I have never seen focus jumps on another focus point. It always stays on the one that started focusing with. That's why I said I don't see any difference between single point and dynamic area. I'm using AF-C and back button focus.

I'm using Nikon D5600 and I don't understand what's the difference between Single-point AF vs. Dynamic-area AF. On my camera you can choose Dynamic-area with 9 points, 21 points or 39 points. However they all look and work the same as when you select Single-point AF. I was testing it on many different subjects but they all seem to be the same as single-point AF. What's your experience? Do you see any difference if you use dynamic-area focus?

<p>Thanks again for all your suggestions. <br> I looked up D7100 prices and "body only" can be purchased for approximately the same price as D5500 with kit lens. I never considered buying a pro camera like D7100 before, but with prices like these it has become a viable option. The only downside is the extra size/weight and it doesn't have articulating screen (which is not critical but could be handy). Well. there is no "ideal" camera.<br> What's important is that I can get about 2 f stops better ISO performance with either option. So it's time to get a new camera :-)</p>

<p>Thank you for your replies. <br> If anything the D3000 thought me to tolerate noise :-)<br> Both D5300 and D7100 are good alternatives. Although a little bit older than D5500 they both seem to have similar 24 MP sensor.</p>

<p>Hi all,<br> I'm new to this forum and I'm sorry if this question has already been answered. I wasn't able to find an appropriate answer myself.</p> <p>The price of Nikon D5500 has dropped significantly and it can be purchased for around 800 Canadian dollars with 18-55 VR II lens.<br> I'm thinking of upgrading to this camera but I'm not sure if I would really see any significant improvement over my current kit which includes:<br> Nikon D3000 camera<br> 18-55 mm (Older NON-VR version)<br> 55-200 mm f/4-5.6 VR<br> 35 mm f/1.8 prime lens<br> Nikon SB-700 flash</p> <p>What I'm trying to get from new camera:<br> 1. Better high ISO performance. With D3000 I can go up to ISO 800 maximum. Anything above that is totally useless. I've heard that with D5500 you can easily go up to ISO 3200. What is your opinion about it? Do you use D5500 and how high you can go with ISO?<br> 2. Better AF system - Nikon D5500 has 39 AF points vs. 11 on D3000. My understanding is that on D5500 AF system is much faster and more accurate in low light. What is your experience with it?</p> <p>Please understand that photography is just a hobby for me.<br> If you are interested you can see my flickr photostream here:<br> https://www.flickr.com/photos/popovsin/<br> Thank you,<br> Sinisa</p> <p> </p>
