Nikon D7000 vs Nikon D5500 vs Sony A6000 vs Canon 70D

[@CountryAIart]

The Nikon D7000 is a beast. It was well ahead of its time in terms of performance. The shutterspeed and the ISO damn

[@geralkay3012]

So I think D7100 better. I need one.

[@RealWorld]

A quick update ... as mentioned in my video, I like all of these cameras with a special interest in the Sony a6000. I mentioned my needs for a camera that can shoot great photos as well as video. Canon fits the bill but Sony introduces some very interesting features. I will post another video soon with additional thoughts on the a6000.

[@AllenandAndy]

Hello, I need a little help. Because of money issues, I am purchasing a used d7000. I am ok with the specs. How is the reliability of the d7000, id it ok to buy used? Thanks

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post Alann ... caught you on a couple of other video comments:). I typically stay on-top of comments time permitting. Nonetheless, the D7000 is a solid camera and one that I still own today. It is a camera that I could take into extreme weather and not think twice.

[@nightmareaccomplice5816]

VERY informative video!!! Loved it! I'm getting a Nikon d7000 today off of market place and the video made me feel better about it. I know its an older camara but I'm not rich! Lol. I have a cannon t5 and a cannon sl2 . the sl2 isn't weather resistant and it also feels like a toy with all the plastic. It also is too light and small. I bought a battery grip to have something to hold on to.. I dont mind the weight and really prefer It. It has WiFi and an articulated screen but I can do without that and it also only has 9 focus points of which only one is cross type. Im leaning towards the wildlife so I think the d7000 will be better! What do you think??

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) I suspect you have the D7000 but now considering I am a couple of weeks late to your post:). It's a great beast of a camera. I have used the D7000 for many years and continue to do so today. It is hefty which I do not mind and prefer in some situations (extra weight helps to steady the camera).

[@nightmareaccomplice5816]

@@RealWorld yes sir!!! Thank you for responding !!!! Ive noticed that when I take a photo and it comes up on live view it always looks yellow!?!?!? Makes me mad, my sl2 doesn't do that and ive checked the white balance and all other settings. Its not real yellow but noticable. Maybe its just a characteristic of the camara... Other than that I love it. I want to get a cannon 80d or 90d do you have any thoughts on those? Im gonna keep the d7000 because it really is something special.. Its really good after 10 years!

[@RealWorld]

Interesting issue regarding the yellow tint - perhaps an issue with the display and the not the image. Nonetheless, regarding the 80D - I like it:). I reviewed the camera a while back ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX_Hg6mnYpibnac ) ... a solid camera and one I would use for video (does a good job on photos but great on video).

[@Holdit66]

@@RealWorld To be fair I don't think the D7000 is _that_ hefty. I have small enough hands and it fits them just fine. In fact I did try out a D700 and found that a bit uncomfortable due to its size and weight. When I looked at your video I thought that the D5500 must be tiny if the D7000 looks so big next to it! 😃I would agree that the D7000 is good and solid though.

[@shubhankar6586]

I want to start with a better camera for photography ( better colour accuracy and image quality ). Landscape, birds, portrait, nature are my interests . Can you suggest me a good one ? Among Sony a6000, canon 800d, 750d, Nikon 5600d,5300d,3400d ?

[@RealWorld]

This is a good/tough question:). Of the cameras you mention only one is has a full sensor - the D750. I have shot with many cameras over the years using both crop and full sensors. Crops are fully capable of taking good/solid shots but full sensors an advantage in low light, depth of field, and overall recover/manipulation of image in post processing. I might lean towards the D750 ( amzn.to/2V2YKwy ), the Sony A7 III ( amzn.to/2Vg7rJ0 ), or the Nikon D850 ( amzn.to/2Ljdx6B ):). Of the three given, I might lean towards the D750 if money is relatively tight, lean towards the D850 if you plan to take landscape shots and produce HUGE prints and have some extra money, or towards the A7 III if you want a mirrorless camera with awesome focus/technology:). After you decide on the body, consider a good lens:).

[@785jrtasanG]

I am planning to buy a camera...please help me choose between a6000, nikon d5600 and if there is any canon in this range... I need it exclusively for still photography

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/question:). I like the D5600 - amzn.to/2DJkQ3k ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3XIiGSGjqiho6M ). I have shot with the a6000 as well along with a few different Canon cameras. Nikon removed the AA filter which is nice (this is the anti-aliasing filter ... removing this tends to sharpen resulting images slightly).

