Thanks for watching, I would say either the Nikon D5200 or Canon 650D. Both are great cameras, the 650D may be slighter better for video overall and has a touch screen too. Nikon D5200 has more megapixels and AF points so it really comes down to what features you like more.
I've watched tonnes - and I do mean tonnes of reviews, this came across as THE most informative, organized and honest review I've came across so far. Thank you!
Thanks for watching. I don't think you can go wrong with either, both are great cameras. But it really depends on what is more important to you? The Canon 650D has a touch screen where as the Nikon D5200 has higher megapixels and more auto-focus points
Thanks for watching, I haven't actually had a chance to use the 650D as yet but generally speaking using the Rode on other Canons I have not had a problem. In terms of specs both have their advantages/disadvantages, if I get hold of a 650D I will try to do a comparison.
Yes agreed, it is more of an "advanced entry level" DSLR, I am just sort of used to referring to all DX crop sensor cameras as "entry-level". If I get a hold of a D7000 I will try to do a comparison
That's a tough question, both are great cameras. D5200 has higher megapixels and swivel screen and D7000 has more pro features (twin SD card slot, 100% viewfinder etc..). It comes down to what features are more suited for you.
Full frames allow you to take advantage of the full focal length of a lens (so a 50mm will be a 50mm) with a crop sensor like the D7000 and D5200 you get a 1.5x crop (so the focal length of a 50mm would be the equivalent to a 75mm), also a full-frame offers better low-light performance. Hope that helps.
depends on what is important to you, T4i has a touch screen where as the Nikon D5200 has higher megapixels and more auto-focus points. Also D5100 has no manual video control, big down for me.
I know, very annoying wish they would fix it. The method I use is to do a clap before starting a scene. That creates a large hike in the audio levels so when you put both audio clips together in your editing software you just match that hike on both and it will be in sync. Hope that helps
I haven't seen many shots from the D5100, but used to have the D5000. I thing generally speaking the image quality is similar in the D5000 series, however the obvious advantage is the higher resolution of the D5200 which is going to give you a lot more detail
Both awesome cameras, 650D has a touch screen where as the Nikon D5200 has higher megapixels and more auto-focus points, depends what features are more important to you
If you are going to be using it long-term then definitely go for full frame. You can get much better results and take full advantage of the lenses (e.g. a 50mm lens will give you a pic with 50mm focal lenth, unlike with a crop sensor which will give you the equvilent of 75mm with a 50mm lens). Also between the Canon 6D and Nikon D600 there are many differences in specs, you can have a look at my spec comparison video between the 2 cameras on my channel which should help. All the best.
hey buddy, prime lenses are fixed lenses (no zoom) and because they don't have zoom, there is less that needs to go on in the lens, which makes them smaller, cheaper and allows them to have a a very wide aperture (giving you more control over depth of field). A 35mm or 50mm 1.8 is great to start with. All the best
Hey Tarun, thanks buddy. Tbh I don't know too much about the Sony Alpha A65. Personally when it comes to DSLRs I stick to either Nikon or Canon mainly because of the quality and range of their lenses.
From what I have heard the 650D is better however I have not had a chance to test it myself so cannot say for sure. Personally I still think there is no DSLR with great in video auto focus to be honest so currently manual focus in video is the best option (for me anyway)
Thanks, glad you found the video useful. I think @Brendan has made a good suggestion below, prime lens give you the best quality unless you have a lot of money to spend. The kit lenses are decent too but you won't get results like a prime lens
Hey buddy, the D5100 is an older model now so personally I would go for either the D3200 or D5200, I have done a spec comparison between the two on my channel
This does shoot great video although if you are going to be using an external mic into the camera it has that annoying hiss. So you may be better off with a Canon 650D if you will be shooting lots of video and audio is important to you. Having said that personally I find using a separate audio recorder altogether is better.
By high class do you mean professional? If so I would advise a full-frame camera such as the D600 or D800. As for lens, definitely go for a NIKKOR, prime (fixed) lenses give the best results in my experience.
Both good cameras, it really depends on your preference. My advice would be to go to a store that has them both and try them out hands on to get a good feel
Thanks buddy, they are all great cameras. Personally I think the Nikons have a better interface (graphic as I showed) which I think is very helpful for beginners. So D3200 if you are on a budget and D5200 if you have the extra cash.
Thanks buddy, I don't actually have an external recording unit (like the Atamos Ninja) to test it on, but if I get hold of one I will definitely do a test.
I find original Nikon Nikkor lenses to be the best, especially prime lens (fixed 35mm, 50mm etc..) Out of the 3 I think the D5200 is best, as it is a latest it has the newest features. All the best
Both good cameras, D5200 is newer so has more updates (1080p at 25/30fps and 1080i at 60fps, flip out screen) but the D7000 has more pro features (100% viewfinder, dual SD slots).
My opinion. If you can spare the extra $, go with the 5200. Hands down, no contest. This camera should last you a LONG time. It's the lenses you'll be upgrading. The investment is worth it. The D5200 has a lot of room for growth, and then some. (but I'm far from an expert, this is just what I've gained from tons of research and help from professional photographer friends).
I have a D5100 and my mic is pristine with or without an external mic. The downside to the 5100 internal mic is that it is omni directional so it picks up the stuff behind you as well as in front. That's why its best with a directional external mic.
thank, personally I prefer the images of Nikon. I find them sharper than Canon images. Canon images I find generally have more warmer colours than Nikon, but sharpness is key for me
Partly the HS50 has a smaller sensor so produces 'lower' quality images. You may not see a real difference, especially if you are new to photography. One of the major improvements you can make in your images is down to the lens. The advantage of DSLR is that you can change lenses, buying better quality as you progress. With the HS50 you have one lens that is non removable, so if you wanted to have a different lens then you would need to upgrade the entire camera. Hope that helped
Great review! Just got bought this today (amazing price from Henry's). Couldn't be happier. Feels better than Christmas. Gorgeous camera. Amazing Value. Got it with the basic 18-55 lens for everyday walk around use, until I'm more confident I can get a better lens and not break it. LOVE the "dashboard" style interface. They even threw in a free Nikon holster bag & Sandisk 16GB SDHC HD Vid Extreme UHS-1 memory card! Serious smiling like a crazy girl. So happy I chose this over the Canon Rebel T5i
1080P means 1080 by 1920 true pixels. Interlaced means that it skips some line of pixels horizontal. That means your picture is still 1920 pixels width but not 1080 pixels high. Only 540 pixels. Your camera records one line of pixels, skips the next, record a line, skips the next. So it has to record less data. Your computer/editing software will "make up" the not recorded pixels.
Thanks for watching, I would say either the Nikon D5200 or Canon 650D. Both are great cameras, the 650D may be slighter better for video overall and has a touch screen too. Nikon D5200 has more megapixels and AF points so it really comes down to what features you like more.
Thank you for watching Christina :-) Glad it was helpful, hope you're getting on well with it!

