Hands-on Canon T6s/T6i (750D/760D) vs Nikon D5500

[@PaulHojda]

I'd still buy the D5500 because of the better dynamic range and noise performance, plus smaller body and better battery life.

[@photorectoby]

Paul Hojda Those are all very compelling reasons.

[@deltafit]

Paul Hojda and better ISO performance

[@love4musicuk]

Paul Hojda It also has a better internal codec which produces cleaner video. I have the D5300 and it's a fantastic camera.

[@benjaminjensen111]

Paul Hojda PhotoRec Toby and....Videographers use manual focus plus external mics....... and...theres third-party apps on google play, which you can dl to your smartphone or tablet, apps that lets you operate your Nikon fully over wifi as-well..... and.....you guys who review forgets the nerds abilities to overcome and find solutions...and you should report that solutions are found to your critical points....dig a bit deeper please.....thanks.

[@karankanda1058]

+Benjamin Elung-Jensen Would it mean, that D5500's lack of complete use on Wifi can be fixed with something else (a third party app) and is better than Canon EOS 760D. I need some help. I am really looking forward to buy one of these but have an inclination towards Nikon for no reason and if Canon's strength can be taken over by D5300 easily, it would be much easier to make up my mind. Even though, I like Nikon but do not want to end up buying something not practically best among both.

[@wiramahatvavirya3147]

for God sake, this is a DSLR, it meant for taking pictures, video is just a bonus. and when taking pictures D5500 is better.

[@synterr]

Exactly! Canon has low pass filter on sensor matrix so Nikon does sharper images! For me, video recording abilities are only like nice addon in DSLRs. Add better dynamic range and noise performance, and the winner is Nikon.

[@pixelartestd3507]

Cada día más personas graban video con réflex o mirrorless. Pensar hoy en día que la grabación de video es un bonus es una tontería. De hecho, muchas personas compran cámaras réflex única y exclusivamente para grabar videos.

[@EP-pg3xs]

If its a bonus then what do you use for videos? Most people still use DSLR and mirrorless for videos.

[@MrHishamEzzat]

I already got myself a D5500 cause of touch screen and nice colors and saturation and HDR...but honestly canon is much better in focusing speed and accuracy..also in changing the settings in live view and video it is very bad that Nikon D5500 doesn't have that. ..also canon wins in buffer size.. But im still happy with my nikon D5500 small size colors. .touch screen good pictures quality... I thinK each camera has positives and negatives. ..

[@LifeWithDevanteB]

That noise while focusing in video mode on the D5500 immediately turned me off. 😤

[@ForsakenMadMan]

+Devante Bailey same here, its like video feature on d5500 is pointles unless u want always use music as background....

[@alexmarkou936]

Same I was looking forward to the Nikon but that was awful maybe if you used an external microphone or better getting the t6s

[@Danny-wx8uy]

+alex markou if I use a shotgun microphone on the top of my d5500, may I get rid of the focusing noise?😄 Cause I have many Nikon lens, but recently I dived into making video!!!

[@alexmarkou936]

+沈煒翔（MRDANNY） that's a great idea I didn't though of it!

[@michelleread6797]

or you could just get a better lens

[@jayfergee_]

At first I pretty much had my mind made up that the Nikon D5500 was the one for me but now I'm leaning more toward the Canon because I want to get into making videos and that noise the Nikon makes was kind of a turn off. I love that the Nikon has better image quality but I think the Canon is still capable of taking great images as well, it's the photographer not that camera that makes the photos good. Please like or comment if you think I'm making the right choice? No rush, as I'm not getting either of these cameras any time soon, still trying to save, but please give me some feedback.

[@ttime808]

I felt the same until I realized it's easily fixed with an external mic or having music or some type of audio over the video :) still going with nikon!

[@cooloox]

You can hide the noise, but not the lousy AF in video! I hope you're an expert in pulling focus and follow-focusing a moving subject.

[@Mrmattsvlog100]

Jay Fergee personally, i would go with the nikon because of the deep grip for my big hands, video quality and overall structure. But its easy to eliminate the af noise but getting a mic (lav or shotgun). The good thing about dslrs is the mic input so there is no need for lens change unless its really an issue. Another way to eliminate this is just go all out manual focus. Thats just my personal preference

[@cooloox]

Matthew Drake The average person in the street (who these cameras are targeted towards) has little-to-no skills in manually pulling focus and especially follow-focus of a moving subject. The Canon is much more suited to these consumers. Nikon's video AF is a joke and manual focus is out of the question for the average consumer.