[@dhananjayvirat6157]

Can you suggest me which would be better for traveling and photography -sony a6000 or nikon d5600

[@RealWorld]

I have used both and some might say to go with the a6000 because it is smaller. Both are very good in my opinion and I feel the D5600 is not much bigger nor heavier. Might come down to price and future use. The a6000 will overheat when shooting relatively long video clips (longer than 10 mins or so). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).

[@michaeldangora1784]

I have been searching for months reviewing KZbin video etc, as a first time camera owner I've decided on the Sony A 6000. please tell me I'm making a good choice Lee

[@RealWorld]

+michael dangora -- Yes, you have made a great choice!:) I have been shooting for many years and have touched many cameras along the way. The A6000 has a different look and feel to the traditional DSLR users (myself included:)). The more I use the A6000, the more I like it. I have created a few different videos on the A6000 and will post more as time goes on (subscribe to get alerts, etc.).   My first advice ... take your time and read the manual (and ask questions on forums like this). The camera is more than capable of most needs and will treat you well. I have been using it to shoot great picts and video (picts/video of family, tutorials, etc.). If you can understand the relationship between shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, your creativity will flow:). This is not mandatory as you can simply place the A6000 in fully auto or intelligent auto and shoot away, but the camera is capable of much more:). I plan to create a video in the next few days regarding intelligent auto on the a6000 for those who want to know more about it. Hope this helps!:)

[@atNguyen-ff2ry]

Thanks for the video. Which camera is the best to buy sir....Nikon d5600 or canon 800d or a6000 .I take pictures of places, sceneries, people, sports and buildings and sometimes take videos too

[@RealWorld]

All three are great cameras, however given the information you provided I might lean towards the 800d (T7i). I recently created a review on the camera which can be found here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJjZgYV9qMiYntU ... the STM lens is great for many situations including video. Canon does a great job with AF and video in my opinion:).

[@atNguyen-ff2ry]

Thanks RealWorld

[@idirus2]

really nice video...but it didn't help me to make the choice and I'm still hesitating between nikon d7700, d5500 and the sony a6000.

[@RealWorld]

glad to be of help ... always tough when deciding:). my quick/general thought on the 3 cameras: d7700 - good for heavy duty action (take it in the rain, sand, etc.); d5500 - good all around camera (not as tough as the d7700 but still solid); a6000 - a good feature rich camera (features are nice but the camera will overheat when shooting continuous video for 10-12 mins).

[@dannymcbrown924]

I'm trying to get my first DSLR and I'm not into Video recording not at all. Am just into photography only Which one of these should I purchase?? Pls reply

[@RealWorld]

Hello and thanks for the comment/question:). If you are not interesting in video, I would go with the Nikon D7000 or D7100. I have been shooting with the D7000 for a handful of years and the camera is a beast. In addition, I suspect you can get one used for a good price. I typically run with the D7000 and the Nikon 18-200 lens which is a great versatile range IMO.

[@dannymcbrown924]

+RealWorld would u choose the d7100 over the d5500? Pls reply

[@RealWorld]

This is a good question as they are both very comparable, however I like the heavier weight of the D7100 along with the weather seal which is lacking in the D5500. In addition, the D7100 has more AF points. Nonetheless, if I found a good deal on one vs the other, I would give my vote to the cheaper of the two. The D5500 is a bit cheaper comparing the cost of body to body and retail to retail. If you found a used D7100 cheaper, go for it:). I do not think you will go wrong with either choice.

[@ranger1959ful]

Would a D5500 be a good upgrade from a D3400?

[@RealWorld]

the d5500 is a solid choice, however it has the same sensor size as the d3400. while dynamic range might be slightly different, the overall image quality will be relatively similar.

