Canon T5 vs Nikon D3300?

Hi I'm looking to buy a DSLR and its my first one so it doesn't have to be too professional. I want the Nikon D3300 or Canon T5. I did my research and found that the Nikon one had better reviews and was better than the Canon one. I want to use the DSLR for pictures and for filming youtube videos. Just simple videos where you sit and talk. Will the Nikon D3300 be better for vidoes and photos than the Canon T5?

I think I answered this question earlier today.

Since any video you intend to shoot will only use 2.1 mp of what is on the cameras sensor (Full HD), it really does not matter which camera you use.

However, the sensor performance could be a factor, so comparing the sensor performance of each camera my be important.

What you do not know, apparently, is that digital SLR cameras can't just be turned on to shoot interviews or such takes that will last longer than about 17 minutes. Why? Two reasons: * there's a limit to the size of the video image file can be (4 gb) and * at some point, the cameras sensor will start to overheat, causing the camera to shutdown.

It is for that reason, that the camera for what want to do is is actually a camcorder

I had the same thing! I was looking at a Canon t3 or t5 VS some Nikon VS a Sony A57.
Ultimately I went for the A57 as it was mirror-less camera and I liked its price and ISO settings.

The Canon rebel series isn't for serious photographers. While they are very good, they don't have anywhere near the features of a professional DSLR. They are made for normal people who want good photos.

Take a look at the Sony A57. I'm pretty happy with it.

They're basically the same. You can use any for your own purpose. Looking at pictures and videos done by others is useless. There's no guarantee you will get the same results. Picture and video quality depends on user skill.

They're about the same. The main differences is going to be how each feels in your hand and how they operate.

Here's a side-by-side comparison of the two with the Pentax K50 thrown in to show that the best are not always built by only Canon and Nikon. http://www.dpreview.com/...pentax_k50
