Camera Showdown: the Nikon D5500 and D3300, Canon 70D and Sony a6000 Compared

05 Jul

With so many cameras on the market now it’s hard to know which one to buy if you’re just getting into digital photography. Should you get a full on DSLR or go for the more streamlined mirrorless ones?

4 Popular cameras compared

In this video Tony Northrup and his partner Chelsea do a comparison of four different cameras in roughly the same price range (under $ 1000) including:

  • The relatively new Nikon D5500 – $ 747 body only
  • Nikon D3300 – $ 497 with 18-55mm lens
  • Canon’s 70D – $ 949 body only
  • Sony’s a6000 – $ 548 body only

Watch as they put all four cameras through their paces doing a portrait in studio, outdoor landscape photography, and a sports simulation (action photography).

Each camera has pros and cons, so there is no one perfect choice. It’s about knowing what your needs are and selecting the one that is right for you.