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

I know this is an older video, but I'm looking to upgrade my DSLR later this year around Christmas. At first I was looking at the D5600, mainly because you can get the body and the 70-300 lens(along with an 18-55) for under $600, but after watching quite a few videos, I'm now looking at the D7200 which I can get just the body for a little more. Just curious what your personal recommendation would be? Would be used for mostly astrophotography, landscapes, weather, and just general stuff when I go hiking(rivers/waterfalls). I'm planning on getting the Tokina 11-16mm and the Tamron 18-400mm at some point, and I believe they would both be compatible. I believe the 7000 series are weather proofed, which is a feature I'd like, but I'm looking more at performance vs. money since budget is a bit tight as I'm focusing on trying to upgrade my lenses. Edit: Watching your D5600 review now...lol, you have a video for everything, love your channel.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) Unless you want a rotating touch screen, I might lean towards the 7200 ( amzn.to/2LVTU52 ):). I shot with both the 5000 series and 7000 series over the years and both will take similar resulting images, however the 7000 series has a solid feel. If you pickup the 5600 and then pickup the 7200, I suspect you may feel the same. The D5600 is a great depending on your needs though, but if you want something to withstand the elements, consider the D7200:). The D7200 has a weather seal which makes it water resistant (not waterproof:)). Nonetheless, I have not problems using the 7000 series in the rain, snow, etc.

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

@@RealWorld Thanks for the reply! After further research I'm definitely looking into the 7000 series, especially after discovering keh.com. I just picked up a sigma 17-70 f 2.8 and the Nikon prime 35(after watching your video) and can't wait to start using them. I'm now considering a D7100 since it has some upgrades over the D7000 and sits at a bit more reasonable price vs. The 7200.

[@AbhishekJoshi]

I would greatly appreciate if you could help me decide between A6000 and D5600. I would use it for hiking, landscapes, and astro photos... Thanks!

[@RealWorld]

While Sony did a good job with adding additional features (mainly a bunch of AF points which are good for tracking moving subjects), they have an overheating problem. I have used the a6000 and currently using the a5100 - both overheat which shooting video for any length of time (one video for around 10 mins) ... no overheating issues with the D5600. I created a video review on the D5600 which can be found here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3XIiGSGjqiho6M

I am confused between buying a second hand Nikon D7000 ($370) and a second hand Sony A6000 ($450) . Any advice ?

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/question!:) Ahhhhh yes ... I still have my trusty D7000:). Nonetheless, I would lean towards the a6000. The a6000 may not be built the same, but the D7000 has a max ISO of 6000 vs 25600 (you may never needed 25600 but I could see going past 6000:)). There are other benefits like number of auto focus points and faster continuous shots. The biggest downside to the a6000 is battery life (rated at 360 shots which is too bad) and overheating (the camera may overheat when shooting continuous video more than 10 mins or so). You might also consider the D3400 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYC1eoGFlrGGis0 ). The D3400 does not have the same build quality as the D7000 but has a nice solid set of features to get you started in my opinion.

There is a $300 difference between D5500 and D7200, likewise with Canon. Shall I buy a low budget and spend it on lens or spend on a better body?

Hello Rounak and thanks for the question:). All the cameras listed are solid but if I had to choose two, I would focus on the D7200 and 80D. I have used Nikon for many years and like the weight and feel of the body, however I feel the Canon 80D is much better in the focus department regarding video. If you have Nikon lenses and plan to shoot most photos, go with the 7200. If you do not own any Nikon lenses and could go in either direction, I suggest the 80D:).

[@Pierrot110194]

A thing to keep in mind: Photos taken a few years ago will not lose their appeal to you because they are a few years old. Simlilarily, a camera which is a few years old won't suddenly produce pictures that are not pleasant to look at. As he said in the video, you won't know the difference if you're not a professional. Your skill in handling the camera and picking out the scenery makes the photo. Whether you use a camera that is 5 years old or whether you use the most expensive one you can find today.

I’m buying it for my kids I would like to take mostly photos and videos, I’m planing on keeping this camera for 10-15 years so I would like something that can keep the quality of the photo 10 years from now, I just ordered Olympus m5 mark2 used with 2 lenses, run me about 1200.

[@RealWorld]

Hmmmm ... I know people who really like Olympus - it is a solid camera/choice. In addition, the a6300 and Nikon D5600 are solid is there own way:). The a6300 will overheat when recording video for more than 10 mins or so. The Olympus has a smaller sensor but have built-in image stabilization which many I know really enjoy it. I do not think you will go wrong with either the Olympus or the Nikon (Sony is solid as well but as mentioned but can overheat).

Hello Jazzim and thank you for the post/question:). I have been a big fan of the D7000 ... it feel meaty/solid in my hands, weather sealed, and has a great battery life!:) Nonetheless, the camera was release in 2010 whereas the D5300 was release in 2014. The D5300 has 24mp compared to the D7000 at 16mp, has a full articulating screen, and lacks the AA filter which is nice. The D7000 has a much better battery life. Nonetheless, the feel of one is not comparable to the feel of the other ... the D7000 feels much more solid IMO. This is a tough call IMO. I would have not thought twice and recommended the D7000, but after taking a closer look at the D5300, I may have to give the nod to the D5300:).

