The honour from European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) makes it the second major award for the D5500 which picked up the TIPA Awards 2015 Best Digital SLR Entry Level Award earlier this year.

 

“We are pleased to be a recipient of the EISA 2015-2016 award for the Nikon D5500, a DSLR that allows immeasurable fun and imaginative shooting possibilities with its intuitive and dynamic features for every moment that calls for a photograph,” said Takashi Yoshida, Managing Director, Nikon Middle East FZE. “The D5500 is a fit for any creative, casual photographers or enthusiasts, as they capture the vivid colours of the world in everyday scenes. We seek to continue providing such imaging experiences for our users with each Nikon camera.”

 

The Nikon D5500, offering an effective pixel count of 24.2-megapixel, is equipped with an EXPEED 4 image-processing engine, and a Nikon DX-format CMOS sensor that is built without an optical low-pass filter. Superior image quality and rich power of expression are produced with these notable features of the DSLR. The D5500 is also equipped with a touch screen vari-angle LCD monitor that supports intuitive touch operation, as well as a built-in Wi-Fi® function for easy connectivity. Further boosting the distinctiveness of the camera is the adoption of a monocoque structure to help make this slim DSLR the world's lightest1 with preserving strength and durability.