[@Mrmattsvlog100]

cooloox true

[@aman681]

A quick question for all the wedding videographers: Do you use autofocus ? I am a wedding photographer and shoot with my most beloved Nikon D750 (which has amazing picture quality and video as well. Can shoot upto 1080 60fps) and have invested a lot in Nikon glass. I have started shooting videos as well and was think of buying the Nikon D5500 as it would serve as a back-up camera as well.

[@DavidDeblaere]

It's actually really simple to choose between these. If you want awesome picture quality, pick the Nikon. If you want a user friendly camera that makes decent pictures and awesome video, pick the Canon. For me, the D5500 is too small to handle. So it was an instant "don't buy" (I've got big hands). Same goes for the a6000. The T6S/760D just felt better and the image quality is still really good.

[@photorectoby]

David Deblaere Nicely summarized. I am going to follow this up with a separate video sharing some more opinion/qualitative thoughts on these two cameras and my feelings mirror your own quite closely.

[@box.10]

I am a retired semi-professional photographer who has sold all full frame cameras and kept my "backup" 760D for its quality. I still have a range of L lenses and a new 10-18 STM and now getting into video. Something I have avoided till now. Trouble is as a cannon user, its nigh on impossible to switch to a rival brand as I'm not starting again nor do I want to. I now have a DJI Ronin SC to play with....

[@edwaggonersr.7446]

After watching a number of reviews, this one was the best, I chose the Canon T6s with the 18-135mm Kit. I purchased it refurbished direct from Canon and saved $160, it worked perfectly and looked like it had never been used. My Reasons: 1) Silent focus. 2) Thumb wheel for aperture on back. 3) Back-button focus. 4) Top info screen. 5) Easy menu. 6) Pro-like feel. 7) Cross-type focus points. 8) Fully articulating screen. After using the camera for about eight months I find that I use live view less and less and the view-finder more and more because I can make most composure and composition adjustments without looking at the menu; what I need is usually displayed in the view-finder; I do wish the view-finder was brighter. I am new to DSLR and wanted a camera that was easy to use but also had more features than I imagined I needed so I could grow. I am very happy with my decision and have purchased three more lenses: Canon 55-250mm, Canon 10-18mm, and Sigma 17-50mm. I've also purchased four Yangnuo hot-shoe flashes; three 560s, and one 685 ETTL, and the 560TX controller. Unless I inherit a bundle of money it looks like I'm a Canon man for a while. Buying a Sony a6000 was a real temptation, but in the end price, ease of use, fully articulating screen and lens selection was the determining factor. Though I still pine for an a6000 I wouldn't trade my T6s for one. I may save up and buy the Sony later this year, hoping that the price will come down or that I can find a good used one on C/L.

[@zepaulosouto]

Hey Toby! Had to write a comment congratulating you for the video quality, you're really pushing it with the editing, great work!

[@photorectoby]

Zé Souto Thanks!

[@isaachuang9636]

Regards to AF noise for Video, I don't think you should include it in this comparison as it is lens dependent, not camera body. It is Nikon's silent wave V. S. Canon's STM. There will be very little difference between the two once you put Nikon's AF-P (Nikon's version of stepping motor) lens on it.

[@simonrockstream]

Omg i CANT CHOSE!

[@jeancarlomn605]

same... :(

[@AlanSturgess]

+Simon Rockstream First I veer towards the Nikon D5500 then it's the Canon 760D but the cost of that makes me shift to the Canon 750D then I look back to the Nikon then back to the Canon. I don't have any camera shops near me which sell either or both makes so bouncing to-and-from will go on.

[@BenjaminRound]

Im getting the nikon d3300 cause im pooor

[@AlanSturgess]

+Benjamin Round In the end, I veered away from both the Canon and the Nikon and went for the Lumix FZ330 bridge which has proved to be even better than I hoped.

[@BenjaminRound]

***** Cool Didn't even know about that camera, I only ever heard of the gh4

[@propnose]

I'm seriously considering the Canon T6s. I just recently got into astrophotography, and have been using a Canon G16. I want a DSLR so that I can get better lenses. Thanks for the reviews!

[@hubbiemid6209]

Great video! I got the t6i two days ago and its very user friendly in my opinion. I was considering the d5500 heavily but I just liked the silent autofocus, body design/feel of the camera and the Canon app to control the camera from your phone. I also got a 50mm 1.8 STM lens with it as a lens to sue for low light situations. For a couple of weeks now, my uncle let me borrow his t3i for taking pictures of family events and I can say the t6i is a real upgrade and im glad with my purchase.

[@photorectoby]

Bryan Coronel If I had to pick one of these for my personal use - I too would go Canon. Glad you are happy!