[@butterflyloveppg772]

Is it worth upgrading from nikon d3200 to 5500? Is 5500 really good in low light?

[@RealWorld]

The D5500 has a few notable upgrade worthy considerations ... 1) articulating screen (which can be very helpful at times) 2) higher ISO (25600 vs 6400 in the D3200; higher ISOs enables the camera to capture an image in low light). I like the option to hit 12800 if needed but not certain you will need to reach 25600:). Also note that if you will see more noise in the image with higher ISOs but you will at least have the ability to capture the scene:). 3) Nikon removed the AA filter (this is the anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images). Is it worthy of an upgrade? ... it is definitely worth considering in my opinion:). If you do upgrade, you can sell your D3200 body making the total upgrade cost less:). Hope this info helps to some extent!:)

[@arjora]

which one is better for the indoor photography (concert, party, seminars, etc) ? D7000 or a6000? for several years i use D3000+18-105mm lens what do you recommend for me? thanks

[@RealWorld]

Hi Joshua and great question!:) For many years I have shot with the Nikon D7000. I find the camera to be a solid and a very likable beast!:). I have used the camera is many situations (both indoor and out). Nonetheless, if I had to pick one based on your needs, I would consider the a6000. In low light situations sensor size and resolution can make a difference. All four cameras share a similar sensor but differ in resolution (the A7000 has 16mb vs the a6000 with 24mb). I feel the a6000 does a slightly better job in low light compared to the D7000 (note: I also fee the 70D and D5500 are slightly better as well). The a6000 is different in many ways compared to the others. The mirrorless format along with Sony's technology offers many advantages. With that stated I still reach for my D7000:). Why? The form factor:). I have grown accustom to the larger body, view finder, and much longer battery life (compared to the a6000). If these few items are of little concern, the a6000 is a great choice. The small form factor is a positive on many fronts as well ... much easier to maneuver and great for street photography. The pull-away screen is a great for low angle shots along with many other features (focus peaking, focus tracking, high-speed burst, etc.). Hope this helps!:)

[@arjora]

yeah it bothers me when taking a picture in low light situation. but can i ask again. if i want to use the lens from nikon to the a6000, with the converter lens, can i get at least the same quality image? and do you recommend me to do that? sorry, i'm not good in the knowlegde of these camera.

[@RealWorld]

Not a problem and glad to help:). Regarding the quality of image when using a Nikon lens on a Sony camera - the quality will not be impacted and should be fine. Using a lens adapter is a great solution to leveraging lenses from another manufacture (here is a relatively cheap adapter for Nikon to Sony - amzn.to/2e5bjXb). One note - you will lose auto focus capabilities but be prepared to use manual focus:). If you do not mind manual focus, the whole world of lenses will open up ... you can leverage just about any/old lens on the Sony. Sony's focus peaking is a HUGE help when using manual focus.

[@arjora]

[@RealWorld]

Hello and thank you for the question ... these two cameras are very similar with one main difference - the D5500 has a touch-screen (image quality is the same). If it were me and depending on costs (if they were the same costs), I would go for the D5500. The D5300 has the 70-300 providing a bit more reach, but I value the touch-screen more:). In addition, the D5500 has a slightly better battery rating (820 shots vs 600). If the D5300 is considerably cheaper (perhaps you found a used one), I would strongly consider the D5300. Hope this helps!:)

[@shreyassathish5109]

There's almost a difference of 8,000 rupees here, in INDIA ...I'm not sure if it's worth it just for the touch screen even though we get only a 55 - 200 mm lens

[@RealWorld]

Hmmmm ... yes, that is about $120 more. In the US the price is much closer between the two. The main difference is found in the touch-screen along with a slight improvement in the battery. The touch-screen is nice but perhaps not worth $120:).

I would suggest taking a look at the Nikon fixed 50mm 1.8 lens ... this is a good/solid portrait lens at a relatively low cost IMO. You can always use the lens on a different Nikon body down the road if you like. Since releasing my review on the D3400, I have taken many questions from people starting out which is great. This has motivated me to release more videos on next steps - a series of how to vids, etc.

