at entry level maybe. More advanced cameras really do have a huge range of features. unfortunately a lot of these entry level ones are intentionally limited , particularly the D3000 series in my opinion.
I use my Nikon D3500 as a backup. Although, I shoot a lot with it and I prefer using it on a day-to-day basis. Check out this great deal. amzn.to/2Jp0wIw
No, they have two cameras, but usually are identical, but with different prime lenses because they can't afford changing lenses in a photo shoot. Having two different cameras makes you slower
I was asked by my father to look for him a good but cheap decent camera that he can use during his retirement trips across the country. And me, got like 0 knowledge about Cameras and Photography since I'm more of a PC / Gaming guy, had to roam around youtube and Google for tips and reviews for any beginner class and affordable camera and I stumble upon your content. I was at first torn between the two said cameras, but I'm clearly going for Nikon D3500 now. The review and comparison between the two was very comprehensive and even someone like me who's a total newbie to this whole thing did understood the whole process and length of the video. 28mins was really worth it! God bless you sir. Thank you
Hey Jake, great to hear you enjoyed the video and found it informative, thank you for the feedback. I'm sure your father will love his new camera. Best wishes.
I bought and use the D3500 since last year. No problems with it. I enjoy using it. As a newbie to camera work, it’s real easy once you spent the shortest amount with it. Great video ^_^
I just bought the Canon t7 as my first DSLR and I love it so far. Ive been playing around with manual settings and have taken some amazing night photos and some wildlife photos all in the first day of owning it.
I bought my nikon d3400 a few years back. I just now started to take a liking in photography and your videos has been very useful and very informative to me. Thank you very much for your videos! I am definitely improving at taking photos because of them.
Nikon D3500 owner, bought as a hobbyist and now moving into professional work (where we shoot w/ Canon 5Ds), I'll share my thoughts. I love my camera, if I were to start over again I might actually have purchased a used 3300 or 3400 instead and spent the money I saved on an extra lens. The lack of external remote for the 3500 means that I've had to use the painfully slow and underwhelming smartphone app for timed shots or self portraits. The 3300 actually has the port to hook up an external intervalometer, and I would have loved the opportunity to do timelapse photography. The more I learned my camera the more I longed for a dedicated iso button (although when shooting wildlife I actually prefer shooting manual with auto-iso enabled). I plan on upgrading to an older full-frame d750 and if you're purchasing a camera with the idea of maybe using it professionally I highly recommend saving up for full frame that has all the bells and whistles. Features to look for: Built-in Timelapse options, because why not, compatibility with with external remotes, AEB (automatic exposure bracketing) which is great for doing some real-estate work on the side, A Dedicated ISO button, Back-Button AF, and >5+ FPS for action and wildlife photography
I love the D3500 but agree that it was a mistake by Nikon to remove some of the features like the Fn (ISO) button and the ability to use the wireless remote. The D750 is a great camera and there are some great second hand deals around as people are selling them to go mirrorless. Thanks for watching. Paul.
this is the best camera review/comparison video i've seen on youtube and i've been doing tons of research during the past few months. thank you so much for this!
My better half brought me the EOS1300D a couple of years ago and after being a bridge camera user, the 1300D was quite confusing and never used it to its capabilities...After finding your channel and watching your well informed easy to follow instructions, tips and hints I am finding out more and more about the camera everyday and now getting better results. Hopefully I will get to the stage where I feel comfortable to enter your weekly lockdown challenges. Paul@Photogenius Thank you.
