What took them so long? Serious photographers are serious travellers, but until now they’ve been stuck in the dark ages while phoneography has become more and more tempting.

Touch of class

Nikon’s new D5500 – shown-off at the CES 2015 in the round with 200 of them attempting a slo-mo 360-degree video – is the company’s first with a touchscreen user interface.
