Nikon D5100 vs Canon T3i and 60D

A quick preview video looking at the Nikon T3i … ur .. I mean Nikon D5100. I talk about some of the main features of the D5100 compared to the Canon T3i (it’s main competitor) and the Canon 60D. Worth looking at if you are thinking about what DSLR to get and which DSLR would be the best for your money.

Nikon D5100 will be available in May 2011 and can be ordered on Amazon.

Nikon D5100 Body Only

Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

Note: D5100 comes with an 18-55mm kit lens for only $100 extra (not $150 to $200 mentioned in my video)

Prefer Canon

Buy the Canon T3i

Buy the Canon 60D

Canon 60D 720p 60fps test

Did some tests of the HD video mode of the Canon 60D.
I am really impressed with the quality of the video on the Canon 60D.
What I liked:

  • Having 720p at 60fps giving great half speed slow motion (no interpolation required)
  • Using the swivel LCD screen letting me get great low angle shots (I would be buried in the snow for some of the snow shots of the kids)
  • manual Audio control (I dubbed over it but original was great)
  • Auto White balance in video mode was superb – snow can be a challenge!

I did use really good lenses on this footage:
Canon 16-35mm L f2.8 and Canon 70-200mm L f2.8
It shows that the sensor is very capable and adding good glass in front really makes it shine.

Overall – super happy with the camera 🙂
