Canon EOS 1300D Rebel T6 w/ EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II vs Nikon D3500

I love this camera but the lense is spaced out and foggy like the two peices of glass on it are coming unglued. Please send a new lense. Thanks.

it sucked lol. Using a D3500 with a nikon 17-55 2.8 lens. I couldnt auto-focus on anything because it was so dark, and the lens wasnt letting me manually focus! I switched it to M instead of MA on the lens but when I was spinning the dial it wasn't focusing, I was trying to make it infinty focus

I bought this camera to replace my Canon Rebel T2i that was water damaged irreparably. When choosing this model, I preferred the options of the T6 over the more expensive T6i. For example, I do not need stabilization because any lenses I have which may require it (mainly telephoto) incorporate that feature. I recommend any buyer carefully decide what features they'll actually use (not just what sounds good) before choosing between this model and the T6i

To be honest, the only reason why I bought this was because all modern digital cameras lack the manual control functionalities of the camera. Nowadays, everything is "automatically" managed by the computer within the camera which, in most cases, ruins the pictures. I am so glad that I made the switch to this camera! It does everything that my other cameras does not do! It allows me to manually adjust the focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and so much more! I will admit that the camera can be a bit "much" to those who are new to the DSLR universe, but I will say that after you play with the camera for a while, you will know all of the menus, options and their locations like a pro! What I love about this camera is that you have the ability to switch out the stock lens for a macro lens (those insane close up photos) or for a telephoto lens (for those far distant pictures) if you choose! For me, personally, the stock lens does more than enough, but if I have the urge to buy one of the other lenses, I can do that because the camera is made for expand-ability! Contrary to what others may say, personally, I believe that the JPEG images are super clean and crisp. While you are not supposed to use JPEGs for post-production, I believe you can get away with some minor post with these files

In Live View mode it's pretty good in my "studio" but I can't comment on contrast and visibility outdoors. However, it is clear, seems to have a fine resolution and does the job. However, it isn't articulated like some people prefer so that may be a deal-breaker for you. For me, not so much

Moving to ISO 12800 we see noise tick up above 1.5 percent, and we also see details drop precipitiously. You can set the camera as high as ISO 25600, but I wouldn't recommend it when shooting in JPG format—images are blurry and show very little fine detail.

Granted, autofocus did have some issues resolving under those light conditions, but it still managed to take good, sharp, pictures, despite being well outside of a "normal" use condition. The video will only record for a little over 12 minutes, which is unfortunate, but it IS a "Still" camera. The microphone is actually pretty decent. I've managed to use it for at least 2 hours at a time, taking over a hundred photos, all using the screen on the back and the autofocus, which says something about the battery life

My biggest issue with Canon cameras was the poor battery performance. I used to lug around three spare batteries to feed be beast with Canons. With this camera I can shoot all weekend with one charge. I must also mentioned that the the great deal Amazon gave me on this camera on the Black Friday deal

Not great for beginners and not really any better than my iPhone. My interest is using it in full auto mode. My issues: • The autofocus doesn't work well half the time. • The flash is terrible - to me if you can tell a flash was used it's not natural and looks bad

Unfortunately, its autofocus system is very basic, with only 11 detection points. It's not especially reliable when it comes to face or object tracking. Also, it isn't the best option if you're interested in recording video since it can't record in 4k, and its FHD video quality is mediocre overall. Despite that, it's still one of the best cameras to start photography with, and most beginners will be happy with it

Best DSLR I've ever owned! Easy to use! Excellent for video production! Easy lens change out! PRO Stuff for a decent price! Would prefer a 3.5 mm mic port. Great for family portraits, weddings, EVERYTHING!

Get the Canon if you want 4k video capability and a fully articulated touchscreen, but if you're new to DSLRs, the Nikon is a great alternative budget option.
