, the Nikon claims that the D5500 will be able to achieve slightly better mileage (820 vs 700 shots) thanks to some of the improvements they made on how the camera consumes battery. And that’s exactly how we feel about the Nikon D5500. Read more in our articles including "Nikon D5500 Review" and "Nikon Adds Touchscreen Display on New D5500".