[@brianventura4519]

great video Toby!! love watching your reviews very well put together. how often do you upload new videos? just wondering if you have a set schedule or not, cheers great work keep it up!!👍👍

[@photorectoby]

Brian Ventura I try to get out three videos a week, on average. Typically Monday, Wednesday and then Friday or Saturday. But being my own boss I am not always so good at sticking to that schedule, especially as we move into a little more summer like vacation schedule. The only hard schedule is the Wednesday night Live show at 6pm.

[@akashj6071]

Nice review mate... Straight Forward and Clear to the Point. ☺ And if you ask my Choice Already bought the Canon EOS 70D🙈.

[@benjaminjensen111]

Akash J He just leave out that some of his critic points are already overcome by the nerds......i find that a bit irritating, because that makes ppl choose on a not well informed platform.....cheers.

[@karankanda1058]

+Benjamin Elung-Jensen Would it mean, that D5500's lack of complete use on Wifi can be fixed with something else (a third party app) and is better than Canon EOS 760D. I need some help. I am really looking forward to buy one of these but have an inclination towards Nikon for no reason.

[@akashj6071]

Benjamin Elung-Jensen if you think that his reviews are worng then raise your own channel and upload a video comparing both....appreciate PhotoRec Toby efforts and giving his opnions....a professional will never convey wrong advice......and take everything positively Friend.

[@benjaminjensen111]

Karan Kanda You just dl the app called: qDslrDashboard. Google it. Its not currently on google play but can be DL on the programmers own page. The app is though on iTunes. So its all good.. See KZbin videos about the use of the app. Then WiFi kontrol is great on the d5500. For pictures d5500 is the best. And control of video aperture in live view isn't necessary if you use auto-iso. So his negative points...are pointless...

[@benjaminjensen111]

Akash J True. But a pro goes deeper than the surface and deeper than the spec hand sheet....with a deeper knowledge his negative point are misleading. Because the Nikon can get great WiFi functionality through 3 party app and the you can actually see on the display changes in light by using the right path...this knowledge is known to the pro....therefore this review is either amateurish or biased.

[@billflynn8229]

I'm really not interested in either of these cameras.....since....I got my 70D......but I do like your videos...and...they are getting much better.....ty....

[@dalibormrkic7808]

[@dogdaleafternoon6847]

Nice! Video is shot and edited really well. I like the new format and think this is the best one yet. Keep up the good work :)

[@photorectoby]

Lost Age Gaming Thanks!

[@ej_tech]

I'm just here to stay up-to-date. I have the 700D and I chose it because of Magic Lantern and has more lens choices compared to the Sony E-mount (for now at least).

[@photorectoby]

MixEcoSystem Good reasons. What features do you use from Magic Lantern?

[@ej_tech]

Mainly video features like peeking, zebras, and controlling the bitrate. Yet to try RAW video. Also ML gives me the ability to use Kelvin for the white balance which is annoyingly missing, as well as more ISO stops in between :)

[@ideminakurac]

Hi nice video! I bought the T6s ( in Germany 760D ) and it's my first DSLR. I tried the Nikon and the Canon 700D in a shop for maybe 4 hours, the seller went crazy X-D, the 760D was not available, I bought it on 2nd May and got it last Saturday. For me was the Canon better, because the buttons feels right on place and for me it was easer to handle. Maybe the LCD is smaller but the display on the top is a nice feature, I use it all the time the same for the wheel around the set button. I love it and I think it was for me a better choice.

[@eztv1656]

I have been trying to decide between these 2 for my first dslr. Leaning toward the t6i.

[@mazinbashar4140]

should I get the Canon 750d or the Nikon d5300?

[@box.10]

Get the 760d rather than the 750d. It is worth the splash cash. You could buy mine if I go for the 90d

[@treygrimsley5427]

I'm a 13 year old that enjoys photography and wants a DSLR. I would do a lot of picture taking with only a little bit of videoing. I want good Wi-Fi capabilities and want to be able to the best picture and focusing that I can get, along with the best price. Which should I get?

[@samimsunju9313]

PhotoRec TV which best for photography sir.canon 750 or nikon 5500... Please reply me....

[@ruff1draft]

Not long ago bought the Nikon D5500 and have the kit lens and I have bought the Tamron 18-200mm lens. I know the video is not good on the Nikon D5500 but the photography side off the Nikon D5500 is great for street photography. So for images the Nikon D5500 is just as good as the Canon 760D. Anyhow I shall probably get the Canon 760D for video. And probably a Sony or Olyumpus Pen F for video.

[@dalibormrkic7808]

Nice review Toby! What's up with all the lint on Nikon's eye-cup at 0:54 is that rubber stickier than Canon's?

