Nikon D5600 vs Canon T7i (800d): Which is the BEST Camera to Buy 

Why is LMFAO doing camera reviews?

I just bought the Nikon D5600. And it takes such awesome pictures that it has shocked me. I got mine with 2 lens and I am totally pleased with it.

I'll go with the Nikon for my mountain biking videos because it won the wind tunnel test.

I own the 800D and I absolutely love it. The grip is very comfortable to hold for hours on end, but where the viewfinder sits above my eye can get a bit sore

At $699, the Canon T7i has most of the features of the recently announced $2000 Canon 6Dmk2, but at a much much cheaper price. In terms of features to price ratio, the Canon T7i might be the best bang for the buck in the DSLR market right now. Sure there are many better cameras, but the T7i is a great value with very good picture quality. I am pleased with mine so far.

I’m gonna save everyone some time here and just say that if you want a DSLR primarily for videography, go the Canon route. If you want to have a DSLR for primarily photography, go Nikon. Simple as that. I’m exhausted seeing the beef between the fanbases. Both companies excel at their own things. One just happens to be better at photos, and the other at video.

No AA filter on Nikon. Has Bluetooth not just wifi. Dynamic range better. Focus tracking better. Surprised you ignored this.

I just bought Canon Rebel T7i! 😍

I looked at both, and ended up with the Nikon. The time lapse feature made a big difference. You can do that in both stills and movie. Plus, I am a bit biased towards Nikon in general. (I have an F5, an F2, and a couple of Nikkomats that I shot with film for many years!) To me, it is a better photo representation. I do shoot more video these days ( I tend towards Lumix and Black for those), and am still figuring that out as I go along, but the Nikkor lenses and image quality can't be beat IMHO! Again, it just seems like your preference.

Nikon D5600 Without Optical Low Pass Filter And Canon 800D With Optical low pass filter Nikon Rock bro

This is my first dSLR and justu.faith/NikonD56 I have been very pleased with it. Feels well made, and often takes nice pictures in spite of myself.

The ISO range is just a stupid parameter to compare cameras. Any picture taken at 25600 ISO will be useless

That sniff test took me out 🤣😭

Resume Nikon for picture and Canon for video. You decide!!😂😂

Was going for the 800D, then thought about the 80D, finally, I ordered the FUJI XT2.

I chose Nikon.. because my skin tone looks better with the NIkon.. I look more handsome so does my subjects!! The people/subjects..women look ore beautiful and men better looking.. and I do portrait photography! :)

A sensor dynamic range and noise comparison would have settled the debate between these two cameras.

I love my Nikon but here lately Canon has started to impress me with their updated technology. If I was to pick one of these the T7i would be my choice.

Recently I bought the Canon T7i and it's awesome 😎📸

I AM A CANON GUY N WANTED TO GIVE NIKON A CHANCE BUT I HAVE TO DO MORE RESEARCH N THANK YOU FOR UR TIME, I REALLY APPRECIATED...

i prefer the canon, but this seems really biased 3 points for the autofocus, and a point for how it smells?

Interesting video, and entertaining! I recently purchased the Nikon D5600, why?, I bought a Nikon because my other DSLR is a Nikon (D3300), very identical spec's between the two cameras. The reason I stuck with Nikon (over Canon) is because EVERYTHING is swappable between my two cameras (D3300 & D5600), it makes more financial sense to 'Keep it in the family', than buying a different brand camera and having to invest in new accessories/lenses/etc...

I used Pentax Kx, Canon 650D, now Nikon d5300 and waiting for Nikon D6000. If you are into videos please go for Canon. Only still photography Nikon which has excellent battery life. Cheers.

As it showed in the video in year 2017 canon T7i(800d) is almost the same price of Nikon D5600. But in year 2020, the pricing is different. In China I just ordered a Canon 800D hours ago which is 20% more expensive than Nikon D5600. I need to shot more videos and the market tells us that 3 years later Canon 800D takes the lead. Second-handed Nikon D5600 owners say that Nikon D5600 is laggy which is a main reason why I choose Canon 800D to start my amatur career. :D 4k video sets (optical) are still very expensive while not everyone can watch 4K videos so easily. My iPhone 8 can shot 4k footage but I care more about the ISO lens thingy, especially for opitical cameras. Years ago I owned a go pro hero 5 which was stunning but nowadays the latest Go Pro Hero 8 is at the same price of Canon 800D, there is not reason for me to get this action camera if I don't dive (I did sometimes) or just shot videos everyday on earth. LOL. If I want to sell this Canon 800D years later, I won't lose more than the pricing decreasing of Go Pro series. That's the reason why I choose Canon 800D.

