But image and video quality are subpar, it suffers from build issues, and it wipes memory cards.
But my biggest issue with the Realishot DC5500 is that it might wipe your memory card without prior warning.
For the complete breakdown, read my full AgfaPhoto Realishot DC5500 review.

The Realishot DC5500 weighs just 3.10z, making it one of the lightest cameras Ive tested yet.
But we have to talk about the cameras build quality.
It doesnt look bad but its metallic design feels cheap.
It doesnt feel very durable so I would be very careful not to drop it.
The USB mini throw in-B charging port is located on the back, next to the LCD screen.
On the cameras underside, youll find the memory card and battery compartments.
Heres where I encountered a massive issue.
The camera doesnt warn you that its going to format your memory card, so user beware.
Its a good idea to backup your photos before inserting an SD card into this camera.
The only specs specified are the ISO range and the sensor.
Fitted with a 2.4-inch color LCD screen, the Realishot DC5500 has a poor user interface too.
The screen is also quite small which makes it difficult to frame shots.
On the top plate, youll find the power and shutter buttons.
The navigation wheels buttons double as flash, delete, and scene buttons too.
But credit where credits due, the Realishot DC5500 tries really hard to faithfully reproduce colors and somewhat succeeds.
In the second image, I like the shades of purple and teal on the pigeons necks too.
The first photo was shot at 1x zoom and the second at the maximum 8x digital zoom.
Overall, the Realishot DC5500s image quality is underwhelming, and there are better alternatives available.

For context, both the Kodak PIXPRO WPZ2 and PIXPRO FZ45 shoot 1080P video at 30fps.
you could see some sample footage taken on the Realishot DC5500 above.
The camera also beeps when you start zooming in and its recorded.

In my testing, on a full charge, the camera lasted me 90 shots which isnt great.

I really wish the AgfaPhoto Realishot DC5500 wasnt this disappointing.
But thats where its pros end.

Not just that but in my testing, the camera wiped my memory card without any prior warning.
