Do you have plan to buy a new Digital SLR camera?
It is
common knowledge that people will buy a Digital SLR camera will usually
remember the name of the Nikon or Canon. Both of these brands have long
competed in the world of photography. Canon and Nikon, the two brands always
make prospective buyers confused before they decide to buy a new Digital SLR
camera. Are you also confused to choose Digital SLR camera?
Why do not
you try the Sony Alpha series cameras, Pentax K series, Olympus, Sigma or Panasonic
GH-3? Well, let's look at the comparison between the Canon 650D and the Nikon
D5200. Both cameras are inherited from previous generations of technological
sophistication, even in the two cameras have been equipped with the features of
a full frame camera.

LCD screen
Canon EOS 650D
using the touch screen. This kind of screen is familiar to users or compact
mirrorless camera, but it is the first in the types of DSLR cameras. With a
touch screen, we can change the setting to more quickly and easily, but it can
be used to review the photo with the iPhone camera like rubbing the screen to
the right or to the left. The screen size is also slightly larger than the
Nikon D3200 camera screen (3.2 inches vs. 3 inches).
Interface
design and menu has been updated and the Nikon D5200 better than the previous
series, but tough against the UI and completeness of the buttons on the camera
beginner Canon, especially Canon 650D which has been equipped with a touch
screen. Of course you have other considerations.
Autofocus capabilities
Nikon
D3200 autofocus rely on the same autofocus module with Nikon D7000 camera with
39 points, including 9 cross-type sensitive types. This module is slightly
better than the Canon 650D which has only 9 points, all cross-type manifolds.
To photograph moving subjects, the Nikon D5200 will be more reliable because
the focal point is more and there is also 3D tracking legendary Nikon's proven
reliability.
When using
the LCD screen to compose images (live view), Canon 650D camera users can touch
the screen to use autofocus feature and take photos. In practice, the speed is
a little slow, but speed is better than the Nikon D3200.

Lens options
As with
other Nikon beginner camera, D5200 does not have a focus motor in the camera
body. Therefore lens Nikon AF-D type can be installed but cannot autofocus.
D5200 users must use AF-S lenses for autofocus can. AF-S lens is already quite
a lot these days, but the average price is more expensive than the AF-D lenses.
While the Canon 650D can use all Canon EOS lenses and everything can autofocus.
So this is another plus for the Canon 650D. You can still choose third party
lens that produced by Sigma, Tamron, Tokinon or Samyang from Korea.
Feature Video
Almost all
Digital SLR cameras have a video feature though rarely used, but it would have
been nice if your camera has the ability to record video, so you can make a
short film or video clip. For video recording, the Nikon D5200 has the ability
to record Full HD-quality video with 60 frames per second. This exceeds that
only Canon can achieve 30 frames per second. As a result, the video recordings
of the Nikon D5200 will look smoother. But in its operation, especially
autofocus while video, the Canon 650D is faster and smoother if the STM lenses
(18-135mm 40mm STM or STM).
Image quality

Side of
the picture quality, both cameras are probably almost no difference because
they can produce very good photos, they both can run at ISO 100 to 800, the
remainder of the ISO will arise the rather disturbing noise. About the resolution,
Canon 18 using a MP CMOS
sensor while Nikon uses 24 MP CMOS sensor. Although the resulting image Canon
EOS 650D and Nikon D5200 is as good, for maximum results, requires you to use a
lens with optical quality, of course the price is high, but you do not need to
worry because you can buy lenses made by third parties like Sigma, Tamron,
Samyang, Rokinon Tokinon or.
Canon 650D
has 18 MP CMOS sensor, the same as the Canon 550D to Canon EOS 7D. This sensor is already
in circulation long enough (3 years). Fairly smooth picture quality up to ISO
800. At ISO 1600, image quality begins to decrease due to the onset of noise. But
if you use the print size to small / standard 4R-5R is still smooth.
Nikon
D5200 get the new sensor is 24 MP CMOS sensor. Reportedly this sensor is not
the same as the Nikon D3200 though possessed the same pixel size. Judging from
the photos on the official Nikon website, I get the impression that the new
sharp image results would be obtained with a higher quality lens than the
18-55mm lens bundled.
Conclusion
Indeed,
the comparison between the Canon EOS 650D with the Nikon D5200 just a little and
it has added value in each of the camera. Where Canon is superior to Nikon
because Nikon is equipped with a touch screen, faster autofocus when using STM
lens, navigation buttons fuller, more lens options also. But, do not be
discouraged, because the Nikon was superior to, the 24-MP CMOS sensor, the
focal point focal point 39 more, record more Full HD videos smoothly. In
choosing your emotion was wise to the features offered, so you do not regret it
later. Although there is a touch screen on the Canon 650D, but you will also be
satisfied with the performance of the Nikon D5200.

Both are
reliable for the camera for the beginner category. 650D and D5200 arguably is
the border between segments beginner and intermediate DSLR cameras. Each has a
plus minus. Advantage lies in the Nikon D5200 24 MP sensor, video and
Autofocus. Canon 650D advantage lies in the interface, touch screen and lens
compatibility.
Canon 650D
has more lens options, in addition, the Canon 650D is also a great choice if
you want the ease of use offered LCD touch screen and a smooth autofocus while
video recording and live view (only with lens STM). You can buy third party
lens made by Tamron, Sigma or other brand such as Tokinon or Samyang.
I suggest
you to compare well with alternative camera from Olympus, Pentax, Sony or
Panasonic as I have mentioned above. The technology used in the camera is also
high quality alternative, even Panasonic Lumix GH-3 is very great in
high-definition video technology so you can use it to create video clips or
movies. Once again, whatever camera you choose should be based on your needs
and your budget.
