Nikon D5300 VS Canon EOS 700D a new comparison
![]() |
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.
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

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.

Pentax Q
Another fantastic news for small camera lovers. Pentax Q is very small. Pentax is the latest big-name company to throw its hat into the mirrorless ring with the Pentax Q, a 12-megapixel camera that's smaller and lighter than anything we've seen thus far in the interchangeable-lens category.
Pentax produces a small-sensor digital camera with interchangeable lenses, a first for the digital camera industry. It's early to tell, but we think the Pentax Q could give both the enthusiast digital cameras like the G12 and the compact system cameras a run for their money, provided it's not too small for the average user.
This new camera uses a new Q-mount lens system and will ship as a kit with a 47mm/F1.9 prime lens. Along with the Q, Pentax also announced four separately-sold Q-mount lenses.
Although this is the first compact interchangeable-lens digital camera in Pentax's lineup, the company has a storied history in the realm of miniaturized swappable-lens cameras.
The Pentax Q's physical dimensions are significantly smaller than the two most-compact interchangeable-lens cameras we've seen before the Q was announced today. At just 1.2 inches deep, 3.9 inches wide, and 2.3 inches tall, the Pentax Q is tinier in every dimension than the Sony Alpha NEX-C3 (1.31 by 4.38 by 2.38 inches) and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 (1.28 by 4.24 by 2.64 inches). It's much lighter, too, clocking in at 7.1 ounces with a battery and storage card inserted, compared with the Alpha NEX-C3's 10-ounce weight and the Lumix GF3's 9.31-ounce weight with the same insertions.
More-creative options include an automated exposure-bracketing HDR (high dynamic range) mode and in-camera modes that apply color filters, fish-eye and toy-camera effects, and color-isolation features to shots as you're taking them, as well as post-shot effects that include a tilt-shift lens simulator and a watercolor effect. Full manual controls, aperture- and shutter-priority modes, and an array of automated scene modes are also in the mix.
In its Continuous Hi-speed burst shooting mode, the Pentax Q can capture images at a swift five frames per second, although burst depth is limited to just five JPEG frames. By switching to the Continuous Lo drive mode, the burst speed falls to 1.5 frames per second, but the buffer depth can be extended to a much more useful 100 JPEG frames.
In terms of features, the Q is pretty typical for any modern camera. There are Smart Effects, the usual assortment of shooting effects plus the more unusual Cross Process option; you can combine them. It also offers a time-lapse shooting mode, which I'm surprised more cameras don't offer, and customizable presets. There are a couple of unique aspects to the design, including a clever flash that pops way up to decrease the occurrence of red eye. A dial on the front of the camera can be used to change settings contextually; I'll reserve judgment on that, because it seems an odd choice.
According to the press release, "the Q carves out an entirely new camera category that extends beyond traditional digital compact, APS-C or 4/3 digital cameras." This is a bit disingenuous; the Q isn't so much smaller than models like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 or Sony NEX series that it's in a category all by itself. All of them are jacket-pocket-friendly equipped with a pancake prime lens, but none of them are with a standard zoom.
The Q's body is roughly the size of the Canon PowerShot S95, but as with all ILCs, the lens can't retract into the body and so, unless you have TARDIS pockets, there will always be an issue. It is lighter, though, and like Panasonic and Olympus, the lenses are much lighter than Sony's E-mount offerings.
The choice is yours.

Canon Camera released the EOS-1D X to answer the needs of photography professionals are increasingly challenged and improved. This camera is a dream for lovers of photography in the world, both professional photographers and serious amateur photographers who pursue photography as a hobby. The technology used in the Canon EOS-1D X is an evolution of previous professional DSLR EOS technologies like the EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D Mark IV. As the joint and increased sophistication of the features of its predecessor in the professional class, carrying the EOS-1D X 18.1-megapixel CMOS sensor measuring 35mm full-frame high-speed image capture up to 14 frames per second (fps), with dual DIGIC processor so that 5 + the photos in a very high ISO noise was minimal.
The results are amazing photos Sensor EOS-1D X has a high signal-to-noise (S / N) special with pixel size of 6.95 μm pitch width. Pixel size and a larger sensor further enhance the light collection efficiency so that the image obtained by a more perfect and the noise is also lower. Thanks to advanced sensors and processors, the clarity of the images from the EOS-1D X at ISO 51 200 is comparable to the images at ISO 12,800 on the EOS-1D Mark IV so the EOS-1D ISO setting X can be increased up to ISO 204 800. With high ISO users can increase the shutter speed to reduce camera shake when shooting at, especially in low light conditions and is not possible to use flash. Another feature of the Canon EOS-1D X is a function of Real-Time Correction of chromatic aberration, the processing of RAW images directly in the camera, lens distortion correction (in RAW processing functions).
AE / AF System of Innovative System
Auto Focus (AF) on the EOS-1D X has a High Density 61titik reticular AF with 41 cross-type points. Cameras AF system offers a broad range of auto-focus, high precision, and ability to capture the sophisticated subject. Canon EOS-1D X using the AF sensor with 41 cross-type point sensitive to f/4.0 aperture so that users are now using the lens maximum aperture f/4.0 AF can enjoy the optimal speed. Every moment is critical and any movement will not be missed. High Speed Performance Unprecedented With the shutter-release lag is so short just 36 milliseconds, the Canon EOS-1D X responds quickly to keep up a photographer sports or fast action.
A new feature in the EOS-1D X is an Active Mirror Stopper Quad, which is equipped with a double bounce lock and balance so as to reduce bounce mirror directly. With this system, the camera is more stable and accurate in shooting high drive so that photographers will never miss a quick moment.
EOS Prima Movie Video
Recording quality is of very high with low noise and cinematic effect of the Canon EOS cameras that are well known and became a hot topic in the world of videography appear more reliable in the EOS-1D X. With Dual DIGIC processor 5 + and a new CMOS sensor systems, color and moiré distortion appearing in scenes with fine horizontal lines is reduced drastically. Video recording with high ISO was freer from noise. Users can also select the compression method IPB is capable of recording much longer with a smaller file size and optimal quality. Even so special to meet the needs of professionals in taking and video synchronization, video file sizes in excess of 4GB (the maximum size for FAT file systems) are automatically split but the new file is created automatically and immediately continues recording without interruption.
Improved Reliability and Durability
EOS-1D X using the unit shutter (shutter) version that has the durability to 400,000 times the shots. And the new EOS-1D series at first used this camera electronic shutter curtain for a quieter operation when using live view function. With order unit of material solid magnesium strong alloy, EOS-1D X is very tough and reliable in any shooting conditions. Ultrasonic waves Wave Motion Cleaning (UWMC effectively remove small particles from the sensor interrupt. Canon EOS-1D X is a professional camera that can meet the needs of photographers who require high-speed full frame camera with high ISO capability with low noise. Canon EOS-1D X is also the world's fastest digital SLR camera sets a new standard of excellence DSLR camera technology is increasingly leaving its competitors.
