      Screen and Viewfinder

      Screen

      Nikon D5500 has a 3.2" Fully Articulated screen with 1,037k dot resolution and Fujifilm X-T3 has a 3.0" Tilting screen with 1,040k dot resolution. Fully articulated screen makes Nikon D5500 selfie and vlogger friendly and generally very useful for video shooting. Tilting screen makes Fujifilm X-T3 very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting. Both models feature touchscreen which has advantages such as easy menu navigation, intuitive controls, quick setting adjustment and most importantly a Touch-to-Focus functionality allowing users to select a specific point on the screen where they want the camera to focus. This feature can be helpful for achieving precise focus in both photo and video recording.
