In this review, we will be comparing the D5500 and the K-70, two Entry-Level DSLR cameras from Nikon and Pentax. Nikon D5500 was introduced to the market in January 2015 and Pentax K-70 was launched in June 2016. There is 17 months difference between D5500 and K-70 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger K-70, especially in sensor tech.
We can expect this to be a close match up because both models are ranked amongst the best in Entry-Level DSLR cameras. Out of 82 cameras in this class, Nikon D5500 is ranked
#7 with an overall score of 71 and Pentax K-70 is ranked
#2 with an overall score of 73.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Nikon D5500 and Pentax K-70 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Nikon D5500 and Pentax K-70 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
