Re: I Like Inexpensive Gear That Gives Very Good Results

I bought the Nikon D5500 new about 4 years ago with the 70-300mm. I never shoot faster than 3 fps for anything, because I use anticipation and timing even for fast birds. At that shooting rate, it is more than good enough.

The camera has become my everyday camera with 4 lenses in a very small bag. The IQ is high even by today's standards. The body is as small or smaller than some mirrorless today. With the swiveling and viewfinder it is also a great street camera that has gone to a lot of places with me.  like it enough that I will buy the D5600 w/Snapbridge for travelling.

In terms of AF and number of keepers it is not quite as good as my Canon 80D w/70-300 mm II, but that combo is much larger and more expensive.
