..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
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.
Nikon and Canon both have excellent lenses, but the entry-level-lenses that canon produces have a better technology in terms of quiet focusing. The canon bodys are really easy to use, especially the touchscreen makes it easy to focus dirng liveview without the pumping, that older DSLRs had.
If you are on videography I would definetly prefer the 70D, it could become even better if a new Magic Lantern is released.
I never tried any other car, but I'm sure it must be good.
More than 20% better image quality
24 MP vs 20 MP
2.1 f-stops more dynamic range
Distinguishes 1.7 more bits of color
and most important thing Lower noise at high ISO 1,256 ISO vs Canons' 926 ISO
how such VALUES can compare with touch flip-out screen???
sorry Canon you lost this battle ;)
But as they say different camera's suit different purposes.
Pixel peeping is one of those things manufacturers like us to do so we want to upgrade more often than we need to. Camera's are pretty damn good now ... well done Nikon & Canon plus others. :)
On Dpreview the Canon 70d & Nikon D7100 looks pretty much the same ... Canon 70d looks slightly sharper on occasions.
Though the Nikons higher pixel count, dynamic range, colour depth should resolve that to have the slight edge after quality editing.
Canon should focus better in theory ... but really they both focus so well you would hardly tell the difference unless maybe in extreme low light. Video focussing canon will be better.
Its a compliment to both top makers that they are bringing out such quality. I can't wait for the further improvements to low light performance.... what more can they both really improve much on now hehe... price?
Nikon has a slightly bigger sensor which should produce less noise/higher detail in theory ... Go to dpreview & have a look for yourself ... I cannot see any difference in the Nikon or Canon. If anything the Canon looks slightly sharper. This says a lot considering the sensor size & rated image pixels.
Finished, edited image should be slightly more forgiving on Nikon because of the higher pixel count & slightly higher dynamic range/colour depth.
99% of people will not notice any difference between the two camera's in image quality terms which would then give a strong edge to the Canon on features.
DX is only nikon ... refers to the crop sensor & matched lens.
Canon calls it APS-C for sensor & EF - S for lens ..