Thanks for watching and for the detailed description Jimmy :-)
for the filming 24-70 f2.8, for the shots of the camera it had a50mm 1.4 on
Thanks for watching, I will try to take a look when I get a chance.
I don't think it skips the lines, it just records them separately (odds and evens) then puts them together. Jimmy has described it well below.
The shots of the camera itself it has a 50mm f1.4. When I was filming myself I had the 24-70 f2.8
Yes agreed, it is more of an "advanced entry level" DSLR, I am just sort of used to referring to all DX crop sensor cameras as "entry-level". If I get a hold of a D7000 I will try to do a comparison

Hey Tarun, thanks buddy. Tbh I don't know too much about the Sony Alpha A65. Personally when it comes to DSLRs I stick to either Nikon or Canon mainly because of the quality and range of their lenses.
Cheers buddy, glad it was helpful. The mic is the Rode Video Mic, should be on Amazon :-)
Yes, it's a great all round camera
Either will do great but as it is a crop sensor I think 35mm works better. The kit lens is usually the 18-55mm, which is decent but not the best
From what I have heard the 650D is better however I have not had a chance to test it myself so cannot say for sure. Personally I still think there is no DSLR with great in video auto focus to be honest so currently manual focus in video is the best option (for me anyway)

Hey buddy, the D5100 is an older model now so personally I would go for either the D3200 or D5200, I have done a spec comparison between the two on my channel
Thank you for the awesome comment, really made my day :-) Appreciate the continued support buddy
This does shoot great video although if you are going to be using an external mic into the camera it has that annoying hiss. So you may be better off with a Canon 650D if you will be shooting lots of video and audio is important to you. Having said that personally I find using a separate audio recorder altogether is better.
Cheers buddy. Between the 2 I would go for D3200, newer with higher mp. Plus D5100 doesn't have manual control over video
If you need a zoom, the 70-300mm is pretty decent. Fixed at the 50mm mark definitely a 50mm 1.4 or 1.8
This was exactly what I was looking for. Amazing.
By high class do you mean professional? If so I would advise a full-frame camera such as the D600 or D800. As for lens, definitely go for a NIKKOR, prime (fixed) lenses give the best results in my experience.
Thanks for watching Jacek :-)
Both great cameras tbh, the 650D does have a touchscreen but this has higher megapixels and more AF points.
thanks,, unfortunately I have not had a chance to use either of them although have heard good things.
Hey, hmm not too sure of DSLRs at that price. The D3200 is really good but is quite a bit more. Maybe a second hand D3100?
in the video, the 24-70 f2.8
Both good cameras, it really depends on your preference. My advice would be to go to a store that has them both and try them out hands on to get a good feel
Thank you so much for the awesome comment :-)
Have a search on either Amazon or Calumet, I got mine from Calumet I think.
Awesome. The D5000 series cameras are great!
Cheers for the like and sub. I would go for the D5200, much better camera overall and will help you develop your photography future. All the best :-)
Thanks buddy, they are all great cameras. Personally I think the Nikons have a better interface (graphic as I showed) which I think is very helpful for beginners. So D3200 if you are on a budget and D5200 if you have the extra cash.

