Pros and Cons of Canon 600D and Nikon D5200?

Click For Summary The discussion centers on choosing between the Canon 600D (T3i) and the Nikon D5200 for video production. The Canon 600D is praised for its proven track record in creating impressive short films, while the Nikon D5200 is recognized for its excellent image quality and competitive features within its price range. Users note that Canon DSLRs offer a wider selection of lenses, which can be advantageous for video versatility. However, if a user is satisfied with Nikon's lens options, they may not miss out on significant features offered by the 600D. The importance of reviewing raw video samples from both cameras is emphasized for making an informed decision, as personal experiences with video quality can vary. tarekatpf Messages 140 Reaction score 1 Can somebody please suggest me which DSLR camera I should buy for video: Canon 600D ( T3i ) or Nikon D5200? I have seen lots of fantastic short films made with Canon 600D ( and Canon 60D which has basically the same sensor ), whereas only very few shot with Nikon D5200, but yet I find so many reviews that say the Nikon D5200 is an extraordinary camera in its price range, and even comparable to Canon's 5D Mark III. I do like Nikon's image quality better, but is there something I'm missing about the 600D? I'm aware that Canon DSLR's have the ability to fit with a huge range of lenses, whereas Nikon is restricted to its own and relatively only a handful of lenses. But if I'm happy with Nikon's lenses, would I still be missing something that could be useful in making videos with a 600D which is not possible with the D5200?

Greg Bernhardt Admin Insights Author Messages 19,824 Reaction score 10,830 To start off your research here are two good reviews of both Canon 600D http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos600d Nikon D5200 http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d5200 Borek Mentor Messages 29,154 Reaction score 4,598 Try to put your hands on raw samples shot with both cameras. As much as I love my EOS 7D I was rather disappointed with the video quality (good, but not for 1080p, I suppose you can get the same quality from a decent 720p camera). I am not saying to expect the same kind of problems - just checking raw samples should give the best possible comparison.