[@cristianfuentes69]

Friend, I have the d7000, do you think I could win in image quality if I take the a6000? I'm not interested in the video, just photographs ... thanks

[@RealWorld]

Hello and thanks for the question:). I have been using the D7000 for many years and really enjoy the camera. There are three parts to a good image ... 1 - the body, 2 - the lens, 3 - the photographer. The most important of the three is the photographer followed by the lens and then by the body IMO. I also feel shooting in raw is a good choice. Both cameras feature the same sensor but the a6000 has a larger resolution. The a6000 may shoot slightly better images IMO, but I feel the results are relatively negligible. Ultimately, I enjoy the feel of the D7000:). Hope this helps to some extent:).

[@cristianfuentes69]

RealWorld Thanks, when I update I go for the D7200 and I do astrophotography and landscape, that's why I need to upload the pixels ... for the price, it seemed good option the a6000 since for street photography is much less voluminous. But I must decide on a body for everything, if I could go for the Fuji X-T2 or sony a7 but it is very expensive for me, in addition to their lenses. Thanks again, as you have the advantage of having both and tested.

[@The_Devil_Itself]

Hello, i am gonna buy a camera in few days, and dont know wich one to take d5300 or d7000. D5300 has better lenses. Im interested in shooting landscapes/astrophotography, cars and city life. Please can you suggest something for me? D7000 atm have org lenses and nikor 50mm 1.8f. D5300 have Nikor 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. Price are almost the same for both (both are used). D5300 made 4282 pictures, D7000 have 120k+ .

[@RealWorld]

I would lean towards the D5300 (keep in mind that I have shot with the D7000 for many years and still have it:)). Nikon rates the shutter life of the D7000 at 150k shots and the D5300 at 100k shots. This is a rough gauge and many cameras will not have issues going past the given number as this is just a general benchmark. Nonetheless, the D5300 offers more features/benefits in my opinion (higher resolution, articulating screen, higher ISO, etc.).

[@The_Devil_Itself]

Also, what about 7100? I found one with same price as 5300 and 7000, but 7100 dont have any lenses? Photos taken ~13k. Thanks for your answers

[@RealWorld]

I would lean towards the D7100:) ... better battery life, weather sealed, faster max shutter (1/8000 vs 1/4000), and high rated shutter life (150k vs 100k):).

[@The_Devil_Itself]

Thank you, i will buy 7100 then :)

[@mariolaranjeiras3667]

Thank you for the video and for putting all players together! For me , Sony a6000 is the trend and Nikon D7000 is a must.

[@RealWorld]

+Mario Gomes Laranjeiras -- thanks for the comment!:) I have spent more and more time with both (the Nikon D7000 and the Sony A6000). The Sony takes time to warm-up to but once you do, it is nice:). I have managed to take some great photos with it but also managed to miss some ... mostly due to operator error:). The D7000 is a beast though - I have been using it for years and like the feel, etc.

[@ЮрийЖмайло]

Sony a6000 are the best option in my opinion but you also need some extra batterie/batteries for it if you are professional. The main disadvantage for me is that it does not have autofocus in the body (so called "screwdriver" here in Ukraine), which means that I will not get autofocus using Minolta or Sony A mount lenses with a simple cheap adapter from Minolta A/Sony A to Sony E mount. But even in this case, there is a way out - LA-EA5 (all trough it's quite expensive but useful )

[@alphonsosamasius7015]

Hi sir, I am am thinking of buying my first DSLR and interested in the Nikon D5600. However, with the same price I found that I can get a new D7100. The D7100 looks more solid and seems like it can bring me a long way, but the D5600 seems to be easier to learn ( as I said earlier, this is my first DSLR).IMO the D5600 is better for a starter like me, but the D7100 is equally as tempting. Can you give your opinion on this? Great video by the way.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback/question!:) Ahhhhh yes, I like the 7000 series and owned the D7000 for many years (still use it:)). You are correct with your observation regarding solid build/feel compared to the D5600. Nonetheless, both the 7100 and 5600 share the same size sensor and resolution, however the D7100 is weather sealed, the D5600 has a higher ISO (native - 25,600 vs 6,400), the D5600 has an articulating touch screen which is nice. If given the choice and knowing this is your first DSLR, I might lean towards the D5600. Keep in mind the D5600 is a couple of years newer and will typically hold it's value if you choose to sell and upgrade at some point:).

[@alphonsosamasius7015]

Yes, the D5600 it is then! Thanks a lot!