Personally between the 2 I would go for the D5200, mainly because the D7000 is pretty old now. Or the D7100!
Thanks John :-) Yes it's not a huge jump up from the D3200, but both great cameras
I find original Nikon Nikkor lenses to be the best, especially prime lens (fixed 35mm, 50mm etc..)
Out of the 3 I think the D5200 is best, as it is a latest it has the newest features. All the best
Both good cameras, D5200 is newer so has more updates (1080p at 25/30fps and 1080i at 60fps, flip out screen) but the D7000 has more pro features (100% viewfinder, dual SD slots).
the one that came with the 50mm f1.4
Both are good, Canon cameras tend to film at a higher bitrate but personally I think there is little between the two in terms of quality difference
Hey buddy, that was filmed using my D800. My primary camera, full review of that is also on my channel.
Cheers buddy, yes the entry level and advanced beginner DSLRs these days are packing a punch! And good example lol
thanks for watching :-)
Maybe in the future, need to build the channel a bit more so please keep supporting :-)
thanks for watching, hope you have enough for it soon :-)
Yes
Why aren't all camera reviews on RUclips like this?! Thank you!
I would choose good glass over a better body any day. Thanks for watching :-)
both are good cameras, personally I prefer the easy to use interface of the D5200
My opinion. If you can spare the extra $, go with the 5200. Hands down, no contest. This camera should last you a LONG time. It's the lenses you'll be upgrading. The investment is worth it. The D5200 has a lot of room for growth, and then some. (but I'm far from an expert, this is just what I've gained from tons of research and help from professional photographer friends).
Definitely the D5200, newer model, many more features!
I use an external mic, the Zoon H4N
yep the 35mm 1.8G great lens
Thank you buddy, glad you liked it :-)
Between the two I would say D5200, more AF points, higher resolution images.
between the 2 I would go for D5200, much newer = many more features
You sir are the best camera reviewer I've come across, thanks a lot for them because they are so helpful.
I have a D5100 and my mic is pristine with or without an external mic. The downside to the 5100 internal mic is that it is omni directional so it picks up the stuff behind you as well as in front. That's why its best with a directional external mic.
thank for your input
108mm will give you more zoom. Personally I go body only but that is because I have a lot of lenses
Not kit lens, I used the 35mm 1.8
Always go for the newer model if affordable, D5200 has more features and is a better camera.
I believe around ISO1000 as I only had 1 light.
Awesome cheers Victor, hope you are getting on well with the camera :-)
thank, personally I prefer the images of Nikon. I find them sharper than Canon images. Canon images I find generally have more warmer colours than Nikon, but sharpness is key for me
I ended up getting that lens with the Nikon D7000. Your review really helped in the decision making process! Thanks!
That's good to know I am not the only one, might try your set up. What Sony Mic are you using? Thanks buddy
Your reviews always give tons of useful review
Lol it was to show the video quality, I used the D5200 to film parts of my Nexus 4 review
THE BEST REVIEW OF NIKON D5200, I wasnt sure about buying it, but with examples, is much easier. thanks
Yep
Great video supersaftv, very informative. The nikon d5200 is a great DSLR camera, we use it to shoot video all the time.
Partly the HS50 has a smaller sensor so produces 'lower' quality images. You may not see a real difference, especially if you are new to photography.

With the HS50 you have one lens that is non removable, so if you wanted to have a different lens then you would need to upgrade the entire camera.
Hope that helped
No, it has 11 auto focus points with just 1 cross type
Bought this camera today and it's my 1st DSLR .. have no idea whatsoever about these things hehe .. Thanks for the review
Will try if I get a chance buddy
Interesting, thanks buddy I will try this out
that's what a review i needed ordered my d5200 with out wasting much time thank you so much
Great review! Just got bought this today (amazing price from Henry's). Couldn't be happier. Feels better than Christmas. Gorgeous camera. Amazing Value. Got it with the basic 18-55 lens for everyday walk around use, until I'm more confident I can get a better lens and not break it. LOVE the "dashboard" style interface. They even threw in a free Nikon holster bag & Sandisk 16GB SDHC HD Vid Extreme UHS-1 memory card! Serious smiling like a crazy girl. So happy I chose this over the Canon Rebel T5i
I just purchased a used Nikon 5200 and needed this information. Thank you so much for the teaching tips!
Does it overheat I wanna use it as a webcam
no no, it does not. But as I mentioned in the video most Nikon lenses do (148 of them I believe)
50mm 1.4G, amazing lens!
1080P means 1080 by 1920 true pixels. Interlaced means that it skips some line of pixels horizontal. That means your picture is still 1920 pixels width but not 1080 pixels high. Only 540 pixels. Your camera records one line of pixels, skips the next, record a line, skips the next. So it has to record less data. Your computer/editing software will "make up" the not recorded pixels.
35mm 1.8mm is nice
thanks for this review! it makes me want to buy it even more (currently saving up for one!)
