A D-5500, is on my short list of cameras. Curious what owners of the D5500 think of their cameras, such image quality, features etc.
Opinions on the D5500

Agreed... ^^^
My GF shoots with a D5300 and (assuming good glass) the image quality it produces never ceases to amaze me.
I have a D5500 and I love it but I am of the opinion that once I have bought a camera, I learn to love it rather than eying up other cameras to see what I could have had.
I like taking photos of plants and fungi and the touch screen is extremely useful for focussing on the part of the subject I choose (which is quite critical with close subjects); in Live View, I just touch the screen at the part of the image I want focussed and there is an option to release the shutter the same way.
It is also very useful to access settings as most common settings can be accessed from a single screen.

That sounds like a great system for you. That is one reason for all the different features for different cameras.

The general consensus is that the 5300 is a better choice.
As said if you dont see a need for the touch screen.
Well, I've never met "general consensus" and believe I prefer not to. I've been shooting the D5500 for close to 6 months now and can say it is the best full feature consumer camera Zi have ever owned. In fact, I am so pleased with the results, it is my go to camera. Go ahead and buy a D5300 if you like, but D5500 is state of the art. Perhaps "general consensus" has never used one.

Handled a d5500 today. Was impressed with the features. Felt good in my hand. The recessed grip was comfortable. Felt lighter then I thought it would.
I have four different Nikon cameras, none of which is the mentioned-here D5300, and I find myself using the D5500 quite a bit. It is versatile, it produces terrific images with appropriate lenses, it's easy to use, it's a good take-it-on-a-trip camera because of its versatility and the fact that it's lightweight (especially in comparison to at least a couple of the other Nikons I own) -- what's not to like? You have a choice of a great many cameras. I see a great many reasons to own, and enjoy, the D5500.