[@QueenBee-tk3mq]

what would you recommend for recording for youtube and for vlogging?I really dont want the camera to be focusing on the background and i want something with good quality

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the comment/question. I have been down a similar path and selected the Sony A6000 for video. I also like the Canon 70D but the A6000 brings a small body factor and mirrorless technology to the forefront. My only real challenge with the A6000 is the non-articulating screen (the screen does not face forward). I created a physical mirror as a hack to self view video (take a look at my channel to see the video). Yes, you can use the Sony app to take stills but the app cannot take video and causes a significant drain on the battery:).

[@prem980]

could u help me decide between Nikon D5600 vs Sony alpha A68?

[@RealWorld]

This is a toss-up ... they both share the same sensor size and both have pros and cons. If given the choice, I would lean towards the D5600:). I actually have the D5600 and will create a video review in the near future. One of the greater benefits to the D5600 over the A68 is the lack of the AA filter. The AA (anti-aliasing) filter tends to make images soft and many photographers like it removed. This is not a huge deal but something to consider in my opinion:).

[@clearevil]

Of the cameras in your video I have the D5500 which is my wonderful and very reliable backup camera. I like your video because I actually did the opposite, I went from having all canon cameras and gear, to my Nikon D4, 5500, etc.. (It was an very expensive brand change) P.S. Yes Nikon has much better image quality overall In my opinion, and I agree with you about the mirror-less future. Thanks for the video

[@RealWorld]

+clearevil -- Thanks for the comment. After having used a handful of different cameras, I still favor the Nikon simply because I am more familiar with all the controls, menus, etc. Nonetheless, Sony has my attention as I continue to put the a6000 through various paces. I am really starting to like this camera although it has a completely different feel compare to traditional DSLRs. I recently picked up the 18-200 OSS e mount lens which is very nice.

[@21lovelydevil]

Hi, which would you recommend for travel photography and videos, nikon d5500 or sony a6000? I don't really mind the weight difference. While travelling, i don't want my friends to be waiting for me for so long while I do my thing. Is it faster to change the settings for pictures and videos back and forth on the d5500? does it have more external settings than the a6000 or are they the same? what do you think? also, I subscribed! 😊

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback and welcome to the channel!:) Both cameras share a similar sized sensor and resolution, but I would lean towards to the D5500:). Some would say the A6000 is a bit smaller, but I find both to be similar after the lenses are added. The D5500 has a much better battery life (820 shots vs 360), does not overheat when shooting relatively long videos (the Sony will overheat when shooting a single clip longer than 10-12 mins), has a nice fully articulating touch screen, and lacks the AA filter (anti-aliasing filter which tends to make images soft).

[@shreyassathish5109]

Which camera is the best to buy sir....Nikon d5500 or canon 750d or canon 700d?...I take pictures of places, sceneries, people, sports and buildings and sometimes take videos too

[@RealWorld]

Hello - I would suggest the Nikon D5500 for various reasons (better battery life, lacks the AA filter, time lapse, cost, etc.):).

[@shreyassathish5109]

Thanks a lot sir...I want to know which has better clarity and which is more user friendly sir?!!!

[@RealWorld]

From a clarity perspective I would give the edge to the Nikon D5500. Nikon removed the AA filter from the D5500 whereas Canon did not in their 750d (same for the 700d). The AA filter is also known as a low pass filter which tends to make images a bit softer. Most photographers prefer a camera without the AA filter ... this is not huge but something worth noting. Regarding user friendly - this is more preference based. You will have a slight learning curve on both, but I do not feel either is too difficult.

[@Joe-cn2ke]

I am looking into the A6000 because from reviews and test videos, it seems like it's best for the price. Is there any camera (DSLR or mirrorless) you recommend that's better than the A6000 around the same price?

[@RealWorld]

Hello and great question!:) I have experienced many cameras over the years and similar to other photographers, I have a few favorites:). Nonetheless, I suspect most if not all cameras have their pitfalls to some degree. If you are relatively new to the APS-C sensor world and want to stay in a given price range, I would strongly consider the a6000. If you are coming from the DSLR world, prepare for change:). I shot with DSLRs for many years and once I got my hands on the a6000, I was not certain what to think. The form factor was different/small; the battery was not nearly as long; the view finder was digital; BUT the camera offered various outstanding features (outstanding burst mode, great focus tracking, focus peaking, lighter compared to heavier DSLRs, etc.). Since Sony has released new versions with questionable modifications, I might suggest finding a used a6000. I am not a big fan of the 16-50mm power zoom lens, so I would search for a used 18-55 manual zoom as well and/or a fixed 50mm (which is a great portrait lens IMO). Hope this info helps!:)

[@RealWorld]

One more quick note ... I believe I used the 18-55 manual zoom in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/homuZmOBibd8abc

[@lastvirus2565]

Nikon d7100 or sony a6000 which one is better for photos???Plz tell me.......