[@photorectoby]

Dalibor Mrkic That bothered me too - sometimes the video quality is too good! It is a different rubber, feels much more gummy to me- the Canon is a bit harder.

[@CaptSavageOZ]

Only reason I am looking at the Nikon D5500 is that I already have invested in Nikon lenses for my D610 and old D7000. I'm only looking at the D5500 as it gives me a lightweight body to combine with my 18-250mm walkaround lens. Plus I am already familiar with the Nikon menus and setup (had a Nikon D5100 before I bought the D610).

[@AliKazi]

I'm researching these as I'm new to DSLR cameras, I want to get into photography as well as use it for my hobby/part time work making videos mainly of indoor sports.

[@b3n126]

I dont know wich one to choose. I want to shoot childens outdoor, and some landscapes... I Want the canon because: it is cheeper , the 2nd wheel, 2nd Display, for me better Colours and I will also shoot in dark. (better focusing on Canon) In my country the Canon is cheeper and the lenses from Canon are also cheeper.... And i want the Nikon Because: its lighter, smaller, better ISO, better HDR and the better battery... Please help me...

[@lanewilliams6212]

B3N1 if you're a beginner go with canon. My mother recently got the Nikon and she thinks my canon is much more user friendly. It's personal choice ultimately, go to a store and try out both. You'll be happy with either!

[@fantasticjellyfish9189]

B3N1 I've noticed that the Nikon d5300 is better than 750d in terms of specs and its cheaper. However, Nikon lenses are 20% more expensive than canon's, for me that's a turn down. Most people say invest in lenses more than the body and I tend to agree.

[@Nevatis_]

Please do not shoot children

[@yoink6299]

Poor children getting shot

[@lassekeranen8845]

It's hard to choose from these two options. Canon would be better because I like the interface and I could use my old tamron lens and speedlite flash on it, but the ISO performance is way worse and battery life is just half of the nikon one. I mainly do photography on low-light places, I can deal with it as long as using flash is possible but outdoors with current 500D is only pain. Which one would you recommend?

[@lejejuandemagee5512]

Thanks for the camera breakdowns Toby. I have been looking for a good quality camera for several months now. I have been leaning more toward the Cannon over the Nikon. I am looking for something that will allow me to take picture in action mode as a I have a small child and they move all the time. I would appreciate your thoughts.

[@kyteki]

I want to take higher quality photos to be used as reference in paintings. I usually take pictures of landscapes and portraits. Portrait work is usually indoors and often lower light situations (I like dramatic lighting). I'm upgrading from an old EOS Rebel XT (only have a kit lens). I'm deciding between a Nikon D5300/5500 or a Rebel T6i. Price is a major consideration. I'm leaning more towards the Nikon due to costs but the way live view works on the Canon side is swaying me. Undecided.

[@nikopro16]

I like your way of comparing cameras you are saying just everything i need to know without any all around talks.

[@Txwhitacre]

I started with a 70D, for both video and photos. I wanted to invest in some good glass, but before I spent that kind of money I decided to sell my 70D and move to an A6000 and get some nice glass for it. I did that because the DSLR’s (Nikon, Canon) just were not providing the technology I was wanting in my camera. Things like live view in the view finder. The ability to change, settings (shutter, iso, and aperture) on the fly while recording video are the features I needed. Focus peeking, and so much more it became obvious to me a year ago that mirrorless is the future, so I switched before I got hooked into the Canon glass. I think anyone just getting into photography should seriously consider where the industry is going or not going before you invest to deeply to change. Thank you both for your unbiased informative videos. I don't really trust many of the other online reviewers out there. You two have earned my trust and thats a hard thing to do.

[@mr.incognito4719]

[@jonagoldd]

I am thinking of buying the canon 750D because the silent autofocus and the autofocus in lifeview is better. i want to shoot video so that are nice reasons i think. however i will now watch your sony a6000 review, maybe i will get interested in buying that one

[@photorectoby]

Jona de Bona for easy video the Canon or the Sony a6000 would be the way to go.

Hi.. I was a nikon user few years back. Now i am totally confused between these two t6s and d5500. I am only worried about the focusing in live view. I am a documentary movie maker and love photography as well. I love the low light. I am a Nikon fan... but could you please rate the focusing part between these two.. and your suggestion.

[@geryong5712]

Toby, I understand that by using external mic, u ditched the af noise. What if I use third party lenses (sigma) with hyper sonic motor?

[@jashimuddin8943]

Nikon D5500 is far far batter than Canon T6s/T6i and it's image quality is batter than 7d MII. You can't imagine how good image quality of Nikon D5500............clear winner......

