Comparison Canon Eos 600D (Rebel T3i) vs Nikon D5100 [Review]

The   Excellence of Nikon D5100

Good, let's review. In terms of quality of the photo sensor, Nikon D5100 has the same sensor with the D7000 (that can produce images equivalent to a camera D7000). The sensor is newer and better than the sensor in the Canon Eos 600D. So when using the same lens, the result is better Nikon D5100.

    Image quality at high ISO (usually used in a dark place) is also better, especially at ISO 1600 and 3200. Moreover, both cameras have difficulties to overcome noise / spots on the photograph.

The Advantage Canon Eos 600D A.K.A Rebel T3i


 
If the problem of control and handling, I prefer the Canon Eos 600D, because a lot of buttons functions like the camera WB, ISO, already exists and does not need to go into the menu to change settings such as Nikon D5100. I think the Canon Eos 600D is also quite friendly to the beginner by generating a brief description of each function of the camera (though in English).

    Unlike Nikon D5100 and other beginners Nikon cameras, Canon Eos 600D also has an auto focus motor in the camera body, so any Canon EOS auto focus that can be installed. While the lens can auto focus on the Nikon D5100 only existing code AF-S, the new Nikon lenses that have focus motors. Such lenses are usually more expensive (but better quality than the old lenses).

    Another advantage of the Canon Eos 600D is the wireless flash feature, which allows us to organize and trigger the flash is released from the camera (off camera flash shoe) without requiring any accessories other triggers. While Nikon D5100 has been no such feature, which is in the Nikon D90 models or more sophisticated.

    Another difference

    Canon Eos  600D and Nikon D5100 features to process photos into artistic effects. Effects on the Canon Eos 600D, among others, soft focus, romantic, grainy black and white, miniature and others. Nikon D5100 also has effects such as miniature process photos, color sketch, high key, low key.

    Only one of the highlights Nikon D5100 is the effect of HDR (High Dynamic Range) is the camera will automatically take two images and then combine them into one image with bright dark detail photo more interesting.

    Both cameras have the same high-resolution swivel LCD, only the Canon Eos 600D has an aspect ratio of 3:2 in accordance with an aspect ratio of the image so the resolution is slightly higher. (900rb vs. 1 million).

    To record video, the Canon is still ahead in the creative side because we can adjust the exposure manually. In terms of video quality, is alike have been able to record video with very high resolution of 1080p / Full HD.

    However, in the video, the Nikon D5100 has advantages in auto focus when activating live view. Like the Nikon D3100 and D7000, D5100 features auto focus continuous or continuous. Nikon calls this the auto focus AF-F. How it works is when the camera detects the subject is not in focus, the camera will try to find the subject position and relock it. For me the locate not very practical because in the video there will be a "gap" or gaps between focused and unfocused. Looks like the manual focus would still be best if you want to record video with a DSLR camera.

    Conclusion

    Rewarded with a cheaper price than the Canon Eos 600D, Nikon D5100 is a significant competitor to the Canon Eos 600D among beginner and intermediate level photographers. Both cameras have the advantages disadvantages of each. Canon Eos 600D excels in video, and practical interface to use, while the Nikon D5100 excels in image quality, creative effects and price. Which one is best depends on the priorities of each.
