Is the Nikon D5500 a good upgrade to the older Nikon D70S?

Hi! Welcome to Adorama! How are you today? My name is Anne. Do you have questions about a camera? Or a lens? How can I help?
I own a D70s and I'm interested in upgrading to another Nikon that wil use the same lenses
Anne A.
ok!
Amateur photographer, would like to take some video too
Anne A.
the D5500 would be a nice upgrade
it's great for video too, with the flip out touch screen
heres thed5500, refurbished, for 599.95
do you sell just the body? What would be the next step up (and what would it give me that this doesn't)
Anne A.
we do have the body only
it's 579.95 refurbished or 746.95 new (not refurbished)
the next step up is the D7200
it's 849.95 refurbished or 1046.95 new
what does d7200 do differently / better
Anne A.
the d7200 has a better overall build quality and button layout
it also has a faster and more precise autofocus
the D7200 also has more focus points
it does not have the flip out touch screen like the D5500 has
the D5500 is a smaller, lighter camera
ok....thx
Anne A.
you're welcome!