[@photorectoby]

I can actually imagine the differences in quality because I have seen them as I tested the two cameras. I agree the d5500 is better in image quality but that's not the only way to measure a camera as a winner :)

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

At this point in time (December 2016), the Canon sells for about US $250 (T6i: $150) more than the Nikon. That's significant. If you want the very best image quality with this size sensor for stills, the Nikon has it. The Canon is better for video, mainly because of live view usability issues with the Nikon. However, if you mainly shoot video, a mirror-less camera may be the better choice. Personally, I do not like the fact that Canon has stuck with an APS-C sensor that is 10% smaller than everyone else. They should have fixed that years ago, since it results in images that are about 13% noisier at any given ISO.

[@stefarena]

Hey Toby! What camera are you using to record these videos? By the way, awesome comparison!

[@photorectoby]

Stefano Arena GH4 with Canon 24-70 f/2.8 via Metabones Speedbooster.

[@maxfactor4209]

From a canon user to newbies who like to start photography (no video). DSLR cameras are already in horizon. mirror is obsolete technology (even physical shutter). my suggestion is to find something mirror less from sony or panasonic.

[@absolutely_dope1654]

Hey Toby, I am a looking to my first camera, and as I am a beginner I was hoping for some advice. I was looking to purchasing the nikon d5300, or the nikon d5500, or the canon t6s/t6i. All three of these cameras are great and I have watched all of your reviews for them. The 2 nikons are basically the same, with the d5500 being a slight upgrade. For me, I'd like great image quality, with good manual control and something that is easy to use. Between the canon t6s/t6i and the nikon d5500, which one would you recommend? I would like to grab better lenses for both, so which would you say has a better line-up of lenses?

[@daftman6247]

you will hear that noise during the focus makes by nikon in the video that is making the machine ? or that noise was recorded by an external recorder ?

[@astorreherrera4578]

Thank you for your video, by the way in what camera did you record it?

[@DCypher7]

main thing why I want to switch back to DSLRs is due to standard fast zooms + af assist and focusing in LL

[@mangoldm]

Love my a6000, but there are no lenses beyond 240mm in E mount. The new Nikkor 200-500 and Nikon's improved image quality over Canon tipped the scales for me to get a D5500 for birding.

[@StarSprangledBanner]

I am an amateur and have mostly use compacts and phone cameras. I want to buy a camera with a little bit more creative control. As I dont want to buy a dslr (I know it would just gather dust) I narrowed down on the RX-100 Mk2 and the Pentax MX-1. Is the smaller sensor on the MX-1 a big disadvantage and also would it be a advisable for an amateur to use such cameras as opposed to learning first on a DSLR?

[@todanrg3]

One of the best reviews on the internet. Very helpful!

[@tracyblair2120]

Would you recommend the Cannon Rebel TSI or the Nikon D5300 for a person who is just starting out in photography? Years ago I had a 35mm (film) camera and had just started getting into manual use on my camera when life got busy. I at an age when I want to go back to learning how to take good quality photos, not just point and shoot, but I am just not sure what camera is best to start out with. Any advice would be welcome.

[@EitanDombey]

My main need for a camera is video quality. Which of these do you think takes better video?

I thought the Nikon had better interface because of the touch screen?

[@tpcnynas]

Thank you for your review. I wonder if you can compare Canon 760d (Hybrid CMOS AF III) vs 70d (Dual Pixel CMOS) in terms of video recording with live-view focusing. Thank you.

[@cooloox]

Hi Toby, I realise this is an old video, but I'm very curious about something. I just watched the video again on a 50 inch screen and where you were comparing the higher ISO images side by side the Canon is noticeably superior! I paused each comparison. There is less noise in each high ISO image from the Canon and the Nikon images are all underexposed which would hide noise. I'm trying to work out why you're saying the Nikon is better. It's definitely not on my screen. As an aside note I have noticed several recent model Nikons seem to be underexposing images, including the D500. Matt Granger uses a D5 and he too noticed the D500 kept capturing darker images (than his D5) in the same shooting conditions. Great overall comparison, by the way. Keep up the excellent work.

[@Rajupkd]

true. I am using canon. I liked it. no complaints. STM is awesome.

[@MarcelWilson]

Should spend the Extra money and go for Canon Just looking for step up from my cell phone camera on.. Also should go with a kit lens or sigma 17 50 option?

