Nikon D5300 VS Canon EOS 700D a new comparison

Canon EOS 700D VS Nikon D5300, Digital SLR camera, new digital camera, Canon EOS 700D, Nikon D5300, sigma, leica, Pentax, Panasonic GH3
A lot of novice photographers are confused when faced with the option to choose the type of digital camera that will be used for the first time. 

The starters are confused when looking at an example of this type of camera is compact-system cameras, prosumer cameras, mirrorless cameras, professional cameras or digital SLR cameras. Many of them are also subject to the influence of competition between Canons versus Nikon, the two biggest names in the world of photography.

Are you also confused?

 If you insist to choose a digital SLR camera, then you can choose the type of entry level. You can buy a full frame camera in the future, when you already have a big budget, so you are not dizzy when you need an extra lens as a telephoto lens, macro, wide angle lenses and other accessories.

Although many prosumer cameras or mirrorless camera that has had a variety of advanced features as the Digital SLR cameras, but still want to try the beginner DSLR cameras and they are stuck in between the major brands, Nikon and Canon. Actually, you can choose other brands such as Pentax cameras, the Sony Alpha DSLR camera or even manufactured by Sigma and Leica.

Why you should choose a Nikon or Canon? 

Well, because Nikon and Canon had a major influence on the novice and professional photographer, so on this occasion we started it compares fairly new camera, the Canon EOS 700D and Nikon D5300.

Nikon D5300 is an upper entry-level DSLR aimed at photographers looking for a step-up from a budget model without the expense, size and complexity of a higher-end model. This camera comes just less than a year after the D5200, but Nikon makes some important upgrades including becoming the first Nikon DSLR with built-in wireless.

Nikon D5300 features bigger sensor plus more resolution compared to Canon EOS 700D. When compared with its predecessor, the D5300 showed similar results in terms of dynamic range and color depth with a slightly increased ISO sensitivity.

Compared toits direct competitors, the Canon EOS 700D and Sony SLT Alpha 58, test results indicate that Nikon D5300 is 1/3 stop better than EOS 700D when it comes to image quality. Nikon D5300 features 24.2 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor, using the same sensor as Nikon D7100 many people said that the image quality of Nikon D7100 is better compared to Canon 700D. The Canon EOS 700D or called Rebel T5i replaces the Canon EOS 650D / T4i, but is almost indistinguishable from it in terms of design, operation and specification.

The image quality and performance of both cameras to be identical and they use the same batteries and accessories as well. Canon 700D produce detailed images with low-noise 18 megapixel sensor, that can be printed at high resolution and cropped without losing quality. You can capture Full-HD movies with creative control and Hybrid CMOS AF that focuses continuously as you shoot, so you can use Canon 700D to create high quality video clip or movie.

Canon EOS 700D key features:

18MP APS-C 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor
14-bit DIGIC 5 processor
Phase detection AF from imaging sensor for Live View and Video
1080p30 video recording with built-in stereo mics
Continuous autofocus in movie mode with subject tracking
ISO 100-12800 standard, 25600 expanded
5 fps continuous shooting
9 point AF system, all sensors cross type, central sensor F2.8 (from 60D)
63 zone iFCL metering
1.04m dot 3:2 touch-sensitive vari-angle ClearView II LCD (capacitive type, multi-touch support)

You will enjoy  Canon EOS 700D features: The 'HDR Backlight' and 'Handheld Night Scene', modes combine multiple exposures to give a final processed image. A four-exposure 'Multi Shot Noise Reduction' setting is also available in the PASM modes.

Nikon D5300 have 39-point autofocus system, with 9 cross-type sensors. Canon 700D comes with 9-point all cross-type AF system (including a high-precision dual cross f/2.8 center point). You can shoot any moment with Canon EOS 700D and you also can explore new shooting angles and control the camera with a 7.7cm Vari-angle Clear View LCD II Touch screen.

The D5300 also offers a beefed-up video mode, which is now capable of true 1080/60p HD video. This, plus the slightly enlarged (3.2in compared to 3in) fully-articulated 1.04 million-dot LCD screen should mean that the D5300 is attractive to videographers as well as stills photographers. Nikon D5300 also equipped with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS - both firsts for Nikon DSLR lineup. You will love the Wi-Fi connectivities because make you easy to share your photos to other device.

