A hair smaller
The D5500 is only slightly less deep than the D5300.
Still stereo
The D5500 retains the stereo microphone.
Updated dials

Touchscreen
Though it has the same specifications as the D5300, the D5500 incorporates a touchscreen display; note the Fn option for bringing up the touch control panel.
HDMI and SD slot
Streamlined operation
The interactive panel has been updated to enable touch operation.
Slightly narrower
Updated grip
The grip is slightly wider and a little more comfortable to hold.
Ports

Kit
Nikon will offer a kit with the collapsible 18-55mm lens as well as the 18-140mm lens.