Canon Rebel T7 and Nikon D3500 are two professional cameras combine with quality features. And if you want to pick the best one, then we recommend you the Nikon D3500. Why Do We Recommend The Nikon D3500? (1) Nikon D3500’s maximum ISO range is 25600, and Canon Rebel T7’s maximum ISO range is 12800. The higher ISO range will help you to capture perfect and detailed photos even in low lights. (2) This camera has a powerful battery (EN-EL14a Li-Ion Battery), so you can capture approximately 1550 frames by charging it once. Besides, with T7 (LP-E10 x 1 Li-ion Battery), you can capture only 600 frames. (3) Nikon D3500 has active D-lightning which will optimize high contrast images and make sure you get the shadow and highlight detailed images every time. But this feature is not available in T7. (4) The autofocus of this camera is 11 points and T7 has 9 autofocus points. So, D3500 is going to help you to focus on a particular object better than the T7. (5) The continuous shooting speed of D3500 is 5 frames per second whereas T7’s continuous shooting speed is 3 frames. D3500 will help to capture fast-moving objects like cars, birds more accurately than the T7. (6) The image sensor size of the Nikon D3500 is 23.5 mm x 15.6 mm and T7’s image sensor size is 22.3mm x 14.9 mm. With a bigger image sensor size, D3500 will ensure better low-light performance and low noise images. (7) This camera is a built-in microphone, which will make the video recording with sounds easier for you. But there are no microphones in T7. (8) With this camera, you can transfer your files faster as this camera has a USB 3.0 interface. On the other hand, T7 has a USB 2.0 interface. (9) Nikon D3500’s weight is 365 grams and Canon Rebel T7’s weight is 427grams. The lightweight D3500 will help you to capture stabilized photos. Nikon D3500 would be a perfect camera for you since it has high-end features, so we suggest you pick this one.

I already have the Canon D600 so this video is a bit academic for me but still one of the best tutorial content providers I've seen up to now on the two most popular camera brands.
Both are great cameras. If you're on a budget and looking for a good beginner camera, Nikon does the job well. If you are getting into mid-level and professional photography, Canon are definitely the most recommended. But it all depends on what you're looking for in a camera and what suits your needs most, imo. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I am on my 4th DSLR now and finally found a winner. First I got a D3200 and couldn't really figure it out. Sold it. Couple years later, bought a D3400 and remembered why I sold the D3200. Sold it. So I did a little research, bought a Canon SL3. Doesn't focus. Try spending more money on lenses. Doesn't focus well enough. FINALLY, I found a great deal on a Canon T6i. This thing shows great promise and potential. It's heavier and the others, but it is going to be MY DSLR companion. (I am an Avid Bridge Camera user)
I like holding the Canon and their low light censors with WiFi + remote. But I like how Nikon has better battery life and faster sports speed shots 5 FPS vs Canon’s 3 FPS.
Excellent review as I’m buying one of these for my wife who is a “newbie”. They’re both good cameras, and especially for the price point. Think I’m going Nikon but Canon is a great choice as well.
This was the best comparison video I have watched. I have 0 knowledge on Cameras and their settings but you explained all the terms/mechanic used by photographers, and best of all, you helped me make a decision. I am trying to get a camera for real estate for pictures and videos of the house, after watching this video, I will be getting the Nikon D3500. Great video, keep up the good work!
Another informative video from you Paul. But what I like best? That you don't come down on one side or the other. You give pluses and minuses and leave us to make our minds up. I am looking to upgrade my old Nikon D3200 so this has been useful. I will stick with Nikon as I have a few Nikkor lenses. But without the ability to attach my intervelometer, it would make my night time shots just a bit too difficult. Have to look further up the line I guess.
wow, the best explenation on internet. I've learned a lot about camera now in general. I have a question about the high ISO image quiallity on Nikon, by the image you've provided it seems that Canon has much better image quality? I've made up my mind, Nikon is a way to go I think.
Thank you sir. Just purchased the 3500 because of your great informative review. Just noticed that i am a victim of fraud on facebook marketplace. I am so elated.
A newbie to camera (I am mostly point and shoot or iPhone photographs), I found your presentation very interesting and informative. Best of all I liked the fact that whilst talking of a particular function you had the slide of that image to show what it exactly looks like and how to operate those modes. Thank you for such a great video. With this said, I am leaning towards NikonD3500. Is there anywhere I can get a full tutorial of actually how to use each function - I am more of a visual : like videos, rather than a reader : reading manuals and instructions.
Hi Paul, thanks for this video I was never sure if I had made the right decision buying the D3500 but you have put my mind at rest explaining how the D3500 has good continuous mode etc which is better then the T7i which is important to the photography I do thanks for explaining this I couldn’t find a better comparison on these cameras anywhere else so big thanks, I also really enjoyed this video thank you for making this! Stay safe and have a nice weekend :D
Excellent video. I've been an SLR user for years (Pentax ME Super) and just getting into DSLR types. Lots of good info to pick the best camera for my needs, and have settled on the one that I think will suit me best. Thanks.
I was getting bored with the lens that came with the camera and now you gave me reasonable options, because I had no clue what I was looking for, but the prices were wow😮
You are really a genius. I am entering photography as a hobby and definitely will be chasing your videos. Already subscribed. People like you who are putting everything into their job and delivering information to others make this world easier and beautiful. Greetings from Turkey.