I would like just mention the buffer capacity. On nikon D5600 by my suggestion it's only about 256 MB. With SD card Writing speed about 40MB/s ,I can only take 7 RAW pics before the buffer fills up and camera slows down. I highly recommend to use the fastest possible UHC I card with NIKON D5600 . Then your buffer freed up quickly. BTW I prefer nikon anyway 😁

Thanks. You helped me make up my mind between these cameras. I'm planning on a lot of video making. So it's the Canon for me.

He's close to breaking 1 Million!!!!!

I already own several Nikon lenses so it probably would be silly for me to switch to Canon now, but from my experience it has always seemed to me that Canon cameras produced more beautiful color. Nikon color always seems subdued to me, unless you start tweaking it with software. Canon color is delicious right out of the camera, even on my little G10.

I Bought the Canon a week back :) !!!

I find the D5600 the more enjoyable of the two cameras to shoot stills with due to its ergonomics and lighter weight. I think the control dial is in a much better spot on the Nikon.

One item I never see on reviews is remote shutter release. The D5600 does not support it , but the D5500 does which is also a cheaper camera by about $100.00 for the body. Both cameras are very close in specs, but no remote shutter release is a deal stopper for me.

Nikon all the way, also I wouldn't judge a dslr on video capabilities, for it is for stills, and that's what video cameras are for. My vote is neither of these really, but a good refurbished d7200 rocks all the way, weather proofed, more manual controls, more solid, and more professional all the way around.

canon is better for almost everything but image quality color dept dynamig range and lowlight Nikon wins

I came to this video because I'm buying my first DSLR.

I got the Canon T7i for Mother’s Day and I absolutely love it. I used a Nikon Coolpix B500 before that so I am still getting used to all the things this Canon does and so far it’s great.

In short, if this price range is your budget, go canon if you were buying your first camera, or don't have desire to buy lenses in the future. Buy Nikon only if you already have some Nikon lens collection.

Having played with both systems over the last year as a n00b. I would certainly recommend the Canon system over the Nikon if they never plan on upgrading. I found the Canon system MUCH easier to use even though I started on the Nikon. That being said... for those of use who are going to be upgrading... I wish I would have kept my Nikon stuff. For the simple fact that I could buy a D810/D850 at the moment and ease the cost of getting into the full frame world means a lot. They have a built in mode for recognizing APS-C/DX lenses which means I'm not having to shell out a kidney for a single lens when I decide to go full frame. I could buy a 5D mark iii right now and have no lenses that would fit it, where as if I bought a Nikon D5600 and a couple of lenses (80-200 2.8 for $500 being one of them) I could slap that bad boy on a D810 without having to shell out another body part. Just something to keep in mind And Canon's wifi app is deplorable... link to the camera and the camera becomes dummy glass (with the app lacking a LOT of features). I honestly don't give a crap about wifi in a camera unless I can burst RAW files to my storage location reliably.

Canon is being very smart here. If they can attract more customers to their introductory cameras then they can get them hooked in their system

What would be people's recommendation - my last DSLR which I bought years ago and loved but haven't used for a long time was a Nikon D70s. Great way to learn basics. Anyway... my interests have returned to photography and increasingly videography. I've started a new business as a car broker (essentially) and I want to do some car reviews to add to my site and social media presence. For in car stuff I will most likely get a GoPro Hero 5, at least for mounting to windscreen anyway. However for external shots and taking proper photos I want to use a DSLR. Due to my history with Nikon so I am leaning that way. I also generally like the colour and clarity of Nikon more. I have a very tight budget for all this however, and don't really want to spend more than AU$1500 on the DLSR. As far as I can find, the D5600 is significantly cheaper than the 800d. I'm not convinced the AF would really make that much difference to the type of videos I want to make. To be honest, mostly I tend to think the D3400 would be fine, but I don't like the lack of mic input. Any advice would be very much welcome!

Nikon for Photography Canon for Videographer

So I'm looking at my first DSLR. I highly prefer the Canon T7i and 77D compared to Nikon D5600. In fact, I thought that the Canon having a guide mode was great, as well as I thought a better UI for shooting. And comparable Canon lenses are cheaper to Nikon's offerings. But one thing is making me greatly consider the Nikon... glass. Specifically, one piece of glass. The 35mm f/1.8G. I can't find a comparable good low-light lens by Canon for close to the price of the Nikon ($200). If anyone has a suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

That wind tunnel test is a must for choosing cameras. Wish they test it in all the cameras.

The distinction and call is easy. Stay where you're comfortable. They're both good cameras that will give you solid performance. Neither has anything that should make you contemplate shifting brands and giving up the familiarity that comes with that. So, if you're a Nikon guy, this is a solid choice. If Canon does it for you, you won't be disappointed. Stay with the one that brought you this far (and take a hard look at Sony when you get ready to step up from this one).

