Shutter lag for the D7100 is incorrect. This reference states 55ms: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/nikon-d7100/nikon-d7100A6.HTM. 251ms is the lag doing full focus w/18-105mm lens.
Canon 70D price is $999 not $199.

Since the 70D and the STM-Lenses, autofocus is as good as focusing manually. It doesn't make any noise and focuses way more exact than a normal person can focus. And with the adjusting of the focus speed you can get cinema-like effects without having to buy expensive equipment. I only focused manually with my old lenses, as the focus was bad (pumping) and the noise distracted the microphone, but since those new two technologies this has gone completely obsolete.
I couldn't imagine, that the camera was so perfectly quiet and it really blew my mind when I tried it the first time!

I have a 70d so I may be biased. If u want to shoot both pic and video go for Canon. If u care more about just pics, take nikon. I got canon coz I alredy have much canon stuff (lenses, flash lamp etc)

Go back to the drawing board?? While incorporating a trend-setter (better technology for autofocus), Canon has already gone to the drawing board! Both these Canon & Nikon models are equally good. But ultimately, the marketing approach by a Company (e.g., availability at the sales counters, technical support, price of the lenses etc) that decides the sales & profitability! Both models started with (almost) same price. But today, Nikon is costlier by USD 100-150.

Except on wedding where you might need high ISO, The Canon 70D is the best general purpose camera (outdoor and all). The D7100 if you shoot in low-light like weddings (indoor lightings not good enough).

If its and overall camera and value for money go for Canon 70D. Or rather, go for Nikon D7100, if you want more dynamic range in your photos(nature) , if your always zooming about 400%(which most people don't need and you need high ISO (which most people probably won't shoot). For everything else, go for the Canon EOS 70D.

I was screaming while reading your post. Were you yelling while typing it or did your cap lock key get stuck? So the review states 86 vs 85 points and they call it a tie. They should've read your post before the assessment. ;)

Nikon D7100 best photos and Canon best video but on my opinion Nikon D7100 The best .

On the basis of image quality alone the Nikon appears to win. But overall the Canon seems to be the better platform in this price range. The 7100 has better low light focus with the assist light but the Canon performs better at ISO over 6400. The HDR on the 7100 appears hands down superior to that of the 70D and, as always, Nikon renders superior whites, while Canon has warmer, more true to the eye color capture. As far as ease of use the 70D trumps the 7100, as it does in the area of continuous shooting in both JPEG and RAW modes. Side by side I don't think many could discern the difference in image quality between the two platforms, looking beyond that, ease of use, Wi-Fi, usable images at high ISO, buffer performance and usable images in continuous shooting setting the Canon is overall a better dollar for dollar.

Autofocus is meaningless for videographers. For family use, you might as well have a poorer autofocus, no one really cares. The difference is in Canon having Magic Lantern and (according to most people) better ergonomics. But whether someone installs ML or finds the ergonomics better in Canon is completely subjective.

Canon 70d vs. Nikon D7100 .....Hi there reader....I'll just give my opinion in a short term and less technical :)
..realistic comparison 70d has a better advantage in video recording..
on the "still" side they're both amazing... p.s. canon has a better grip..

my choice? 70D but I am not buying no $1,600 cropped sensor bullshit plus13% tax!!!!! hmmmm for $300 more I could get a full frame... Canon is always over priced and can kiss my ass, in my opinion. lol

"Canon 6d is better than nikon for low noise"
Which Nikon? There is more than one, you know :)

The equivalent Nikon would be D600. And NO(!), D600 has better low noise at high ISO (2,980 ISO vs 2,340 ISO). Just fixing inaccuracies ...

As to Canon going in the wrong direction ... I would not say so. They are going in a different direction, though. With 70D (vs D7100), it seams, they placed an accent on video. And if video was important for me and I was free to move between brands I would go with Canon. With 6D (vs D600) they placed an accent on built in features such as WiFi and GPS. Both companies produce superb products. One or the other can be considered a winner depending on what is important to you.