[@RealWorld]

Interesting comparison!:) Comparing mirrorless (a6000) to mirrored (D7100) is an ongoing debate. The a6000 and D7100 share the same sensor size and resolution, however they are fundamentally different. The a6000 is small/compact compared to the D71000 and packs a nice punch regarding features. Nonetheless, the D7100 is a workhorse. If it were me, I would lean towards the D7100, but I do not feel you would go wrong either way ... they both take great picts in my opinion:).

[@doodyaviv]

for the same price, what should i buy? nicon D7000 old, but in good shape or new canon D700?? mostly for youtube video

[@RealWorld]

+doodyaviv -- thanks for the comment/question!:) If you are more focused on video, go for the Canon 70D without question IMO:). I have shot both and really like the feel of the D7000 but Nikon struggles with video specific to auto focus. The 70D can leverage STM lenses which are awesome. STM lenses make auto focus a breeze for the 70D not to mention the touch-screen which is nice. When trying to auto focus with the D7000, the camera hunts for any given auto focus point. I have shot other videos using my D7000, but they were challenging:).

[@selinasel465]

Which camera is the best for street fashion photography ? I take my own pictures with a remote shutter release. D5500 D7200 A6000 A6300 700D 80D

[@RealWorld]

Hi Selina and thank you for the question:). I have taken lots of street photos with my Nikon equipment (d7000) and have also used the Sony a5100 and the a6000 to do the same. If I had to choose from your list, I would go with the a6000 for a few reasons ... 1 - the a6000 is less expensive compared to the a6300 simply because the a6300 is newer (look for a used, refurb, or open box item); 2 - low profile - when taking street photos, I like to maintain a somewhat low profile (street photos are about capturing unscripted moments); 3 - the articulating screen is a nice feature to take low angle shots. The other cameras mentioned are good but a6000 and a6300 are mirorless and in a different class in terms of form factor. One additional note to consider with the a6000 and a6300 is battery life:) ... they burn through batteries relative quick which is not a huge deal IMO (simply carry an extra battery or two just in case:)).

[@dejffjed]

When you speak about cameras and videos I think you should meantion the video quality these cameras can produce. To me 1080 60p is a must have. Unfortunately almost no Canon cameras are able to shoot 60 frames per second.

[@RealWorld]

hello and thx for the comment!:) You make a good point regarding video quality. If you plan to leverage a DSLR for video, consider the video quality. I typically only leverage 60+ fps to high speed or slow motion effects. I know some people that love to use 60 for everything, but the human eye has been conditioned to 24 fps b/c of the film industry dating back many years when actual film was expensive:). 24 fps was deemed the slowest frame rate a human could view and still retain fluid motion (within reason). Fortunately, we do not leverage traditional film and so the reasoning for frame rate has changed. 24 fps is no longer needed to save on cost, it is only needed/used to maintain a cinematic look and feel. At some point generations from now, the standard might be 60 or greater. I have shot 120 and 240 to capture awesome slow motion (water droplets falling, etc.). Nonetheless, thanks for the comment!:)

[@dejffjed]

RealWorld Well, the best way for a amateur filmmaker to make money is to shoot a short clips. Mayit be song videos, sport promos, product selling videos, whatever... Having the option of 60fps slowed down to 25fps comes handy in all these cases. You can gain some extra stabilization as well. You can slow down a video portrait of a footballer just before he kicks the ball or make video look smoother if the camera moves too fast. It just gives you more freedom. What I find totally useless is 4K resolution... When I was to decide what camera to buy I was considering Nikon D7000 first cut my friend offered me his old piece. I don't have much funds so that's why. Then I switched to D3300 (because of 1080 60p), then I made my final decision and bought Nikon D5500 as you can take great photos with it and use it as a film camera. Btw I forgot to say thanks for your review. ;)

