Canon EOS Rebel T8i vs Nikon D300

6x crop sensor plus a 2x crop for 4k video. I recorded to a Ninja V (mainly to be able to break the 30 minute mark). Footage looks good for the price on an entry level camera. Not a huge dynamic range, but it looks good, especially after being able to dial things in with the tools on the Ninja V

It might be better to get a D300s instead of a D300 because that'll give you video (not that its good in any way, but hey, its an option you'll have) and also supports dual SD/CF card slots -- useful for backups or RAW+JPEG modes.

Always fuzzy. This is my issue, not the camera's I’m sure. Or so I thought but upon reading many Canon lens reviews I find a common thread among some is the auto focus either doesn’t work or stops working. The camera body is surprisingly light although for my smaller women’s hands I find it a little awkward, especially the shutter button

Calm now the D 300 may have a very detailed screen on the top. But if you press the info button, why are you taking a picture? You can actually displa...

You could really even look at a t7, same camera really, big drawback is no flip screen but it’s less than half the price, otherwise just get the t8i or sl3 you will be able to take fantastic photos with any of them, modern camera sensors are so good and that is a decent kit lens, you can add an ef-s 55-250 is stm lens as well if you want a nice telephoto zoom to complete the kit. You will be more than happy with the quality of images you can produce, the only limitation will really be your technique,.

For those wanting exemplary image quality with much of what the D300 offers but for significantly less money: Canon offers the popularCanon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) and Nikon now has attractive pricing for its popular D200, the fine camera that the D300 updated in late 2007Nikon D200 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) . It has also earned many loyal followers and has a very solid build

The flip screen is definitely a bigggg plus! Also it comes with a lot of easy setting for beginners. I don’t use them often but they do come in handy here and there. I prefer shooting in RAW and in Manual. But even if you are still learning the auto settings are pretty dope! I also love how I can’t transfer photos without removing my SD card! The only reason why this didn’t get 5 stars is because it came with the wrong battery charger! I received a LC-E12 charger instead of an LC-E17

Button help lock button I'll zoom in ok button. Your multi selector life.you button info button. Your focus area got your job back front down as well ...

Partner it with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM for portrait work and you're on to a winner.

Also this machine requires good lenses to maximize it's potential; the 18-200 VR Nikkor that works so well on my D70S seems softer on the D300. Heavily recommended for: Those who have Nikon cameras and have maxxed out the possibilities with those machines and are looking for greater challenges. The D300 will support Nikkor lenses made since 1959 (although the ones made before 1977 may need a minor, inexpensive modification to fit on the D300). Not all older lenses, of course, support auto-focus

I do like that it is pretty lightweight and for a female it just means she might use it more because it's easier to carry. Now I do like that on the T8i getting lenses are pretty easy and don't really need many accessories for it. Another concern of mine is night time photography. I'm not sure if it's the lenses that really matters but taking pictures of the night sky and star exposures is something that stands out as well, and in that regards I don't know which is better

The weight and feel of the d300, even with the lens attached it is very comfortable. It's got a solid feel to it definitely feels good [, Music ] powe...

I researched for months on great entry level camera and I am a Canon person. This meets everything I need. Camera is perfect if you want it to do camera and video. I did not need big 4k video so this one worked great

After looking at some other commenters I would have to emphasize heavily on getting the cheapest camera possible for a good lens. The D7000 and D200 are both great candidates, but may be a bit too old. I would really push you towards the D7100 in most regards, but for price and build the D300 is hard to beat. Get yourself a D300, and a good FX lens

The editing software from Canon is also great. The first pic is with a 24mm prime lens and the second and third pic is a 50mm prime. All were edited in Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4. The fourth is the 18-55 lens that comes with the camera and not edited (It's the first day I went out to use the camera)

Seriously, for anyone who can't afford high-end f/1.4 primes (not counting the Nikkor 50/1.4G, which is about the same price), the Tamron 45mm is easily the next best thing in its focal length range. This is an unpopular opinion, but only because so few people have given the lens a chance