Thanks for saving my money 😅 I was about to buy the Canon 1500D but after watching how clumsy the AF is, huge deal breaker for me. Nikon 3500 is far better in many aspects than the Canon. This video appeared a lot late but before time. In India it's known as 1500D so because of the Rebel title RUclips wasn't showing it. Anyways thanks a lot.
Not much in the cameras but the Nikon does have the edge in east to use im a complete beginner Though I do like the T7 because it has a button for just about every thing Tough choice How comfortable is the T7 to hold
Thanks for clarity. I think that I may take this info to decide what I really need in a camera. I think ide rather spend more than these entry level cameras if I can find one in a suitable price range. Like you said, pick a camera that you can move into in the near future. Even though I feel that both of these cameras would be good for portrait and landscape with the correct lense, I feel like it might be a better use of $ to buy a camera that can film moving and still images and that has the ability for an external mic. It's difficult to chose between these two cameras. I think I need to look fir one that is well suited for my needs.
Hello from Canada. Excellent photography site one of the best very helpful and interesting for non professionals. This particular episode was crutial in assisting me with evaluating these two cameras. In fact the camera I was most interested in ended up not having the two most important features I was looking for. Thanks for the assistance.
For years I used an SLR, went through tons of film, but really want to try the DSLR...Both of these cameras had really great features, you made it hard for me to decide...I do think I love the quick focus, the more focus points, the more pics per battery life and the animated function screen on the Nikon...so, think those features are making my decision! Thank you so much!
I found the rebel didn’t motivate me to shoot at all, once i got my Sony a7riii i became obsessed, much easier to land the shots and paired with the zeiss 55mm it’s a dream
Hey Paul, thanks for making this video. The best review and comparison video ever. Thumbs up man. This is really highly informative and made my decision easier. ❤️
I am new to photography and really have been torn between which would be the best camera for me to begin with out of the two. Thank you for making this video!
Thanks for this very helpful video excellent presentation. much easier to decide which camera to get. I ended up Buying the rebel T7, because of the fact I want to try some nighttime landscape and astrophotography.
I purchased the Canon recently and look forward to beginning my journey into photography with this awesome beginners camera. Thanks for the detailed review.
Very informative and well presented, however I was disappointed that there was no information as to the transfer of images from the camera to either computer or smartphone.
I can't believe i just watched a half an hour video.... Very good video very clear, instructive and it helps me when i need to take a desition about what beginner camera to buy
To be honest, I tried a T7 and D3500 once. From a build standpoint, the Nikon felt more solid. Plus the kit lenses that Canon bundles with their entry-level REBELs tend to use the older style DSLR lens where the AF motor is quite loud. Nikon's are very quiet. In this market, I would say that Nikon win. But in the ML, Canon wins.
Very very well put together video. I just cooked breakfast for Father’s Day so I couldn’t watch but I listened and I’ve learned more in your video than on the actual websites. Great info for a beginner like myself. Thank you for not speaking camera jargon without explaining what these terms mean. Really great video!!
Great info, cheers. I want the WiFi of the canon and the snappy 5fps option of the Nikon and the faster focus of the Nikon too. (Fussy bugger that I am). For a similar cost what camera would you recommend? Thanks.
May I ask, as a former film photographer stuck now with an iPhone and no decent computer, but preferring the Nikon here, how does one get the photos off the thing? Can you bluetooth them to your phone? To google photos? How? I would buy tonight if I could clear this mystery up.
One of the things no one talks about is which camera will give you the most bang for the buck before you'll need to upgrade to a new camera. If you are serious about photography and don't want to have to upgrade your camera in a year or two definitely get the Nikon. I shot with a Nikon D3300 for years before upgrading to the D7500. Honestly, I was very happy with the D3300 but when I began to use more sophisticated editing software I upgraded to the D7500.