[@TheSrijith2]

Hey there...I am just a beginner into the DSLR world and since last couple of weeks I am looking for buying an entry level DSLR... And being a beginner one can understand the limitation of a newcomer... So within 3 weeks from now I need to buy either of these.. But which one is still a confusion... On paper the Nikon is providing a 60fps with full HD Video and it's also showing good performance on low light... But in reality I need to know how much ISO do we actually use as since the difference only showing from 32000 and the other thing is how does it feel like the difference in video quality when it comes to full HD 60 fps vs 30 fps since I won't be using the DSLR for HD purpose on regular basis.My purpose of buying this camera at moment is simple and that's to take photos with my family & friends, functions like wedding & birthday parties, landscapes like beach locations, some animal photography( not a serious wild life one) and of course take it with travel and tour destination.... My mind is going for CANON T6s but I need to know whether the areas mentioned above is really affecting for an entry DSLR user like me because what I like about Canon is its live view and it's easy of use with touch screen and of course not to mention its AF points with all cross hair type... Please do kindly reply me as you find finished on reading this comment.. Will Kindly appreciate for immediate reply... Thank you

[@EoRdE6]

Just a rather important note, DSLRs have interchangeable lenses... depending on what lens you use you will have a different level of autofocus noise... both can have silent af and both can have noisy af

[@capekelman]

I was seriously considering buying the T6s, but I ended up buying a T5i because I have found a very good deal on a kit. I'm a beginner and photography is mostly a hobby for me, and I like the friendly use on Canon cameras. I don't regret my choice at all. I have achieved amazing results with my T5i. In my researches I also considered Nikons, but the smooth autofocus on Canon cameras (specially with the STM lenses) was a decisive pro

[@photorectoby]

Carol Jedwab Pekelman The T5i is still a very good camera and you have a little extra left over to buy a nice prime lens :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pICnhop5ndyZg7c

[@capekelman]

PhotoRec Toby Exactly! Last week I got the new 50mm and I'm in love with it (still think it's a little bit too noisy for a STM lens, but the quality of the pictures are really good)

What did you record this video with? Quality looks great!

[@doodstv3571]

I'd rather to choose a d5500 even more manually hard points.its big deal for me a long life battery since both them are good.for me nikon it's my better choice because it's more challenges . though canon it's quite good.

turbocobra its possible product defect. Mine has been working fine so far. I couldn't find any setting that you may have changed by mistake...but its also worth checking.

[@photorectoby]

turbocobra You have done a battery pull? That is strange. I can't think of any setting that would keep this from working. You are in live view mode when you hit the record button?

[@myusernameisthisduh]

2:08 is that a crack on the canon lens?

[@soul.rohan92]

between nikon d5500 and canon 750d(t6i) which one would be better for me as a beginner and birds photography??

[@dipansaikia5814]

Please review the newly launched SL2/200D and compare it with canon 700d/750d

[@sudani135]

I like the nikon d5500 which offers 60p at 1080 but its just the auto focus noise that turned me off

[@vineeth7]

Hello. Please guide me for the following. I am purchasing a new nikon d5500. The major concern is now regarding the purchase of lenses. I have made up my mind to go for a nikon prime 50 f1.8. The other lens i am confused between is nikon 18-140 and 55-300. Plz suggest. I really appreciate the way you present your "to the point views". Please do the needfull and oblige. Warm regards.

[@saurabhshirke5589]

Which is the best? Canon SL2 vs Canon T6S vs Nikon D5500!!

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

Hello Toby and Christina, I have a Sony A7 II, with it I got the 28-70 kit lens. Now I’m interested in the Sony 28mm f2, will I be repeating lenses because I already have it in the kit lens, or will I notice a difference in quality if I’m doing large prints? I take photography very seriously but it’s a hobby.

[@photorectoby]

RickBSO It will be sharper and you get better aperture f2 vs f/3.5 in the current kit you have BUT the difference in IQ won't be HUGE. noticeable when pixel peeping but not for day to day snaps.

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

PhotoRec Toby Thank you.

[@hadi181m]

I was a Canon 600D user since I got into photography as a hobby 2 years ago. But the main problem with that camera was the very poor low light performance and limited focus capabilities. I changed a while ago to the Sony a6000, even though it looks as if it is a compact camera, but the RAW files I get out of this camera are amazing with the 24 MP sensor that offers sharper, higher resolution images with a satisfying dynamic range that the Canon 600D could not offer. I was really amazed with the built in HDR that the sony offers where the JPEGs out of that are sometimes better than the RAW files out of the Canon 600D. Further advantages are the light wait, more compact and travel friendly design, 11 fps, and the great fast auto-focusing capabilities of the Sony. You can get the built in time lapse app for around $10 and it is really worth it. Finally, I really recommend the Sony A6000 for anyone who wants a travel friendly camera, with great performance and provides a space to grow in photography.

[@user-mr4dh8ki8p]

When I record video , I have these lines/black bars on my video when recording and uploading. How can I change that?

[@gauravsharma-mm6tu]

+Jasmine Ross I'm assuming you are shooting on Interlaced than progressive- check your camera settings! hope it helps!