I have the cannon T7i as my first real major purchase. Coming from a cool pix small hand held and my iPhone. I have LR and PS to learn how to edit. I got lucky and will say I am going to buy one more lense to round out the set I bought. For every day shooting I don't see a issue with the F4 lenses. But want faster lenses to see what I am missing. I follow Jared and have learned much. Once I get comfy with the LR I may buy into his edits. No matter which camera you have, they both are good starters and you will be happy with either one unless you have full sensor camera. I want to expand out to night photography. From what I see these are ok to start out with, but your gonna want a full sensor camera.

My Canon X7i arrived 2 days before l watched this video.l appear to have made the right choice.Cheers dude...

Nikon...all day...every day...twice on Sundays.

I bought the CANON t7i. super happy with it.

the canon wins big time for me, mainly because of the dual pixel af.

I wanted honestly the nikon but people said that its more focused for photos so that was kinda a deal breaker

Just get a Nikon D810 full frame its my favorite camera.

for stills, I say neither. Get a used d7100 for 500 dollars. Dual slots, weather sealed, in-body focus motor for D lenses, metal construction, more buttons and dials than entry level cameras, need I say more?

I'm thinking about getting into the photography world right now and most likely will by next month. I've had my eye on the t7i for a while but didn't know all the specs till now and mostly because it's the model they always have to try out at Best Buy and Walmart. That being said... I've heard Nikon is far superior in quality than any Cannon from my photographer friend. I'm looking to mostly shoot stills of nature or astrology but also very interested in the video quality I want to be able to take awesome crisp video... I know I'm not in the price range of a 4k camera like the D7500 or the Z7 ii ( which seem awesome!!!) this video really helped out I still cant decide though.. Agggggh!

Actually ordered a canon 800d today, looking forward to sitting down with your 800d user's guide in a few days once it arrives and getting my new baby set up :)

Ordered my t7i I'm waiting patiently :)

The wind tunnel and sniff test nearly took me out😂😂 well I was buying the t7i (800D) before watching this video. This only sealed the deal🙂

I'm going for the canon. Had a nikon d60, (shutter broke and can't be fixed), and 5300 and broke too. Plus on both cameras the long lens went on them and I baby my cameras. Nope done with Nikon.

Thanks so much for the review. My only question is which is better for beginners?

I disagree with your assessment of the "buffer capacity" ... Canon thought it was important enough to write and put in their specs; Nikon decided it wasn't important enough to even write it down. That in itself says something ... Do all Nikon's not state the buffer size ? Just because Canon cared enough to include the spec, and Nikon didn't- then the check mark should be decidedly on the Canon side..

which camera i should buy please help me. either Nikon D3500 or Nikon D5600? reply as soon as possible

Canon for flexibility you can do videography and photography no hassle but if you’re focus on photography go with Nikon. Canon is the best choice for Travel,Photoshoot,vlogging,youtube videos etc. 💯

I am not sure if I want to trust this guy.

In many RU-vid videos Nikon D5600 vs Canon T7i reviewers say overall better camera is the T7i, but almost always say you'll get sharper images with the D5600... Please, anyone comment or explain!

I’ve never really had a real camera before but I just ordered a t7i hope I can figure it out so I can have some great pictures

the only thing holding the D5600 back is Snapbridge

Q: since I have the Nikon 5600 and I look to pursue vloging, which I worked hard and saved super hard to buy my camera. How can I improve my video quality or WHATEVER with what I already have? Maybe later I can invest in Canon... HEEELLLP Frokno

Get a Nikon D5300 or a Canon D700 those are best value for money. These new "upgraded" cameras are not worth the added price tag. And trust me an additional frame per second or a surreal ISO range doesnt matter at all. Spend the extra money on good glass.

Both great cameras , there's really not much in them to be concerned about. It's so small a difference . Spec wise the canon takes it. But remember it's the person.behind the camera that makes a great shot , spend more time on that and either camera is great. I used Nikon before and moved to canon ! Why because it's so much easier to use and navigate functions , Nikon frustrated me often . So adding that I am able to get way better work load from the canon faster .

WTF is this? Judging cameras on the basis of specs? Are you kidding me? I thought you did reveiws.

At this point in the game all cameras have Awsome capabilities I shoot canon for the AF and the color science but nikons and Sony still kicks butt

Which is better ???

which one should i go for , for making videos on my youtube channel?

I got a Nikon d5600 just two months ago .. my first ever DSLR ... suddenly youtube throws this in suggestion ... and should I doubt my buy ?? Till now all I have done is stills, but for summer I do have plans about video blogs .. I hope they do come out well.

i like my d5500 very much its a little bit oberpriced but i had so much lenses for the nikon f mount and i didnt want to sell them it was right to get the d5500 because i am highly satisfied with it.