Which Is one of the reasons I would avoid entry level dslr cameras full stop. Anyone with more then a passing interest in photography would be far better off looking a picking up a good second hand mid range dlsr instead as a compromise. Reason being a new entry level dslr could be mastered quite quickly, and then the user finds the camera lacking in certain features that are to be found on more advanced mid range cameras, higher shutter speed range, faster focusing, better performance at higher ISO values, better performance in low light, night time photography, a flip out screen offering much more flexibility, not to mention a weather sealed body, particularly useful for outdoor photography, landscapes, seascapes etc... So for not a whole pile more then you would pay for a new entry level dslr. Which you would quickly find lacking, in terms of features, which would mean you'd upgrade before long anyway, you could get yourself a much more advanced second hand midrange dslr camera packed with features which would quickly improve your photography and not for a huge initial outlay. The second hand market if full of such cameras offering great value for money. Things to look out for include low shutter count, comes in original packaging, with neck strap, charger and battery etc... You don't always have to buy new.
Hi Paul,,, that was a brillient and informative review,,, Im a canon user myself,,, but loved Nikon from an early age. especilly the film cameras,,, (showing my age now) just on one point,,, you mentioned about the size and weight of the cameras,,, and the Nikon being the smaller and lighter,,, Over my long years in photography,,, especilly with the women photographers, ive known and come into contact with all say that the more professional type cameras are to big and heavy for them,,, so they all go for the smaller lighter models available,,, even bridge cameras in some cases, just because of the weight,,, I dont know if you have many women in your subscribers or on your courses as it might be more of an issue to them,,, especilly if they are more on the petite side,,, (just a thought). Great review tho, Cheers
Hi Paul, I have the canon 550d from 2010. Just getting back into photography. Is that still a good camera to start with still. I also have the Sony alpha 6000. Both cameras have the kit lens. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers Steve
Hi Steve, I have the A6000, it has a really good sensor, great in low-light, much better than the Canon 550d. It depends what type of photography you want to do, and what lenses. Nikon/Canon DSLRs have more lens ( i recommend choosing a camera based on the lenses you need). The canon you have is decent in good light, but will not do well in dimmer light, sensors have improved a lot since the 550d. Sony Alpha series have a limited choice of lenses, but I recommend the following in order of preference: the sony 35mm f1.8 (a good standard walk around prime lens, its the classic nifty 50), the Samyang 12mm F2.0 for ultrawide, the zeiss 16-70 f4 is excellent but expensive, and the sony 55-200 if you need more reach. I'm moving on from A6000 because I want more choise and going for Nikon because i've done my research and found lenses i think would work for me better than sony, I also prefer better Autofocus of modern SLRs. I don't know that much about Canon , but if i liked portraits and good colour straight out of camera , then a more modern Canon is a great choice. If you're not sure, don't stay stuck at home. The A6000 is an excellent camera especially with the kit lens, it's also pocket size, so no excuse for leaving at home.
I’ve watched the video twice now and I’m still not certain as to which one I will buy. I’m going to go out and look at them tomorrow and see which feels most comfortable in my big hands, lol.
Hey, I like your vlog you are giving courage because I bought few months a nikon d3500 I don't know how can I figure out if I made a mistake to choose to choose nikon d3500 or much better cannon it has flip monitor and wifi so I can use my phone as monitor for events like.. weddings or any celebrations.
thank you for your videos, can you tell me your personal opinion on this..Im currently trying to decide between Nikon D3400 and Canon T7 these are the 2 options in my price range used on Ebay. ($350ish ) which of these 2 is the best option? ive never even held a DSLR let alone taken pictures with one. i want to pick up photography as a hobby maybe even morphe into a side business around the holidays if i end up being any good at it..
Wow! After two days of reading and watching reviews of these two cameras, I FINALLY found one that said all I wanted and needed to know. Since a year or so I'm visiting lots of graveyards and photographing them with my Samsung Galaxy S10. Which are pretty good pictures for a smartphone. Now I want to switch to a camera so I can upgrade my pictures a bit. So I was sure I wanted a beginnersmodel, not a professional camera. I want to learn , and not get lost in details and technique. Second reason is that I don't want to spend too much money! :-D This review gave me the chance to make a decent comparison. For me, I think the Canon will do the trick. Thanks for this awesome video! You have a new fan! ;-)
Informative video. Thank you, I am busy purchasing a Canon EOS 2000D Double Lens Kit (18-55 and 75-300 lenses). I want it in order to do some safari shoots as well as other random photos. No sport shooting
Great video, very helpful and informative, still not sure what one to buy though. I’m hoping to take shots of landscapes and wildlife so I might just have to buy both, lol.
Thank you, Paul, for another great video! One question, any idea why Canon always labels the same camera model with different names? It has been like that as far as I can remember, at least with DSLRs.
