In this review, we will be comparing the K-70 and the D5500, two Entry-Level DSLR cameras from Pentax and Nikon. Pentax K-70 was introduced to the market in June 2016 and Nikon D5500 was launched in January 2015. There is 17 months difference between K-70 and D5500 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, Pentax K-70 is ranked
#2 with an overall score of 73 and Nikon D5500 is ranked
#7 with an overall score of 71.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Pentax K-70 and Nikon D5500 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Pentax K-70 and Nikon D5500 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
