You want a camera.  Or you want to give someone a gift of a camera.  The decision is to go with a DSLR and now it's time to shop.  Then you go to the big box store, or the dedicated photo shop, or you sit in the kitchen shopping online, but in the end you come away frustrated because there are so many choices and when you find something that looks decent, you immediately find a review from someone who hates the thing.  Arrgghhh!   I cannot promise that this article will make your life easier, but if you are seeking a DSLR for the starting or growing photographer, you should take a look at the D5500 from Nikon.