[@user-mr4dh8ki8p]

+gaurav sharma what😂

[@gauravsharma-mm6tu]

Are you shooting 30i or 30p, or whatever your your frame rate is. If you are having even horizontal bands throughout your video, you are using 30/24/60i than 30/24/60p of your camera. I personally haven't seen the footage so I can't be sure! Check your video settings- might work!

[@user-mr4dh8ki8p]

I just checked and it says I'm using 30fps and my bars are going vertical? But if I change that setting it ends up moving to the top of the video. Does the memory card matter?

[@user-mr4dh8ki8p]

[@saswatabhattacharya9305]

HI I have seen a tinch yellowish in nikon 5300 so i was hoping to get 5500....? hows that? and in canon the iso separation is much lesser than that of nikon.... will that mater anything in will-life photography? pls guide

[@donbethel3502]

I would go with the Canon t6s, one reason it works with my Mac book pro. The other reason is that Canon offers way more lens options for the t6s. The stm line of lens for the price in unbeatable. Not to mention the wealth of used lens and accessories that can be found.

[@jasso808]

I bought d5500 few months back and I'm loving it. My first DSLR and only reason I chose it was that it was newer when I bought it and it felt great at the shop. :-) If you could do a video on time lapse photography and some beginner scenic photography e.g. waterfalls, ocean scenary etc. it would be great. I live in Bay Area and I'd like to do some pacific coast scenery shooting. Thank you for your videos!

[@photorectoby]

Heikki Mahkonen I have a few timelapse videos here - made with 70D but process is same kzbin.info/aero/PLCUnGRSvb-aIpWuOUjxIFoTofNUlpjYWh and I have waterfalls kzbin.info/www/bejne/baatZp6dYs1kjtk more soon Thanks!

[@basujayanta1]

Comparing Nikon D5500 with Cann T6i rather than T6s would be a better option, as they are more similar in nature. nice comparison though!! The problem of choosing sony or any other mirrorless offering over nikon or canon is that for people already invested in a system cannot switch over because of legacy lens support, especially for someone in a third worls country where second hand camera market hasn't thrived!!

[@SakshamGupta]

Which song /music did you use in the intro? Loved it

[@dakkster]

I've been doing days and days of research for my upcoming camera purchase and your videos keep coming up. I really like your videos because they're insanely informative and you make it easy to understand. However, I've noticed that you always bring up the focus sound on the Nikon cameras, but I've never seen you bring up how an external shotgun mic solves that problem. How so?

[@Labib117]

how to solve the focus hunting problem??

[@SakshamGupta]

Awesome video man! Just wanted to know how they compare to panasonic gh3 Or Sony a6000 in videography? I want to upgrade from a point and shoot to a dslr just because of the low light performance Which one has better low light performance in video?

[@MrKikoboy]

Saksham Gupta you might want to check out the Pana G7 just out for video...

[@photorectoby]

Saksham Gupta Nikon D5500 has better low light video but you will be manual focus only. GH3 is excellent detail in good light. Sony a6000 is great at all around and video AF but D5500 still beats in low light.

[@MrKdr500]

i'm surprised you guys are not getting the canon M3, it's a great little mirrorless that packs a great sensor....i sold my A6000 after owning the M3 for 4 weeks.

[@MustyHippo69]

really like your videos, straight forward and great quality. Would you say its worth more to get the D70 over the T6S?

[@SuperZeroon]

right now i'm more confuse can you help i'm beginner photograph and went chose one camera between nikon d5500 , canon 760d and sony a6000

[@thanmayaksthanu8318]

Hello I'm new to the dslr world . Can you suggest a entry level dslr camera for me?? Nikon D5300 or Canon 700D

[@johnzond]

I'm looking at these two cameras which would you recommend for astrophotography and light painting I need high iso and also what other cameras on the market for around the same price would you recommend would love to go Sony with the a7s but that's way out of my budget

[@photorectoby]

+Jonathan Stafford Get the D5500 - the noticeable improvement in low light will help with astro photography.

[@johnzond]

+PhotoRec Toby Thanks very much my mind is made up I'll be going for the 5500

[@SahilPandita]

Hey Toby I need Some serious HELP ! I'm down to these two cameras and i personally like the nikon environment & built more than canon and i need these cameras for doing KZbin product reviews of Smartphones and other Gadgets. So i want to know which camera will be better for Videography ? I would want it to take nice pictures too but i saw the Samples at your website where the Canon seems to be losing ground, a little to the Nikon ! And Not having manual aperture control on D5500 will how badly affect the video shooting possibilities ? I'll be buying one in a few days i really want a professional's advice ! Thanks a Lot !

