Canon EOS 70D vs. Nikon D5200 Specification Comparison
Nikon D5200 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed 3 processor. On the other hand, Canon 70D has a 20.0MP APS-C (22.5 x 15 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5+ processor. ... Of the two cameras that we are comparing, D5200 has scored 84, 16 points higher than 70D.
Canon EOS 70D Major Features
The EOS 70D is a mid-range SLR for enthusiast photographers that from the outside looks like a sensible, indeed desirable upgrade to the EOS 60D. It borrows many of the best bits from Canon's existing SLRs, including the autofocus sensor from the EOS 7D, the fully articulated touchscreen from the EOS 700D (Rebel T5i), and built-in Wi-Fi from the EOS 6D. But on the inside it sports an entirely new sensor that is, potentially, revolutionary. It offers 20.2MP resolution, but uses a 'Dual Pixel CMOS AF' design in which every single pixel is split into two separately-readable photodiodes, facing left and right. This means that in principle they are all capable of phase detection autofocus in live view and movie mode.
Major Features:
· 20.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
· DIGIC 5+ Image Processor
· Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Live View
· 3.0" 1,040k-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen
· Full HD 1080p Video with Move Servo AF
· Built-In Wireless Connectivity
· 19-Point All Cross-Type AF System
· Continuous Shooting Rate Up to 7 fps
· ISO 100-12800 (Expandable to ISO 25600)
· Scene Intelligent Auto Mode
Nikon D5200 Major Features
On the outside, the D5200 is virtually identical to its predecessor, the D5100, with external changes limited to a dedicated drive mode button on the D5200's top plate, stereo microphone grills atop the pentamirror - like on the Canon EOS 650D - and a slightly redesigned rear multi selector. The D5200's more significant upgrades lie 'under the hood'. Impressively, many of these are inherited from higher-end Nikon DSLRs, including a 39-point AF system with 9 cross-type sensors and ample frame coverage, and a 2016 pixel RGB color-sensitive metering sensor, both taken from the D7000. The D5200 borrows from the D7100 a well-implemented Auto ISO feature that is tied to the lens' current focal length.
