    Your reports and advice are tops! I just bought my wife a D5500 and attached her Sigma 18-250mm lens on it. She loves it! It's very light and easy to set up using the touch screen. When she shoots wildlife she combines a Nikon 55-300mm lens with a Kenko 1.4X TC and has fun! That combo weighs a bit more but she gets some fantastic pictures. She now tells me, "Fro Knows!"

    Amazing overview of the D5500. As much as I appreciate the effort other reviewers have put into their reviews, the audios are so bad, many with strong accents and muffled or mumbling voices, it is a breath of fresh air to watch a professionally made video with clear concise audio. I've actually got a refresher course on some of my other Nikon cameras features that I've long forgotten about. Like "Oh yeah, I got that on my D200!" In my old age, I am opting for a lighter weight camera and the D5500 may be the one for me. Thanks again for an outstanding video review.

  • @RHoveyFamily1
    @RHoveyFamily1 7 років тому

    Pretty much a fine video/intro. Despite typical prejudices towards manual by most reviewers (and I get that), I recommend you tell beginners that they can get way more out of "P" than "Auto" because of course you can get auto results for shutter and aperture but tweak the ISO, focus mode, Exposure Compensation, White Balance, etc. It might also be more attractive, initially, to show the camera with a small kit lens or 35mm prime to demonstrate how it can be utilized with a smaller footprint. Good on you for clearly showing the touch-screen capabilities. Again though, overall, excellent and clear instruction and video about the camera. Play that piano for us one day... :)

  • @tostentwo
    @tostentwo 7 років тому +1

    Really a good overview. Just enough explanation to recognize the menu items when studying later on but not so much that it overwhelms a person. Do you think it may be better to start with the basic settings in the info button and the elaborate from there? That is a good place to begin when playing with the camera and I didn't know about it until I had spent hours trying to find those items in the full menu. Thanks.

    I am so happy to have come across this video! I bought the D5500 a few years ago after having a D60 and I've been frustrated ever since. I read the manual several times but never really figured a few things out until now so thank you VERY much. :) I was about ready to sell this camera now I think I can work with it awhile longer. My main frustration was the focus and I learned from you about the release mode. Wahoo!! One more thing I'm frustrated about is the camera telling me I can't take a photo in manual in low light situations without a flash when I know my settings are correct. Just let me take the photo, if it's too dark I'll adjust my settings! Any thoughts?

  • @wallyllaw
    @wallyllaw 8 років тому

    If you have the qDslrDashboard app for your smartphone, I suggest you to use RAW+small basic jpeg. That way your jpeg image will be uploaded virtually instantly to your smarphone/tablet, and it's also much more than sufficient for sharing in whatsapp and other social media. When you are back using your laptop/desktop system, you can process those raw files as you wish, and still have that serviceable 6MP alongside to give some hint how the camera did "bake" the image, yet the quality difference encourages you to use RAW for any "serious" purposes. Small basic jpeg takes virtually no space (1.5MB or so), so there is no problem having it alongside your huge raw file. (Except it slower on burst mode than RAW only and hugely slower on burst mode than JPEG only)

    Great job, Jared. I'm sure this will help a lot of people. Probably not even just with the D5500 since the Nikon menus are so similar.
    My own D5500 users guide would just be a link to Amazon so they can order a D7000 or D7100 and a second link to a D7000/D7100 users guide^^
    The D5500 is a nice camera, but I think the D7000 and D7100 are the better beginner cameras because they are just as easy to use but offer more features. A touchscreen is nice but having the buttons for direct access is even better.
    But hey! People buy what they like. That is the good thing of having so many products available, you always have a choice.

    • @910suck
      @910suck 9 років тому +2

      No wifi, touch screen is super good for looking at your pictures to see if person's eyes are in focus, pretty much the same fps, plus the price - you can spend that money on lenses, 7200 goes for freaking 1000€ for wifi and better internals.

    • @MattisProbably
      @MattisProbably 9 років тому +2

      Matt' Who cares about WIFI and touch screens? The D5000 line has a focus on consumer gimmicks, the D7000 line has a focus on being a capable camera. Besides, now that the D7200 is out the price for a used D7100 in great condition has dropped below the price of a new D5500.
      Also, the D7000 line of cameras has the internal AF motor. The D3000 and D5000 lines don't have that. Being able to use older screwdrive AF lenses is an amazing way to save money without sacrificing image quality! For example, my 80-200mm f/2.8 cost me 240€ instead of roughly 1700€ for a used 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII. So yes, a new D5500 costs less than a new D7200. But with a D5500 you can't save roughly 1460€ on a single lens ;D And while it *is* a roughly 25 years old lens, the image quality is still outstanding: flic.kr/p/vn7ooG

    • @910suck
      @910suck 9 років тому

      as i said touch screen is amazing for checking your focus points on image, wifi is essential for people who really use their tablets or phones to upload photos to their websites and cant have an easy access to a computer. Im considering 7200 myself, because i really got caught up by your comment and checked both cameras while i was in the airport(at the airport shop) and i gotta say, i loved 7200 A LOT more. I feel like i can grip camera a lot better because its bigger and i love that its not as lightweight as 5500 which feels super cheap, although its not. Plus the screen itself while being very good, i gotta say the whole flip thing feels cheap and unreliable.

    Jared Polin, thank you so much your video is very informative. Can you put out a video that will show how to understand long exposure ( I mean how to understand the shutter speed to know if I say; I want this shutter speed to be 20 seconds to shoot a waterfall, so it looks shimmer! I have trouble understand how the seconds work to the dial. thank you Nance.

    Hi thanks for the video, how do I tether it to an external monitor?? Do you have a preference on what cable should I buy! Thanks
