[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 473202, member: 6277"] The 70-300 is a fantastic zoom. Much better than the 18-200. I own both. The noise is from the focus motor. Does the D5500 have a plug for an external mic? I had the same problem with my D7100 and just bought a small shotgun mic that mounts on the camera flash adapter. But you must check to see if the D5500 has that plug I went and looked at the D5500 on Nikon and a couple of other places and it seems that you can use an external mic on the D5500. I would highly recommend it. You don't need to get the very expensive ones to do a good job. here are the ones I am talking about [url=http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=mic+for+dslr&sprefix=mic+for+dslr%2Caps%2C164&rh=n%3A172282%2Ck%3Amic+for+dslr]Amazon.com: mic for dslr: Electronics[/url] I was only planning to use mine a few times so I did not get one of the expensive ones.
