The following video presents EUROPEAN CONSUMER DSLR CAMERA 2015-2016 – Nikon D5500:

The D5500 is a compact, lightweight, but very capable DSLR with an easy-to-handle body. Its 24-million-pixel sensor offers class-leading image quality, with excellent resolution due to the lack of an optical low-pass filter, and huge dynamic range especially at low ISO settings. Its 39-point autofocus system surpasses the competition, particularly when tracking moving subjects. The monocoque body design provides an unusually comfortable grip for such a small camera, and the fully-articulating touchscreen swivels and can be used for self-portraits. With extensive manual controls and built-in Wi-Fi, the D5500 includes everything enthusiast photographers need to make and share superb images.
