[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 496825, member: 6277"] Figure out what the enlargement factor is and do a small print with that enlargement factor. You will only get a small piece of the photo but that should be enough to see what kind of detail you will get. What would you be using this photo for? That will make a difference in how it will look. Also it is not only the camera that will make a difference in how it will look but also the exposure. I get the feeling that the quality of the D5500 might not be enough to get what you want but that is just a guess on my part. Just try the small print first. Here is a section of a photo that I shot with my D7100. This is a well exposed shot and at any normal blowup it looks good and sharp.
