Identical twins?
The word Identical twins is too perfect and we should say it both DSLRs core specification are mirror image of each other. As far as I remember few good rumor sources stated in the past that Nikon D5600 is coming with the same sensor as of Nikon D7200 and that will result increase in dynamic range of the camera compared to its predecessor. So, we have to wait till the DXO lab test out the new D5600 camera.
Yes there are some advantages as we have mentioned in green tabs. The Nikon D5600 features 3.2″ fully articulated LCD which is better then the Swivel display unit and snapbridge connectivity support, but none of these things will help you to improve image quality.
Verdict: For Nikon D5500 we strictly say to you that you shouldn’t buy the Nikon D5600 camera you and should wait for a better camera like Nikon D5700
I think the D5600 offers the following over the D5500:
– SnapBridge (i.e. photo synch even with camera turned off)
– NFC comms
– CLS flash directly supported without needing a commander unit
– Touch screen AF adjustment while using OVF
– Touch screen Fn button can toggle Auto ISO
– Time-lapse movie mode same as D7200
– Remote control via smartphone
– Location info stored on image files (phone required)
– Additional playback function (crop with touch; frame advance bar same as D5/500)
– 20% more rated battery life
