Camera

Nikon D3500 was released in August 2018 & Canon T7 in February 2018. Both are two good cameras with some Common features & also some differences. If you are looking for the best one between them I would suggest the Nikon D3500. 

Why do I suggest Nikon D3500?

  • Nikon D3500 has 11 focus points, and its competitor Canon T7 has 9. Suppose you are in a function and want to capture a group photo where every face is perfectly focused, If you are using Nikon D3500 you can focus up to 11 people’s faces, and if you are using a Canon t7 you can focus up to 9, and the 10th will be blurred.
  • Its continuous shooting speed is 5 fps, Which means it can take up to 5 pictures in a second whereas Canon t7 can take up to 8.  This feature helps to Capture perfect shoot of fast-moving objects like Racing bikes.
  • Nikon D3500 can record (1920 x 1080) Full HD Video at 60 frames per second and it has an Expeed 4 processor that helps to focus faster on objects, but the Canon t7 Can record at 30 frames per second. When it’s about recording still objects or slow-moving objects 30fps is okay but if it’s a racing car or bike, it’s impossible to record with 30fps you must need 60 fps.
  • Nikon D3500 has HDR mode (high dynamic range). The human eye has a very high dynamic range that is why we can see details in both shadows and highlights, Same way Nikon D3500 can See and Capture detailed images in shadows and highlights. Canon T7 doesn’t have HDR mode.
  • The Max ISO of the Nikon D3500 is 25,600 and Canon T7 is 6500 which means you will get 3 times better performance with Nikon D3500 when you are doing photography at the night or in low light.
  • The battery power of the Nikon D3500 is super it can shoot 1550 pictures on a single charge whereas Canon T7 can shoot only 500. So you don’t need to charge it again and again.
  • You will get panorama mode Nikon D3500, which allows you to capture more of the scene by combining images to create a panoramic photo, but Canon t7 Doesn’t have it.

I think you already made your decision and now you know why Nikon D3500 is the best option between these two. If you want better performance and better features then Nikon D3500 is the option that gonna worth your investment.
