Rodrigo, thanks a lot for the great video and great photos! I also have D5500 and learn from you what can be done with this modest but very capable camera. Please do more videos like this to show various ways to create a composition and to use the camera - it helps a lot!

I got a D5500 (new) when it was released (mine is red). Two years ago, I dumped all my older Nikon F when I went mirror-less, but I kept the D5500. Still shoot it sometimes. You are right, it is NOT the camera, but the lenses and the person using them. You do great work, keep it up and thanks for posting it.

Shots are killer dude. Love the "puddle" shots. I've got a D5500 as well. I've got issues with the articulating screen. If flipped for selfie mode, it doesn't flip back to normal unless I repeatedly play with the screen. You experience that? We share a simular philosophy. You don't need the most recent and expensive camera to take good pictures. You just need to learn to take good pictures with what you have. Best to you bro.

[@Boogie.702]

Absolutely if you understand the basics of photography the camera really doesn’t matter, as far as the LCD screen I haven’t experienced that but mine is all messed up from the time it fell off the tripod 🤦🏽 my screen cracked

Hello Rodrigo. Great Video. Thanks for the motivation. I watched one of your videos and got the motivation to take out D5500 which was stored somewhere since years. Now I am getting serious for photography and you are one of the reasons for it. I need a sincere suggestion from you. I just have the kit lens that came with the camera (18-55). Now I am looking forward to get 35mm prime lens. Will you suggest me making my kit by getting different lenses for D5500 or since I just have the basic kit and given the camera is really old, should i get a new camera (I love Fuji system) and start building kit slowly for the same?

[@andyboa8107]

I would suggest a used Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX HSM OS, the one with Optical Stabilization and you're good for low light photography. 35mm on APS-C is a bit too narrow. Also Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 which is sharper than Nikkor wide zoom lenses. As kit Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 is the best to me.

While shopping I found an attractive offer from Nikon USA. They offered a refurbished, fully warranted D5600 for $559.95, but if you add the 18-55 lens, it becomes $499.00.