Great video and so useful, just like the others I have watched. I am now a subscriber. I am not sure if I should upgrade from my compact Canon sx710 hs, or stick for a while. My main concern with my camera is the narrow aperture levels, range of only f3.2 to f8. What do you think?
THIS GUY DOES NOT BLINK
He does, when you do!
5:54 he blinks
thats because he is an AI (artificial intelligence).
Its called extreme auto focus
Blinks at 1:07
I now understand why photographers have two or more cameras. There is no all in one. Some will just be better at certain things than others.
at entry level maybe. More advanced cameras really do have a huge range of features. unfortunately a lot of these entry level ones are intentionally limited , particularly the D3000 series in my opinion.
I use my Nikon D3500 as a backup. Although, I shoot a lot with it and I prefer using it on a day-to-day basis. Check out this great deal.

So true , was thinking the same thing
No, they have two cameras, but usually are identical, but with different prime lenses because they can't afford changing lenses in a photo shoot. Having two different cameras makes you slower

Me too i have no idea now
I’m still sticking to the Nikon loved this review !
@@dulcecastaneda5268 yes me too - the Nikon negative points dont matter much to me - but i like the the 5 FPS mode
Finally a guy whos gives an unbiased and passionate review. Both cameras are great at different things I now understand.
I bought my nikon d3400 a few years back. I just now started to take a liking in photography and your videos has been very useful and very informative to me.

One of the most thorough videos I've found.
Thank you Cheyenne, appreciated.
Agreed No doubt 💯 👌
Thankyou for this - I am now convinced I prefer the Canon Cameras .. so now I know I made the right decision
this is the best camera review/comparison video i've seen on youtube and i've been doing tons of research during the past few months. thank you so much for this!
Man, so watching this... twice... it comes down to this for me: "Nikon" sounds cooler than "Canon". Other than that, I can't choose between them.
A clear, lucid, unbiased presentation of the two cameras ! Super and thank you!
I have to say that,I owned the Nikon D3200 and I love it, you'll love the D3500

I am on my 4th DSLR now and finally found a winner.
First I got a D3200 and couldn't really figure it out.
Sold it.
Couple years later, bought a D3400 and remembered why I sold the D3200.
Sold it.
So I did a little research, bought a Canon SL3.
Doesn't focus.
Try spending more money on lenses.
Doesn't focus well enough.
FINALLY, I found a great deal on a Canon T6i.
This thing shows great promise and potential.
It's heavier and the others, but it is going to be MY DSLR companion.
(I am an Avid Bridge Camera user)
4th time lucky 😃... hope you have fun with the new camera, thanks for watching.
I like holding the Canon and their low light censors with WiFi + remote.

My hubby went with the Canon for me. Still learning but already in love with it. Good luck
@@FlossyMae843 Same to you. I could have flipped a coin and been happy with either one.
Thanks for the very informative comparison Paul! I'm just getting into photography, and have decided to go with the T7!
I am very happy with my D3500.
This was the best comparison video I have watched. I have 0 knowledge on Cameras and their settings but you explained all the terms/mechanic used by photographers, and best of all, you helped me make a decision.

By far the best review I have seen!! Thank you for your honest thorough review!!
I buy the canon rebel t7 yesterday
This video is very helpfull tip for me
Thankyou somuch..

wow, the best explenation on internet. I've learned a lot about camera now in general. I have a question about the high ISO image quiallity on Nikon, by the image you've provided it seems that Canon has much better image quality?
I've made up my mind, Nikon is a way to go I think.
Didn't see your video first but Great Info and I LOVE my D3500 and taking my first class this Fall in prep for a trip to Alaska!
This is the best review on RUclips thank you 😊 👍🏻
Thank you sir. Just purchased the 3500 because of your great informative review. Just noticed that i am a victim of fraud on facebook marketplace. I am so elated.
I own a D3500 it’s an amazing camera you won’t be disappointed
How is the video quality/audio quality if you wanted to do videos?
Same. Super love it. Im a beginner and im learning so much from it. Im currently on my lighting portion haha
A newbie to camera (I am mostly point and shoot or iPhone photographs), I found your presentation very interesting and informative. Best of all I liked the fact that whilst talking of a particular function you had the slide of that image to show what it exactly looks like and how to operate those modes. Thank you for such a great video. With this said, I am leaning towards NikonD3500. Is there anywhere I can get a full tutorial of actually how to use each function - I am more of a visual : like videos, rather than a reader : reading manuals and instructions.
