A first for Nikon DSLR cameras, the black D5500
 incorporates a touchscreen LCD monitor, giving you greater camera 
control. It features a 24.2 megapixel sensor and an EXPEED 4 image 
processor that provide high-resolution images and Full HD 1080p video 
with notable low-light sensitivity up to ISO 25600 and up to 5 fps. The 
optical low-pass filter is omitted from the sensor, allowing for 
additional sharpness in both photos and videos. The D5500 has a 39-point
 autofocus system with nine cross-type sensors and a 2,016-pixel RGB 
sensor for precise exposure metering in a wide variety of lighting 
conditions. Full HD videos can be shot at multiple frame rates up to 60 
fps, with full-time continuous auto focusing capabilities. The D5500 
also has selectable  audio frequency ranges - Wide and Voice. It also 
has a built-in intervalometer to record up to 9,999 consecutive 
exposures at variable intervals.
The redesigned camera body is 
slightly smaller and lighter than its predecessor, and incorporates both
 an optical pentamirror optical viewfinder along with a large 3.2" 
1,037k-dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD monitor, which features a 180° 
swivel design to better support 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. An eye sensor turns
 the LCD monitor on and off, enables a Touch function, and starts the 
playback funtion when your eye moves away from the viewfinder.
 
 
Built-in Wi-Fi enables advanced image sharing capabilities, and when 
paired with an Android or iOS mobile device, remote viewing and control 
over the shutter release is possible from a distance.
 
 A wide 
range of Picture Control modes, Scene Modes, and Special Effects modes 
are available as well as in-camera image editing capabilities for 
adjusting settings prior to sharing. Built-in HDR and Active D-Lighting 
modes can also be used to optimize exposure results by preserving 
highlight and shadow details for an extended range of apparent tones.
 
 Included with the D5500 is the DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens,
 a general-purpose zoom lens featuring a retractable barrel for a 
compact, lightweight design. The lens has a 35mm equivalent zoom range 
of 27-82.5mm, making it useful in a wide variety of shooting conditions.
