Nikon D5500 DSLR Camera Kit with 18-140mm VR Lens

In With the New: LCD Touch Screen Monitor

The D5500 is Nikon’s first DSLR camera to include a vary-angle touch screen LCD screen that allows you to shoot from a wide variety of angles. If you wish, you can disable the screen during shooting so that you don’t accidentally change your camera settings and only view images during playback. The camera also ensures optimum playback with clever eye-sensor technology that knows when your eyes leaves the viewfinder, abruptly displaying your image. Even better, the screen turns off when you’re not using it, saving you battery time for more shots.

The “Touch Fn” button is assigned to the second “Fn” button so that you can easily set your ISO, AF-area and focal point, even even your viewfinder information, with a (thumb) touch of a button.

Compact & Versatile DX-format Zoom Lens

With a 7.8x zoom that's well-suited to a wide variety of subjects and a build that is compact and lightweight, the Nikon 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR DX lens makes a great all-rounder. The Vibration Reduction system minimises the effects of camera shake for blur-free images and helps to ensure a steady viewfinder image. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor enables fast, quiet AF.

• Wide to telephoto zoom range: An ideal walkabout lens, perfect for capturing everything from sweeping landscapes to detailed shots of distant subjects. 
• High optical performance: One ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element and one aspherical lens element ensure high resolution and contrast while minimizing most forms of aberration and colour dispersion. 
• Vibration Reduction (VR) system: Minimises the effects of camera shake and lets you shoot at shutter speeds that are up to four stops slower. VR operation is quiet, even when filming.
• Silent Wave Motor: SWM for fast, whisper-quiet autofocus. Compact and lightweight build with weather-sealed mount. Outstanding value for money.

Smart Technology Ensures Photos are Full of Life

An exceptionally accurate 2016-pixel RGB sensor gathers brightness and colour data from diverse photo-taking conditions, be it of a sunny Sunday outing on a nature trail or the muted evening glow of a dinner party. Nikon’s exclusive Scene Recognition System then analyses and measures the available light exposure, flash exposure, AF and white balance before releasing the shutter to perfectly capture the memorable moments.

Maximising Creative Expression

In a first for DX-format cameras, the D5500 includes Vignette Control, created to reduce peripheral light falloff to ensure well-balanced brightness across the entire frame. The Special Effects modes also expand creative expression with 10 variable options including, but not limited to, Super Vivid, Pop and Toy Camera, to provide a playful tint of distinctiveness. Adding on to the visual indulgence are 16 options for Scene Mode, with effects including Portrait and Child settings for the family-focused photographer, Night Landscape and Beach/snow for landscape enthusiasts, and Sunset, Dusk/dawn and Candlelight for magic hour photography. To ensure every artistic expression is spot-on without the hassle of post-photography tweaking, immediate image adjustment is made possible while viewing live-view images with the option to adjust and confirm white balance and Picture Control.

Stunning Clarity with Full HD Video

Enjoy shooting Full HD 1080/60p videos under various lighting conditions, whether filming a sunset street performance or a mass gathering at the parade, with the ability to use up to ISO 25600 during movie recordings. Videos with the Nikon D5500 are complemented by crystal clear audio by its built-in stereo microphone, rounding off the impeccable production quality of a high performance DX-format DSLR.

Beautifully Crafted & Built to Last

Encased in a monocoque structure and strengthened with carbon fiber composite material*4 for the front body, front cover and rear cover, the Nikon D5500 is built to last yet it does not have the weight often associated with similar high-strength materials. Photographers can travel light and shoot easy as its slim style and ergonomic layout also consequently provide to a sufficient grip space for comfortable holding.

Wireless Convenience

For quick and seamless online sharing of images, an option for shooting, live-view and playback during Wi-Fi® connection is made available. With a free download of the Wireless Mobile Utility application to an iOS or Android device, users will experience instantaneous digital convenience for transfers across a range of file size selections. The built-in WiFi® also enables remote shooting with the convenience to shoot from a smart phone. When used in tandem with the vari-angle monitor, the remote shooting function increases the flexibility to shoot subjects, including self-portraits of amusing forced-perspective photography, from any angle available.

The D5500 has a built-in flash supporting i-TTL flash and is fully compatible with the Nikon Creative Lighting System, giving the photographer increased creative control.