Hi Paul, thanks for this video I was never sure if I had made the right decision buying the D3500 but you have put my mind at rest explaining how the D3500 has good continuous mode etc which is better then the T7i which is important to the photography I do thanks for explaining this I couldn’t find a better comparison on these cameras anywhere else so big thanks, I also really enjoyed this video thank you for making this! Stay safe and have a nice weekend :D
Excellent video. I've been an SLR user for years (Pentax ME Super) and just getting into DSLR types. Lots of good info to pick the best camera for my needs, and have settled on the one that I think will suit me best. Thanks.
Let's First Salute this man bc he just Bought BOTH THE CAMERA BY HIMSELF JUST FOR THIS VIDEO.....Hatsoff
Nice explanation! If u have made this video few months back i would have purchased nikon 3500 instead of canon 1500d
I was getting bored with the lens that came with the camera and now you gave me reasonable options, because I had no clue what I was looking for, but the prices were wow😮
I love your videos, I bought the Canon Rebel t7 and so far I really like it. I also ordered the Tamron 18-400 to get some zoom.
You are really a genius. I am entering photography as a hobby and definitely will be chasing your videos. Already subscribed. People like you who are putting everything into their job and delivering information to others make this world easier and beautiful. Greetings from Turkey.
Finally which is better and the model for Mid-level Guys..?
Thanks for saving my money 😅 I was about to buy the Canon 1500D but after watching how clumsy the AF is, huge deal breaker for me. Nikon 3500 is far better in many aspects than the Canon. This video appeared a lot late but before time. In India it's known as 1500D so because of the Rebel title RUclips wasn't showing it. Anyways thanks a lot.
Thank you for all the useful information. I bought the Canon Rebel t7 will arrive on Thursday. So excited to get started with photography.
i just got mines today
Loved,straight to the point short and quick, I choose Nikon.
Not much in the cameras but the Nikon does have the edge in east to use im a complete beginner
Though I do like the T7 because it has a button for just about every thing
Tough choice
How comfortable is the T7 to hold
excellent guide thanks - im going for the Nikon even though it is more expensive here in the UK
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Steve.
This is very informative. I'm actually planning to buy the nikon d3500 as a beginner
Me too
Good decision
I'm torn between the two. Are you happy with the nikon?
Yes men,I love it, I have mine since 2012 and the quality is excellent
I highly recommend you the brand
Thanks for clarity. I think that I may take this info to decide what I really need in a camera. I think ide rather spend more than these entry level cameras if I can find one in a suitable price range. Like you said, pick a camera that you can move into in the near future. Even though I feel that both of these cameras would be good for portrait and landscape with the correct lense, I feel like it might be a better use of $ to buy a camera that can film moving and still images and that has the ability for an external mic. It's difficult to chose between these two cameras. I think I need to look fir one that is well suited for my needs.
Both are pretty good cameras. Very informative video!
This is how a review should look like, thanks!
I am currently using a Canon T6i. It is my first DSLR camera. I looked at the specs and it seems ok. What are your thoughts about this camera?
Hello from Canada. Excellent photography site one of the best very helpful and interesting for non professionals. This particular episode was crutial in assisting me with evaluating these two cameras. In fact the camera I was most interested in ended up not having the two most important features I was looking for. Thanks for the assistance.
For years I used an SLR, went through tons of film, but really want to try the DSLR...Both of these cameras had really great features, you made it hard for me to decide...I do think I love the quick focus, the more focus points, the more pics per battery life and the animated function screen on the Nikon...so, think those features are making my decision! Thank you so much!
I am not sure if my comment can bring any further clarity to your decision (if not already made) but feel free to have a look if you like!
I found the rebel didn’t motivate me to shoot at all, once i got my Sony a7riii i became obsessed, much easier to land the shots and paired with the zeiss 55mm it’s a dream
What were some of the things about the Rebel that you weren’t fond of? (just curious)
@@johnnyroberts3761 when I had my rebel, I just kind of found it bulky and slow.
Hey Paul, thanks for making this video. The best review and comparison video ever. Thumbs up man. This is really highly informative and made my decision easier. ❤️
thank you! i was already going for the nikon and i think this video solidified my decision. i hope it works well!