Nikon D5300 specifications:

24.1MP DX format CMOS sensor, without OLPF
1.04M dot 3.2" vari-angle LCD monitor
EXPEED 4 processing
ISO 100-12800 standard, up to 25600 expanded
5 fps continuous shooting
39 point AF system, 9 sensors cross type
2016 pixel RGB metering sensor
1080p60 video recording, built-in stereo mic

The Nikon D5300 is rather smaller than the Canon EOS 700D/T5i (the larger kit zoom mounted on the Nikon in this shot makes that a little hard to appreciate) but has a slightly more substantial hand-grip which contributes greatly to its feeling of solidity in the hand.

Generally,  Nikon D5300 makes fantastic quality images and weighs almost nothing, so it's a pleasure to carry it everywhere. Compared to the pro cameras I often haul, the D5300 feels as if it's hollow, which is a very good thing. Canon EOS 700D also can create great pictures and easy to carry anywhere such as for holiday in Bali and other unforgetable moment such as wedding party, family reunion, birthday party, adventure and other social or business activities. Before you make an important decision, don’t forget to compare these sophisticated cameras with other brand such as Sony Alpha, Pentax K-3 or Panasonic GH-3.

Fuji X-Pro1 camera


If we are surfing the Internet to find information about digital cameras in Yahoo or Google search engine, then we will be typing Canon or Nikon, maybe Sony, but there are other cameras such as Pentax, Panasonic, Olympus, Sigma and Kodak. This time I would like to invite you to look at other alternatives, namely Fuji camera manufactured by Fuji Film. We know the Fuji as a filmmaker like Kodak, Fuji, but also a camera and lens maker expert. Fujifilm performed with retro camera, the Fuji X-Pro1.

Fuji X-Pro1 is claimed to have the sharpness and image quality is fantastic. The camera also comes with another sensor design of most cameras. DP Review gave the camera a rating of 79%. This camera has a fantastic performa’s with ISO up to ISO 6400. The main drawback of this camera is the camera's autofocus system as it is quite slow (for those who are familiar with the DSLR class), and perhaps the availability of lenses and parts. But the X-Pro1 is equipped with an optical viewfinder and exposure controls that give feel like a Leica rangefinder.

Fuji X-Pro1 has presented the main features for professional photographers, such as:
• Three lens XF: R XF 18mm F2, 35mm F1.4 R XF 60mm F2.4 R Macro
• Camera with a resolution of 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor
• EXR Processor Pro image processor
• 3.0 inch RGBW 1.23M dot LCD
• Focal-plane shutter, speed 1/4000 sec
• 1/3 stop increments prime lenses
• Dual-magnification hybrid optical / electronic viewfinder

Fujifilm X-Pro1 hybrid viewfinder that has the ability to retro-modern design and at CES 2012 received the "CNET Best of CES 2012" in the category of camera.

According to CNet editors, Fujifilm surpass its reputation as a quality camera company with its first mirrorless models, the X-Pro1. By combining several innovations, hybrid viewfinder which is embedded in a sleek retro design.

 Fujifilm X-Pro 1 claimed to be able to compete with professional full frame camera. This claim is quite reasonable because the X-Pro1 has a CMOS sensor APS-C X-Trans 16 megapixel, wherein the sensor is about the same or equivalent amount DLSR cameras, and has photographed the results and incredible sharpness. Fujifilm X-Pro A1 has 3 types of hybrid-style lenses Fujinon lens, which is where the three are not fixed zoom lens, which XF18mmF2 R (27mm equivalent f/2.0), XF35mmF1.4 R (53mm equivalent f/1.4), and XF60mmF2. 4 R Macro (90mm equivalent f/2.4).

The use of APS-C sized sensor on Fuji X-Pro1 somewhat surprising and instantly became a competitor Sony NEX and Samsung NX. On paper Fuji X-Pro1 can outperform incumbents such as Micro Four Thirds camp a smaller sensor. The second interesting factor is the design and quality of the X-Pro1 body very classic yet modern. Another interesting factor is the existence of a hybrid viewfinder that can switch from the optical viewfinder to the electronic viewfinder simply by sliding the lever on the front. Own optical viewfinder has 90% coverage, and if you want to get 100% coverage then move it to the sharp electronic viewfinder with 1.44 million dots.

The camera is shown to produce sharp images, natural, and can minimize the results of moiré effect that often happens when we are aiming pattern, and is also capable of producing quality images even in low-light room. Because in addition to the advanced camera features, this camera is also uses EXR processor as the power system performance.