[@RealWorld]

good points!:) I have shot vids with my D7000 but it is tough to manage the focus IMO. When shooting w/ the D7000, I use a tripod and fixed focus:). I like shooting video w/ the a6000 or the 70D when I feel like my subjects are moving. Nonetheless, I mainly shoot photos and recently had the opportunity to shoot the 100th running of the Indy 500. I plan to create a video detailing the experience along with showing a bunch of images. Thanks for the comments/feedback - this is how we learn/grow!:)

[@SmartphoneWorld]

which is better for recording videos canon t6i or nikon d5500 or sony a6000

[@RealWorld]

hello thanks for the question!:) If given these choices, I would go with the t6i. I like the d5500 for photos but I feel the auto focus mechanism recording vids hunts too much which can be very frustrating. I like the a6000 as well for both photo and video, but if you plan to record lengthy videos, you may experience overheating issues (I am working on another video to resolve this issue:)). In addition, the a6000 does not have a rotating screen, so if you shoot any vids with self-composition, you might get frustrated by the experience (I did create a mirror hack to help self compose shots). I do not think the t6i is the best for photos, but I feel it would be the best for vids!:). Hope this helps!:)

iam frm india I really love ur videos I'm planning to buy a cam. which is better Canon 750d or $ sony a6000

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the question!:) This is tough since the a6000 is mirrorless. I like them both but know that the feel to each is different. The a6000 is smaller and highly more feature rich in my opinion. Unfortunately, the a6000 tends to overheat when shooting any continuous video for more than 10 mins roughly. In addition, the screen does not fully articulate forward which is a downer for selfies, etc. The 750d is a more tradition DSLR which is fully capable, will not overheat, has a touch screen which fully articulates, etc. If I were you, I might base the final decision on cost ... take the lower price:).

[@darkdrift0r124]

d5500 or a5100? If I'm looking to learn the basics

[@RealWorld]

Both share the same size sensor and have the same resolution, however I would lean towards the D5500. I have shot with both and currently us the a5100 to record videos (the a5100 overheats after about 10 mins of continuous recording (this is a common problem with various Sony cameras). I like the mirrorless concept on the a5100 but I prefer the slightly larger size and dependability of the D5500. The D5500 also has a much better battery life (820 shots vs 400), external mic port, and no AA filter (making for slightly sharper images).

Thanks for this really great video. You've touched the most important aspects I've been comparing - video shooting! Stills is important to me as well, however, as you've said, I'm probably gonna get the same quality photos with all of these cameras. As for video - you've mentioned the A6000 doesn't have the focus hunting effect which makes this $600 camera the best dslr with video shooting abilities that I can get for this price. I'm still thinking about A5100 and the Nikon d3300, however I'm afraid the Nikon won't be as good for videos because of all the focusing limitations (noise + hunting). The canon with STM is way out of my budget ): Thanks again!!

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the comment!:) The Sony a6000 should continue to drop in price as the a6100 takes hold (look used for some great deals). The Nikon d3300 takes great video but the focus hunting is bad IMO. Since there is no hunting with the a6000 nor the STM canon lenses, I would go with either for video. I may soon post a video I took with the Sony a5100 of the Indy 500 qualifications - the camera did a nice job:).

[@chamillakruwan3840]

[@CyanSupernatural]

+RealWorld I have heard that Nikon uses Sony sensors so I can imagine that the a6000 would be amazing as well! The D7000 is amazing especially for the price, I've heard mixed reviews about the d7100 however. Do you know much about the d7100 and do you think it would be worth it to get one over the other?

[@RealWorld]

+CyanSupernatural -- thanks for the comment:). I have heard the same regarding the sensor. If I did not already have the D7000 and were looking for a DSLR, I would consider the D7100. If I were in the same situation and on a relatively tight budget, I would not hesitate on the D7000. I feel they are very similar with a few exceptions (24mp vs 16mp, video frame rate, and more focus points). 24mp will grab a bit more detail although I never really had issues at 16mp (same applies to focus points). Video is interesting though. I am going to create another video discussing frame rates. I have recently created videos at 24, 30, and 60 for testing and there is a noticeable difference in the look and feel:).

I see a sharper image when recording with the D7000 using my fixed 50 @f2 manual focus compared to the a6000 using the Sony fixed 50 @f2 manual focus (also tried w/ auto). The image from the Sony appears to be softer - not necessarily bad, but considerable softer IMO. I am not certain if the results is due to the lens, camera body, settings, etc. I plan to research in more detail soon.