I am new to photography and really have been torn between which would be the best camera for me to begin with out of the two. Thank you for making this video!
Thanks for this very helpful video excellent presentation. much easier to decide which camera to get. I ended up Buying the rebel T7, because of the fact I want to try some nighttime landscape and astrophotography.
I purchased the Canon recently and look forward to beginning my journey into photography with this awesome beginners camera. Thanks for the detailed review.
My Canon (book) reads Rebel T7 1500D. It says it all, not just one or the other, and Im in the USA
This video really helped me a lot. Thanks for the review. I went with the T7.
I think I’ll start off with the Nikon and after a couple of years upgrade to a higher spec canon or Nikon
this gentleman is worth subscribing
he’s not sub hungry , he’s unbiased and genuinely passionate
❤️🇨🇦
Very informative and well presented, however I was disappointed that there was no information as to the transfer of images from the camera to either computer or smartphone.
I can't believe i just watched a half an hour video.... Very good video very clear, instructive and it helps me when i need to take a desition about what beginner camera to buy
I got a T7 kit from best buy, and the 18-55 lens has the stabilizer in it.
To be honest, I tried a T7 and D3500 once. From a build standpoint, the Nikon felt more solid. Plus the kit lenses that Canon bundles with their entry-level REBELs tend to use the older style DSLR lens where the AF motor is quite loud. Nikon's are very quiet. In this market, I would say that Nikon win. But in the ML, Canon wins.
What is ML?
Very very well put together video. I just cooked breakfast for Father’s Day so I couldn’t watch but I listened and I’ve learned more in your video than on the actual websites. Great info for a beginner like myself. Thank you for not speaking camera jargon without explaining what these terms mean. Really great video!!
Great info, cheers. I want the WiFi of the canon and the snappy 5fps option of the Nikon and the faster focus of the Nikon too. (Fussy bugger that I am). For a similar cost what camera would you recommend? Thanks.

I’m so happy I found your site. Your tutorials are super. You take your time , speak clearly and make learning so easy. Thank you so much.
Thank you soooooo much for taking the time to share this information!

The best comparison regarding cameras I've ever seen.
You are a very professional reviewer. Greetings from Florida, USA.
May I ask, as a former film photographer stuck now with an iPhone and no decent computer, but preferring the Nikon here, how does one get the photos off the thing? Can you bluetooth them to your phone? To google photos? How? I would buy tonight if I could clear this mystery up.
What a great detailed comparison Paul!great video!
One of the things no one talks about is which camera will give you the most bang for the buck before you'll need to upgrade to a new camera. If you are serious about photography and don't want to have to upgrade your camera in a year or two definitely get the Nikon. I shot with a Nikon D3300 for years before upgrading to the D7500. Honestly, I was very happy with the D3300 but when I began to use more sophisticated editing software I upgraded to the D7500.
Which Is one of the reasons I would avoid entry level dslr cameras full stop.
Anyone with more then a passing interest in photography would be far better off looking a picking up a good second hand mid range dlsr instead as a compromise.
Reason being a new entry level dslr could be mastered quite quickly, and then the user finds the camera lacking in certain features that are to be found on more advanced mid range cameras, higher shutter speed range, faster focusing, better performance at higher ISO values, better performance in low light, night time photography, a flip out screen offering much more flexibility, not to mention a weather sealed body, particularly useful for outdoor photography, landscapes, seascapes etc...
So for not a whole pile more then you would pay for a new entry level dslr. Which you would quickly find lacking, in terms of features, which would mean you'd upgrade before long anyway, you could get yourself a much more advanced second hand midrange dslr camera packed with features which would quickly improve your photography and not for a huge initial outlay.
The second hand market if full of such cameras offering great value for money. Things to look out for include low shutter count, comes in original packaging, with neck strap, charger and battery etc... You don't always have to buy new.
