Tyrone: Versus the Nikon and we're going to take these out for a field test.

Justin: So this is the Canon with the 24mm-105mm.

Tyrone: And I've got the Nikon, 18mm-105mm. And we're going to actually go and try now

to put this on a video test and show you how it works.

Both the Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras offer 1080HD video resolutions. Besides me trying

to dance, the side by side comparisons show that the Canon has better picture color than

the Nikon.

Tyrone: This is the audio recording from the Canon. Testing 1, 2, 3 - sibilance, sibilance,

sibilance. Now this is the sound test from the Nikon. Testing 1, 2, 3 - sibilance, sibilance,

sibilance.

We think the Canon is better at capturing sound regardless of the type of external microphone

being used. The audio quality on the Nikon is quite harsh and as you've heard, it is

a bit distorting to the ears.

Justin: The next thing is storage. With the Canon, I've got room for one SD card.

Tyrone: Guess what, for the Nikon, I've got two which is a lot better than yours.

Justin: However there's one thing that's cool about Canons is that they come with Magic

Lantern software so we can actually reduce the bitrate down and means we can get more

videos on our SD cards.

Tyrone: By the way, just to mention, for the two cards I have on the Nikon, he's got one

card so therefore he's actually doing exactly the same capacity as what we're doing. In

actual fact, Canon and the Nikon has about the same storage capacity. I know all these

cameras - both the Canon and the Nikon, you can have interchangeable lenses. For example,

I can actually change this particular lens to another lens that's going to be a lot more

effective for what I ever want to do. Now, because the difference is that the Nikon - the

way you actually mount the lenses on is that it's the opposite way to what the Canon does.

So you're going to actually swing it to the right to unloosen and then swing it back to

the left to tighten it up whereas the Canon is the opposite way around. Now we've got

quite a number of lenses, we've got one right now with the cameraman who's recording and

also too we've got the kit lens there. So the great thing about interchangeable lenses

is that you can frame your different shots for different videos at different lenses.

Both cameras use rechargeable batteries and they last between 2-3 hours per charge. Ideally,

it's good to have spare batteries when recording videos on these cameras as they do drain quite

fast.

Justin: One cool thing that we have in Canon that we don't quite have on the Nikon is one

of these little - where if I really wanted to, I can film myself and see what's going

on.

Tyrone: Unfortunately with the Nikon, whatever I do to try and pull this thing off, it won't

come off. So anyway, he's very lucky to have that as an LCD screen and we're very productive

to have that because we can just to it ourselves without having to have someone else to hold

the camera across.

Another cool edition that the Nikon has which the Canon does not is the real time autofocus.

Where there's an object moving to another position, the Nikon lens will detect and re-focus

automatically. In saying this, the latest Canons have this new option which is not featured

in this video.

Let's take a look at the zoom for both cameras to test how it functions during video recording.

The Nikon seems to be good at auto adjusting and focusing on the object whereas the Canon

does miss this slightly.

All right, so which one is better? Both cameras has its pros and cons. The Canon has better

color and sound quality over the Nikon whereas the Nikon has dual memory card slots, performs

better on zoom and has automatic focusing on their current lens. Though, after doing

the video test, I think the Canon is a better camera for video recording overall. Now that's

just a biased opinion. What do you think? Leave your feedback below.

Justin: In this video, we're going to compare the Canon -

Tyrone: Versus the Nikon -
