It may lack some of the external bells and whistles of the more expensive pro-level bodies, but the D5500 has it where it really counts.Since the wife will be shooting JPG, I'm going to suggest you adjust the Sharpness setting in the Picture Controls menu. For some odd reason the default setting is way low, and bumping the setting will have a really big impact in the overall sharpness of your JPG photos. The setting will not affect RAW files (unless you use Nikon software to process them and that's a whole 'nother kettle o' fish).To make this adjustment...Press the Menu button. Highlight the Shooting Menu (camera icon). Drop down to "Set Picture Control" then click right one time. <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">This menu contains all the Picture Controls (Stanadard, Vivid, Landscape, etc.) and each one has it's own set of Quick Adjust menus.</li> </ul> Highlight the Picture Control you're using, probably "Standard", and click right one time to enter the Quick Adjust menu. Highlight the "Sharpening" setting in this menu and increase it from the oddly low default setting of 2 or 3, to the vastly sharper setting of +6 or +7. Press "OK" to exit the menu aaand... You're done. If you want to adjust the Sharpness settings for the other Picture Controls you can of course......The Nikon 35mm f/1.8G would be nothing short of awesome on that camera. If you wanna go "all out", look into the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art series lens. A personal favorite of myself and my girlfriend who, once she discovered how well it shoots has it pretty much welded to her D5300. ....</blockquote>
