Thank you so much I really appreciate that, and I'm really glad I could help inspire you to go out and shoot that's what it's all about the D5500 is a really underrated camera 📷
Rodrigo, thanks a lot for the great video and great photos! I also have D5500 and learn from you what can be done with this modest but very capable camera. Please do more videos like this to show various ways to create a composition and to use the camera - it helps a lot!
Just found your videos. I've had a d5500 for years and love it, but every now and then... Your video is a reminder that I've nowhere near outgrown this camera. Love your shots, suggestions, and attitude!! Thanks
@@mariolasheras6010 thank you so much for the love and support I really appreciate it, my main goal for this channel is to just inspire new photographers that think there camera isn’t good enough to just go out and shoot 🙏🏽
My mom gave me this camera when she got a d750 and 850 when she went to Africa for a month as a nurse through her church. I love it but I need to get back into it especially with fall coming
Just found you video. Thank you for showing how an 'old' camera is still perfectly usable for today standards. I use two D5300 and love them, even with their flawed autofocus. I will only replace them for a D7000-mirrorless equivalent in the future. Best regards from Brazil!
I came back to D5500 once I bought Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 with OS, now this camera is quite good with bad lighting. In-body ISO noise reduction does not work well tho, so it's better not to use it for jpgs as it blurs the images.
Thank you for posting this video! I bought this camera years ago and it's sparingly used but I'm going to pick it back up again You gave me some inspiration! Next up is looking for a portrait lens. Wish I can join in on a shooting sesh. Cheers🎉
Great video dude. Good vibes. Clever advises. Very nice pictures made from this little toy camera ! I really like this approach of doing great things with old gear that still delivers today! Good and inspiring job
Shots are killer dude. Love the "puddle" shots. I've got a D5500 as well. I've got issues with the articulating screen. If flipped for selfie mode, it doesn't flip back to normal unless I repeatedly play with the screen. You experience that? We share a simular philosophy. You don't need the most recent and expensive camera to take good pictures. You just need to learn to take good pictures with what you have. Best to you bro.
Absolutely if you understand the basics of photography the camera really doesn’t matter, as far as the LCD screen I haven’t experienced that but mine is all messed up from the time it fell off the tripod 🤦🏽 my screen cracked
Hey Rodrigo, i really enjoyed this video mate, I've got a D5600 with the 18-55mm kit lens and the 70-300 zoom both VR lenses and yes I was considering to sell it to buy something more updated, but i don't think i will now I've seen your video, I've never thought about trying what you did and also I need to learn how to work with RAW instead of JPGs all the time. You have inspired me man......thankyou......have you used ordinary AF full frame lenses on your DX cameras?
@@davidjohnston1374 thank you so much David I’m really glad to hear that, my entire goal for this channel is to inspire other photographers to shoot with these underrated entry level cameras, and yes I have a full frame 20mm 1.8 lens that I use on my D5500/D5600
Nice man! I was looking at the Canon 760D (Rebel T6s to you), for product photography and maybe some model shots as a beginner. This camera got mentioned as being in the same class but also not having the low pass filter is it? So for making saying t-shirt product mockups, maybe that sharpness is just the ticket.
We've had our D5500 for a long time too and we love it! Sadly, we had a situation where we took photos in dim lighting and now there are "rings" that show up on the cameras that look like aberrations that Canon cameras have sometimes. These rings show up in the images too. Any tips? We updated the firmware and lens software too.
You don't need any face/eye tracking for photography, especially with APS-C sensors. This camera still rules. I also have Sony A7 II for more arty shooting with vintage manual lenses on adapters.
i love this many Street Photography Videos and i would go for my self to do the same but iam still a beginner i have get a cheap Nikon D5100 with a Sigma 17-70mm MACRO HSM objective ... and i realize this objektive does not work for this Photos ... what where the best for me as a beginner ? a 50mm?
You took amaazing photos man 🙌🏼 Did you use/test the D3500? Im between those 2 cameras as my first dslr... Both used, both low shoots (2.000) and 200usd diff between them. Can I get some advice? Thanks 🫶🏼
@@francodariotorres7671 no I started my photography with the D5500, then moved up to the Z6ii once I started doing more professional photography, but I know the D3500 is a great camera to start with, just focus on composition and how to properly expose a photo
Absolutely the D5200 has the same megapixels as the D5500 the real difference is that the D5200 doesn't have the touchscreen but that doesn't matter as long as you shoot in RAW, understand settings and composition you can create awesome photos

Thanks again for the support and I'm glad your enjoying the videos on the D5500, mostly all my videos are to show up and coming photographers that you don't need an expensive camera to create awesome photos
Hello Rodrigo. Great Video. Thanks for the motivation. I watched one of your videos and got the motivation to take out D5500 which was stored somewhere since years. Now I am getting serious for photography and you are one of the reasons for it. I need a sincere suggestion from you. I just have the kit lens that came with the camera (18-55). Now I am looking forward to get 35mm prime lens. Will you suggest me making my kit by getting different lenses for D5500 or since I just have the basic kit and given the camera is really old, should i get a new camera (I love Fuji system) and start building kit slowly for the same? Thank you in advance
The 35mm 1.8 was the first prime lens I got for my D5500 I also started with the kit lens, also got the 10-20mm and the 85mm, I eventually upgraded to the Nikon Z6ii but still love using my D5500 to this day its such an underrated camera
@@Boogie.702 thank you for suggestions. I am planning to go for Fujifilm and build my kit in that system. Thank you again for your detailed response. I will keep watching your videos to get inspiration
I would suggest a used Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX HSM OS, the one with Optical Stabilization and you're good for low light photography. 35mm on APS-C is a bit too narrow. Also Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 which is sharper than Nikkor wide zoom lenses. As kit Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 is the best to me.
@@seane.c7207 pretty much lol I just got used to it and I trust my RAW files to be able to bring out all the details in the shadows without introducing too much noise
@@seane.c7207 oh yea for sure when I’ve done events my ISO has been up to 4,000 because of how dark the environment is, on the streets it’s a whole different story because of all the neon lights I have to work with here in Vegas that’s why I underexpose

Naturally, I could not pass up the deal. I know you also use a Z6ii, I just wanted to pass this on to you.
Great if you can $teal one. I got this one cause someone at Nikon must ha been smoking something when they set up the web pricing. That is it for me, I went mirrorless so that is all the F I'm buying.@@Boogie.702 Quick question, any of the Vegas floods affecting at all?
