70D vs D3300 is not a fair comparison. 70D has features geared towards enthusiasts such as articulating screen, more AF points, weather sealing, mg-ally body, pentaprism viewfinder, etc. If these features are not important to you, you can choose the cheaper 700D for about ~$600. However, I do agree that for entry level cameras, Nikon cameras tend to provide more value for money.



But why the 70D still not filming at 60fps in 1080p ? Canon is in such market dominance, they probably do this to keep the semi-pro market on the prohibitive 5D Mark IV.

The consumer Market needs to know these kind of things, but there's no user-friendly website for comparing objectivly products. Just Amazon reviews, "Tech websites" and the Wallmart seller.

If you want video you should really be using Canon's dedicated cameras or something more video focused like Panasonic's GH4/GH5. Even the 5D MkIV is very limited when it comes to video. It has some nice lenses but for the $3300 price of a MkIV you can get a Panasonic GH5 and an Atomos Ninja Inferno, which allows you to do 4K@60p 10-bit ProRes and HDR. Even without the Ninja Inferno, you can do 4K@60p 8-bit, 4K@30p 10-bit or 1080@60p 10-bit at 2/3rds the price.


Ken Rockwell, whatever one may think of him otherwise, does a very good job detailing the characteristics of pretty much all the camera gear. He's not to be taken too seriously in general, but I have yet to find a case where he's genuinely wrong on the facts, and I found his website very useful in deciding which DSLR would best suit me.
