Which camera (DSLR)? Nikon or Canon?

I don't care about photos at all, only which one is better for video. Should i buy the Nikon D5200, or one of the Canon Rebel series of equal price (Might be t3i or t4i no idea)? Which does better for video, not photo.

I would buy the Canon 60D.

If you are shooting video, don't even consider s DSLR. You want a camcorder.

No, don't buy a DSLR if you are only doing video. Even 1080p FullHD only requires 2.1MegaPixels, so DSLRs are overkill.

The only really good reason to use a DSLR is for the lenses.

You can get just as good video quality out of a Nikon 1, M4/3rds or NEX camera, and have good access to lenses.

However, all of these cameras have one issue - they can only do video from about 10 to 30 minutes before they either overheat or are blocked by political reasons. Due to the tax system, all cameras where still photos are the primary function have to be blocked from doing more than 30 minutes of video.

If you need more, then consider a good camcorder. They still excel for that one single purpose. And since they don't need sophisticated sensors (remember 1080p FullHD only requires a 2.1Mp sensor), they are no more costly than an entry-level DSLR.

Also battery life can be a concern. I can get at least 1 1/2 hours of record time from my Sony CX260 HandyCam on one battery charge. You won't likely be able to do that with any DSLR battery.

1) Sony do better video than either.

2) If you aren't interested in photos, get a video camera.

Are you a troll, or are you Really this stupid?

The above answers are good ones.

The reason for the 4 gb limit on video files is that it is the largest file a FAT32 memory card will hold.

I found this out when I was asked to copy a 7 gb video to a persons USB flash drive. Before I could do it, I had to format ithe flash card in NTSF, then it would take the larger file

I prefer Canon over all but if you search online for previews you will have a ditailed description.

If you only want video, buy a video camera.

When it comes to video, Canon trumps it all, especially with the EOS 70D. The 70D has a dual-pixel AF LiveView system, which makes it EXTREMELY fast in focusing during video/LiveView. It totally trounced my 5D Mk3 when it came to video.

It's even got an articulating multi-touch screen. Just tap on the screen to focus and it can even track moving subject accurately. Pair it with an STM lens and voila.

You also have manual audio monitoring plus a mike jack to plug in a stereo mike.

Note that only the 70D can focus extremely fast in video, because it's the only EOS to have dual-pixel AF.

And when I mean fast, it's as fast as focusing with one of the AF points through the viewfinder.

Why don't you post this in the camcorder section, it can't hurt!

For video, the right tool is the digital camcorder. DSLR's were never meant to do video. For half the price of a cheap dSLR, you can get a similar no-control camcorder that has no problem with focusing and will go on recording for longer times than the very limited dSLR.

If you compare D5200 with Canon T3i or with T4i, then i would suggest you Nikon D5200 because of its advanced and upgraded features which provides high quality video and pictures as well. D5200 has 24 MP whereas T4i has 17.9 MP. Same as D5200 has Native resolution of 6000 x 4000 and T4i has 5184 x 3456. D5200 has battery life of about 550 shorts and T4i has about 400 shorts. D5200 has 24.1 MP with DX-format CMOS Sensor and 3.0 inch (921k) Vari-angle monitor. It also has EXPEED 3 5 fps continuous shooting and 16 scene modes.
