[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 644271, member: 43924"] From how you describe your photographic uses and likes, I sense that you are making the right choice. In most shooting situations, the image quality you get from a D5500 and a D7200 are all but identical. This is not to refute any of the comments others made about the advantages of the D7200 - it is a much more capable camera if you know how (and like) to get 'deeper into the innards'. At the same time, the D5500 has some features, such as the swivel screen you already mentioned, you might miss on the D7200. Don't let the camera shop tech talk fool you. The D5600 adds ONE feature over the D5500, something called SnapBridge, a Nikon technology for transferring pictures to your smartphone that many people consider useless. I would go as far as saying it is a step back from the D5500 because that one still allows you to use a multitude of third-party apps to transfer pictures or control your camera from your smartphone via WiFi, while the D5600 works ONLY with Nikon's own app that has a very limited feature set, to phrase it in a positive way. The D7500 does not replace the D7200. These two are similar in many areas but also quite different in some, so they address different needs. I see no reason for you to consider the D7500 at all. D5500s still sell new from several shops, definitely from a lot of online retailers like Amazon. Get it while you still can, and have fun with it! :) [/QUOTE]