If camera can't focus and be used practically, for live view shooting(PHOTO as well as video) then it's a deal breaker - mirror-less is the future. In saying that - Canons dual pixel...WOW! Their latest Canon 200d(entry level)...WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, Dual pixel (no 4k yet) but still. I like to see real time exposure, viewing the histogram, etc ALL in live view...I don't want to have to squint to look through a viewfinder and an optical one at that plus that's why the tilt screen. Pros love the touch screen, I can remember them saying you don't really need that...times change. The cameras a tool and the more features it has the better the tool it becomes. Tony Northrup - he now loves the Sony a9(I can remember when he wasn't that keen on mirror-less), Jason Lanier etc etc. Hopefully what Sony and other mirror-less are doing forces the DSLRs to evolve and include more up-to-date feature sets and performance (come on...3 seconds to acquire focus in live view is a joke apart from Canons dual pixel which is great). Apologies for the rant :)

While priced more look at getting the d7500 over both of these. I'm still contemplating upgrading to it over my d7100

I'll go with Canon T7i(800D)

Idk which one to get because imma be traveling across the world soon and be taking a lot of pics and some but not much video

Hi Jared a real world review of the T7i and 77D would greatly be appreciated although my mind is set on the Canon side I think you can't go wrong with either camera. Great video and the wind tunnel test sold me (lol)!!!

Im using this to see if i want to move from Nikon to cannon since I already had a D5500 and the new D5600 isn't much different

Thanks for the advice, al take the T7i

In 2020 the D5600 is a little less expensive

specilly for photography which is better d5600 or 800d??

Jared, i'm afraid you've missed the most important point in favor of Nikon: dynamic range. In my opinion this is why Nikon is better for stills, while Canon is better for video because of much better live view AF.

JP, you couldn't compare buffer sized on both cameras however the cannon shoots 14 bit raw at 6 fps and holds 21 shots in the buffer. To my that speaks to the Canon having an edge on buffering. Not scientific but obvious? PJ

which one should i take from this both for landscape and potrait photography

hi!! great video! but still, which one has better /clearer video/photo quality in low light conditions?

i will go with the canon 800d

It is clear that Nikon is just focusing on their PRO lines and Canon is focusing on their consumer lines. I still find it appalling that none of the Canon consumer cameras have 4K recording mode or at least output to a recording external device for signal pick up. The strategy I see for Nikon is up-selling its prosumer or enthusiast to their more costly more feature candy cameras. Sony is gaining closely on both giants and is innovating far more than either. The Dual Pixel AF is a killer in Canon though, Sony take notes and copy. I'm a Canon fanboy but I'll be leaving Canon for Sony's A9 or its replacement once they fix the banding issues or at least a 10 FPS mechanical shutter camera, which would eliminate banding at all.

Hi Jared, I hope you're doing good. Please suggest which camera to pick as my 75-80% purpose is photography and 20% videos.. please suggest. I quite confused between these two with a budget of $696.

I go for cannon camera 800D. Best choice for all purposes

bro is nikcon D5600 is nice for photo shooting

this is often just numbers you should give more of your expert opinion on both on regards of the sensors etcetera

Thanks thinking of getting into photography and your video helped me make my decision

Probably can't go wrong with either. Because my comment is made in 2021 maybe the issue might not be with the camera's but sense Nikon is having really bad financial problems and there is even talk of going under. Maybe the issue might be with warranty Good video Jared.

Canon did a great job with this T7i, a lot of people tried to downplay it because of the 80D, but there is no way around it, it's an amazing DSLR for the price. A lot of people in the comment section have no idea what they are talking about, the new 24 megapixels from Canon is still not as good as the Nikon one, but it gets very close. But a little edge in Dynamic Range is nothing compared to the other features. Also Jared said he didn't know the buffer of the Nikon, but it's less than 10 raw pictures.

It’s easy. I don’t know why anyone says this. Nikon = photography Canon = vídeo recording Of course the canon is better than the nikon on video recording because of the dual AF system. But the nikon is soo good for photography. The colors are better and has better contrast. Not to mention, cannon photos have noise.

D5600 is the best for astrophotography at it's price point. Probably makes no difference towards the final picture besides a bit less noise.

so got a silly question. i started off shooting film when 3200 iso was high. got my first dslr was a k10d. going to up grade. what would you use 25,600 iso for or higher. and how much noise is there

I ended up buying the Canon 800D Canon 800D is on sale for 516USD Nikon D5600 is sale 688USD Both came with 18-55mm lense Used less money for buying Canon
