Nikon for video Mon 13 Mar 2017 15:48:13 No.3038442 View View Reply Original Report

I have a nikon d3300, which I used to use for photo but I now do more video work.

I saw the d5500 and it runs 1080p60 as opposed to the 1080p30 on the d3300.

I know that Canon is better for video but I have a lot of lenses for Nikon and I don't want them to go to waste, plus I don't have the money for a bunch of new lenses.

So /p/, whats the verdict on shooting video with Nikon?

"Canon is better for video" is a meme. The 5D Mark II was fantastic, which is why most people think canon = video, when the truth is Canon DSLRs aren't really too different performance wise from Nikon in general. I'd even argue that Nikons are slightly better in the moire/aliasing department.

Of course there is Magic Lantern but that's something I don't think people should be messing around with on entry level DSLRs anyway, other than maybe for peaking, and zebras.

D3300 is actually one of the best cameras in Nikon's catalogue for video, and yes, that includes full frame cameras such as the D810.

1080p @ 60fps, external microphone input, no low pass filter yet it has less moire than most cameras out there. The only con for me is the lack of apperture control while on live view, which can be fixed with a fully manual lens (manual focus and apperture); if you take videography seriously you'll be manually focussing anyway...

>To sum up: get good and stop being such a gearfag.

Get a Lumix G7 or G80/85 for video and keep the D3300 for stills