[@adrianzarate1571]

have you considered other brands? Tony Northrup recommends Panasonic cameras for video work, instead of either Canon or Nikon. Panasonic offers great image quality but they have a few less mp, despite this, I don't think it would matter, since you won't be making fine prints the size of a wall.

[@dpkd]

+Cronos Tech Go for Canon if you are doing videography.

[@omarvm9854]

Hey I wanna get into photography, I love taking pictures of trees an animals, sometimes I do portraits and I love taking pictures of cars, but there’s only so much a phone camera can do, what dslr would you guys recommend?

[@B3ansGuy]

I'm really leaning towards the D5500 simply for its touchscreen, is the AF noise only with the 18-55mm kit lens or all of them? Will get an external mic anyways judging from these comments

[@MrRobofly]

B3ansGuy But the Canon has a Touchscreen aswell.

[@cooloox]

+B3ansGuy The Canon has a great touchscreen and it is great for navigating menus as well as touch-focusing, reviewing images, etc.

[@janosztin3023]

In Sweden the 760D (T6s) and the D5500 cost the same (759 dollars). I have the 760D.

[@acousticsong-guitarco964]

I bought the Canon 760D this week and did a short video take with a simple 18-55mm Canon lens. The autofocus was terribly noisy using AF. In your comparison you mentioned that the Canon is quite silent, can it be my lens?

[@nicoarcenas]

+AcousticSong - Guitar & Co I'm thinking it is. You might wanna check if it's specifically the STM (STepper Motor, but you might wanna remember it more as SilenT Motor, lol) model.

[@acousticsong-guitarco964]

Thank you for your reply. I just bought the Canon 50 mm, f1,8 - STM and it is very smooth and silent, SilenT Motor is what the name should be indeed! lol!

[@nicoarcenas]

Good for you! Hope it helps you heaps. I'm saving up for a DSLR myself and was torn between these two until I found this video. If only the T6s was closer to the D5500's price it would've been a way easier choice.

[@acousticsong-guitarco964]

Anyway, I can say the T6i (760D) is great. It is very user-friendly, easy to use, and apparently that's what Canon is known for. Great image quality, not the least important...

[@nicoarcenas]

Sweet! I guess that's more reason to go for it. Friendly correction, mate: the T6i you mentioned is 750D, T6s is 760D.. that darn nuance, right? He he.

[@ChristiannTyler]

thanks for the video I'm curious if the t6i has silent focus as well? Trying to get my first decent camera with a budget of 800$ Thankyou!

[@photorectoby]

Yes it does. As long as it is paired with a STM lens the AF is silent or almost silent.

[@fantasticjellyfish9189]

I really like the camera you used to film this video. Would you mind sharing this information?

[@photorectoby]

The panasonic GH4

[@NYCAmore]

Thanks for your video!I'm such an amateur but would really love to take photos equally as much as video. I want to start doing KZbin videos and decided on the Nikon D5500, however, it's noisy whilst filming. How can I go around this? Is it something I can control with an editing software? Thanks in advance!

[@photorectoby]

+Christie Ann do you mean noisy in terms of audio or as in image noise (grain etc)?

[@NYCAmore]

+PhotoRec TV oh I mean as in terms of audio. I know I can get an external mic however I believe it still can pick up the auto focusing (audio) noise.

[@mohit96mb]

You solved my confusion in the starting 50 sec.s but still NIkon is the king in Price and Battery

[@I_M_Khalil]

i am a beginner....what should i buy between Nikon D5300 and Canon T6i??What lens should be good for me????

[@trainmonrovia1912]

I'm a Canon shooter, so my sense is that I could easily go with Nikon but not with Sony or Pentax because of their limited lens choices/values. Also, being able to look through a DSLR viewfinder without having to turn on the unit has always been a big plus for me over mirrorless cams. I like seeing the actual image reflected off a mirror. It feels so natural. The D5500 is significantly cheaper than the Canon T6s, so that could win me over. However, the video problems you mentioned re the Nikon is troubling. Thanks MAN!

[@133faceman]

Do Sigma Lenses like the 17-50mm 2.8?! Now work on the Canon 750d 760d in LiveView? Was just about to get 760d and read when it was launched they didnt. Is a deal breaker I think, so many good lens now not able to use.

[@photorectoby]

133faceman I have heard mixed reports and I am not sure. Last I heard sigma was working on a firmware fix. You should try contacting them directly.

[@ruff1draft]

Can I use a metabone adapter for the Nikon D5500. If so what are the good prices for one.

[@1ayvee]

The review is really efficient and it comes down to making the choice based on individual preference. Nice work!
