Removal of GPS
Lacking in manual control buttons
Smaller body means controls are somewhat cramped. Pentamirror viewfinder. No GPS. Will not autofocus with screw-drive lenses. Limited Wi-Fi remote control. Self-timer deactivates after use. Lacks depth of field preview
Some overexposure

No mechanical AF coupling
Slow live-view autofocus
Lacks built-in GPS of the predecessor D5300
Limited Wi-Fi app functions
Built-in mic picks up stray sounds
The redesigned grip may not be comfortable for people with large hands
And Nikon really needs to update its Wi-Fi app
Collapsible lens opens a bit slowly
A bit too skinny in places
Buffer depths are shallow when shooting RAW
Lacks GPS from the predecessor
No AA filter means it's susceptible to aliasing artifacts
No GPS
No extra protection against dust and water
AF in LiveView is slow
Fine detail in JPEGs can get smudged at higher ISOs
Lacks second control dial found on most of competition
Limited buffer memory affects continuous shooting and bracketing when using Raw
Amazingly small and light for a DX format camera, Good image quality, Deeper handgrip really does improve handling, Touch Fn is extremely customizable
Not very much better than the previous model, Buffer for continuous shooting seems small

Abstract: With so many types of cameras targeting newcomers to photography, Nikon's latest D5500 certainly has some serious work cut out for it.Touted as the smallest, lightest and slimmest Digital SLR camera, it can easily been seen as a response to the slew of mi...
Abstract: Nikon's new D5500 is the successor to the Nikon D5300, which sits just above the entry-level D3300. So, the D5500 may be considered an upper entry-level DSLR camera. Like the D5300, it has a 3.2-inch fully articulated display which can flip 180 degrees f...

évolutions mineures par rapport au D5300, application WiFi nécessite une mise à jour
Tout comme le D5300 qu'il remplace au catalogue Nikon, le D5500 est un Reflex de milieu de gamme compact et polyvalent aux très bonnes performances et à l'excellente qualité d'image...

Ecran orientable et tactile, Bon capteur APS-C de 24 Mpix dépourvu de filtre passe-bas, Wi-Fi intégré, Léger et (théoriquement) assez robuste, Excellente autonomie annoncée (800 images par charge)
Quid des améliorations de l'AF en vidéo, Assez cher, Disparition du GPS du D5300
Il est grand temps pour Nikon d'arrêter de livrer des reflex qui sont de simples mises à jour vendues trop chères. Un peu d'innovation, s'il vous plaît !...
Abstract: Comme le D750, Nikon dote son D5500 d'un châssis monocoque en fibre de carbone et d'un agencement interne similaire (carte mère / capteur) qui lui permet de gagner en finesse et en légèreté.Le nouveau venu est 6 mm moins épais que le D5300, et se contente...
Ottima qualità d'immagine, solida e robusta, bello schermo touch da 3,2", WiFi integrato
Una sola ghiera di controllo, tende occasionalmente a sovraesporre, alcuni tasti sono scomodi da premere, prezzo ambizioso
