Comparing between Nikon D5300 and the D5500 variants, we need to start with the lens. The Nikon D5300 made pic capturing a breeze thanks to the 18-140mm, f3.5-5.6 lens. Coming to the latest D5500, it sports 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 II lens. Having to shell out 850 dollars for this, is not a cheap bargain. We barely saw any change as far as the quality is concerned expect the exposure. The same is wider and thus snaps are coming out marginally better than what we got on the D5300. Again, nothing significant has been seen otherwise. As far as overall photographs are concerned, we have to admit that they are crystal sharp and low light results are great too. However, a slight more spunk up in image detail and lesser color shifting could have won the game for the Nikon D5500.
