Nikon D3200, Sony a58 or something else for video and sport photography?
Alright so I've had a Sony a33 for the past two and a half years but yesterday it inexplicably and "unrepairably" died. Unfortunately I'm due to leave for Sweden in 2 days and could not fathom going to such a spectacular country without a DSLR. This leaves me with the daunting task of choosing and purchasing a new camera in under 48 hours.
I use my DSLR to shoot everything; landscapes, sports, portraits, video, etc. But as an amateur videographer and sports enthusiast those aspects are the ones I care about the most (video ESPECIALLY). Today I purchased a Sony a58 without planning it just to have a camera but once I returned home with it (haven't unboxed it yet) I started having some doubts wondering if I should have purchased the Nikon D3200, or perhaps something completely different like a Canon T3i.
I have tried doing some research online but have yet to come across reliable information, as I'm seeing many different opinions and contrasting ideas… Your input is welcome and VERY much appreciated.
If you shoot a lot of video, you purchased the best camera for the job at that price point. After having used the A33, any Nikon or Canon would have been a step back. You would have lost focus peaking for manual focusing, fast auto focus when shooting video, smart object tracking and fast face recognition. There's more, but that's just some of what Canon and Nikon don't have at any price or with any model.
