Good Nikon/Canon camera?

I want a camera because I want to take photography/video as a quite serious hobby (not too serious). I need a camera has a quite good video/audio/picture taking quality.So what would you recommend for a Nikon or Canon camera can I get for 200-300$ thank you so much! Xx

I would recommend the entry-level DSLRs.

Here are my personal favorites:

Canon t2i: 66.0 for image quality and up to 1080p for video (Full HD video - Movie like )
Canon T3: 62.0 for image quality and up to 720p for video (HD video)
Nikon d90: 73.0 for image quality and up to 720p for video (HD video)
Nikon d3200: 81.0 for image quality (Full HD video - Movie like )

You can find them at a decent price on eBay and it is international so no worries. Be sure to choose "Show lowest price first" so that you don't need to scroll down every page!

If you start to really like photography and want to continue to become a photographer, I would suggest upgrading to the Canon 7d or Canon 5d Mark II once you get hold of things and start making money.

Also check out this website: http://www.snapsort.com/...apsort.com and write down the camera you want to see the whole review, comments, characteristics etc!

And now you know why I call them, 'The Idiots' Two.'

At that price, you'll have problems with audio unless you go for a dedicated video camera.

If you insist on a stills camera, Fujifilm are better than either.

If you are a balanced user between video and still photography, canon is a better choice.
i prefer still photography and i like nikon for its natural colour in still photography.
