[QUOTE="okulo, post: 545361, member: 40687"] I assume that because you have posted in this section, you are considering buying a D5500 and whilst this is a camera which I have and quite love, I would say that if you are interested in learning about photography, buy the simplest camera you can find which has just M A S P settings - I might actually suggest just M but I doubt that such a DSLR exists these days though I may be wrong. The fewer tricks it can dazzle you with, the better. Not only will you not be tempted to use gimmicks rather than learning by making mistakes, they won't get in the way - they won't make it difficult to find what you want when you are trying to navigate your way around the camera. Hopefully, you will learn very quickly and you might want to buy something more sophisticated, you could either trade in your camera body or whole kit and upgrade or add to your kit - there is no need to feel that you are stuck with your first camera.