Hi Paul,,, that was a brillient and informative review,,, Im a canon user myself,,, but loved Nikon from an early age. especilly the film cameras,,, (showing my age now) just on one point,,, you mentioned about the size and weight of the cameras,,, and the Nikon being the smaller and lighter,,, Over my long years in photography,,, especilly with the women photographers, ive known and come into contact with all say that the more professional type cameras are to big and heavy for them,,, so they all go for the smaller lighter models available,,, even bridge cameras in some cases, just because of the weight,,, I dont know if you have many women in your subscribers or on your courses as it might be more of an issue to them,,, especilly if they are more on the petite side,,, (just a thought). Great review tho, Cheers
Hi Paul, I have the canon 550d from 2010. Just getting back into photography. Is that still a good camera to start with still. I also have the Sony alpha 6000. Both cameras have the kit lens. Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers
Steve
Hi Steve, I have the A6000, it has a really good sensor, great in low-light, much better than the Canon 550d. It depends what type of photography you want to do, and what lenses. Nikon/Canon DSLRs have more lens ( i recommend choosing a camera based on the lenses you need). The canon you have is decent in good light, but will not do well in dimmer light, sensors have improved a lot since the 550d. Sony Alpha series have a limited choice of lenses, but I recommend the following in order of preference: the sony 35mm f1.8 (a good standard walk around prime lens, its the classic nifty 50), the Samyang 12mm F2.0 for ultrawide, the zeiss 16-70 f4 is excellent but expensive, and the sony 55-200 if you need more reach. I'm moving on from A6000 because I want more choise and going for Nikon because i've done my research and found lenses i think would work for me better than sony, I also prefer better Autofocus of modern SLRs. I don't know that much about Canon , but if i liked portraits and good colour straight out of camera , then a more modern Canon is a great choice. If you're not sure, don't stay stuck at home. The A6000 is an excellent camera especially with the kit lens, it's also pocket size, so no excuse for leaving at home.
Thanks a lot mate. I was confused between the above two cameras which one to buy. The best review i have ever seen.
This really helped me. Thank you!
You are very welcome, thanks for watching.
I’ve watched the video twice now and I’m still not certain as to which one I will buy. I’m going to go out and look at them tomorrow and see which feels most comfortable in my big hands, lol.
You made selection easy. Great video with every detailed information.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey, I like your vlog you are giving courage because I bought few months a nikon d3500 I don't know how can I figure out if I made a mistake to choose to choose nikon d3500 or much better cannon it has flip monitor and wifi so I can use my phone as monitor for events like.. weddings or any celebrations.
Sir what is your opinion canon or Nikon which is better
thank you for your videos, can you tell me your personal opinion on this..Im currently trying to decide between Nikon D3400 and Canon T7 these are the 2 options in my price range used on Ebay. ($350ish ) which of these 2 is the best option? ive never even held a DSLR let alone taken pictures with one. i want to pick up photography as a hobby maybe even morphe into a side business around the holidays if i end up being any good at it..
Can you control the canon eos 2000d on your pc using the remote live view shooting software ? All the best from Scotland 🏴🏴
Wow! After two days of reading and watching reviews of these two cameras, I FINALLY found one that said all I wanted and needed to know. Since a year or so I'm visiting lots of graveyards and photographing them with my Samsung Galaxy S10. Which are pretty good pictures for a smartphone. Now I want to switch to a camera so I can upgrade my pictures a bit. So I was sure I wanted a beginnersmodel, not a professional camera. I want to learn , and not get lost in details and technique. Second reason is that I don't want to spend too much money! :-D This review gave me the chance to make a decent comparison. For me, I think the Canon will do the trick. Thanks for this awesome video! You have a new fan! ;-)
Were they discontinued?
great and useful comparison for the perplexed mind to choose which one.
Awesome video! I do mostly outdoor dog and human portraits but I occasionally like getting action shots, which camera do you think would be better?
Informative video. Thank you, I am busy purchasing a Canon EOS 2000D Double Lens Kit (18-55 and 75-300 lenses). I want it in order to do some safari shoots as well as other random photos. No sport shooting
Have fun with your new camera and thanks for watching.
Great video, very helpful and informative, still not sure what one to buy though. I’m hoping to take shots of landscapes and wildlife so I might just have to buy both, lol.
I use 11 years Canon 430EX II speedlite on my canon 90D still great speedlite in 2020👍
Thank you, Paul, for another great video! One question, any idea why Canon always labels the same camera model with different names? It has been like that as far as I can remember, at least with DSLRs.
how about car photography? i’m sure that both cameras would be good for that
Great video and so useful, just like the others I have watched. I am now a subscriber. I am not sure if I should upgrade from my compact Canon sx710 hs, or stick for a while. My main concern with my camera is the narrow aperture levels, range of only f3.2 to f8. What do you think?
Fantastic in depth review Photo Genius. Thanks very much.
Really helped me make up my mind.
