What is Each Best For? – Nikon D5200 vs Canon 1300D

Common Features – Nikon D5200 vs Canon 1300D

 In this section, we discuss the common features of the D5200 and the 1300D in detail as we discover how similar they are.

The D5200 and the 1300D have the following similarities:

i. Sensor Format and Type

ii. Anti-Aliasing Filter

iii. Viewfinder

iv. Screen Size

v. Battery Life

vi. Video Recording

vii. Built-in Flash

viii. Hot Shoe (External Flash)

ix. HDMI Port

x. USB Port

Sensor Format and Type

The first similarity between these cameras is that both cameras make use of the same sensor format and type.

The Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D both make use of the APS-C sensor format. The Nikon Company prefers to refer to this sensor format as the DX-format.

Furthermore, these cameras also make use of the CMOS sensor type.

The fact that these cameras possess this kind of sensor is a common occurrence that is found in amateur DSLR cameras like the ones in this article. It is fitting as the APS-C sensor format is regarded as medium-sized.

The size of a sensor also plays a major role in determining the overall image quality. We discuss the extent to which a sensor’s size influences the image produced later on.

It is of importance that we understand that due to the similarity in sensor type, both cameras will sport lenses with the same size and weight.

Anti-Aliasing Filter

The anti-aliasing filter is found in front of a camera’s sensor. The presence or absence of this filter has a significant effect on the details your camera will capture.

This filter is present to prevent the occurrence of moiré in your shots.

Cameras that possess the anti-aliasing filter do not capture many details like one without it.

Most photographers prefer cameras without this feature as the importance of a detailed image cannot be overemphasized. Many users don’t take the anti-aliasing filter seriously because such occurrences don’t happen often. 

The Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D are both fitted with the anti-aliasing filter feature.

Viewfinder

The viewfinder is used to control a shot so that it will not be out of frame.

The Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D both make use of an optical pentamirror viewfinder.

Most cameras are either fitted with a digital or an optical viewfinder.

The optical viewfinder has an advantage over the digital viewfinder as it doesn’t consume power. Also, this viewfinder type is useful when capturing a shot in a well-lit environment. The result is a clear image is obtained.

The use of a pentamirror material instead of a pentaprism is a disadvantage for these cameras. The pentamirror allows less light to get into the viewfinder hence the transmitted image is not bright.

These cameras also both provide a similar 95% field of view. However, the Nikon D5200 has a magnification of 0.51x while the Canon 1300D has 0.50x magnification.

The magnification feature enables the transmitted image to look closer to the same size when it is looked at with the human eye.

Screen Size

The screen of a camera displays the camera’s menu, shooting options, and general settings and information.

Both cameras in this comparison sport 3 inches non-touch LCD screen. This is remarkable for amateur DSLR cameras such as these. With this screen size, users of the Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D can view what the screen displays more clearly.

Furthermore, a big screen is essential for editing purposes. One can easily detect angles and areas that need editing with a larger screen rather than a smaller one.

Battery Life

This is one interesting common feature of both cameras. Out of the many camera comparisons, rarely do cameras possess the same battery life especially when making use of different batteries altogether.

Nevertheless, the Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D are both capable of shooting 500 frames after they are fully charged.

The former is fitted with an EN-EL14 power pack battery while the latter employs the LP-E10 power pack battery.

Video Recording

The Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D are not only capable of capturing still images but can also capture videos.

These cameras can shoot a maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1080 full HD.

Also, the formats in which they can shoot are the same as both can capture videos in either MPEG-4 or H.264.

Built-in Flash

The built-in flash feature is a necessity that enables one capture images in low light conditions: Since light is a prerequisite for good image quality.

The presence of a built-in flash eliminates the constant need to be with an external flash which ultimately adds to the overall weight of your camera.

The Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D boast of this built-in flash feature.

Learn how to set flash mode on the Nikon D5200 in the video below.

Hot Shoe (External Flash)

Even though the presence of a built-in flash eliminates the need for an external flash, using one is of more advantage. This because the external flash is capable of producing more lighting than what the built-in flash can offer.

Nevertheless, to use an external flash, your camera must possess the hot shoe feature. The hot shoe is a platform that allows accessories to be attached to the camera and it is usually found on top of the camera.

The Nikon D500 and the Canon 1300D both possess this feature. We can confidently say that the external flash will make your photography much more enhanced.

We are even more confident of the Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite’s ability to give you the perfect lighting you desire.

HDMI Port

Both cameras can connect to other larger screens via an HDMI cable. This cable is usually connected to the HDMI port of these cameras.

Thanks to this feature, one can easily review, monitor video or even images when viewed on a larger screen. As we said, viewing images on a larger screen is advantageous for editing purposes.  

The Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D are both fitted with a Mini HDMI port.

USB Port

Another port that is found in both cameras is the USB 2.0 port. With this port, these cameras can be connected to other devices via a USB cable. Also, the transfer of files can be made from the cameras to the device and vice versa. The transfer speed of files when using this cable is 480Mbit/sec

Unique Features – Nikon D5200 vs Canon 1300D

In this section, we examine the features that are found in one of these cameras and not in the other. This section will inform you greatly.

Unique Features – Nikon D5200

The following are the features that the D5200 has that the 1300D does not have:

i. Articulating Screen
ii. Built-in Intervalometer
iii. UHS Card Support
iv. Microphone Port           
v. EXPEED 3 Image Processor
vi. Slow Motion Videos

Articulating Screen

The Nikon D5200 has a fully articulating screen feature. This means that the display screen of the camera can be turned, tilted, and swiveled.

This feature has its perks as it is a great plus for anyone involved in photography that demands the capturing of nearly impossible angles. With the aid of this feature, capturing such angles is made possible.

Two types of photographers that will benefit a lot from this feature are street photographers and wildlife photographers. Another set of folks that will love this feature are vloggers. Lastly, anyone that loves taking selfies will find a new true love in the Nikon D5200.

Built-in Intervalometer

The built-in intervalometer feature is used to create time-lapse videos. Time-lapse videos are made from different images of a particular subject that have been captured at different time intervals.

These pictures are then put together in video format to show the changes that have happened as time progressed.

The Nikon D5200 has this amazing feature which allows the user to further discover and display his/her creativity.

UHS Card Support

The Nikon D5200, unlike the Canon 1300D supports the use of the UHS cards; more specifically UHS-1 cards. The advantage this card offers is that one can carry out several file functions at Ultra High Speeds. The camera user can easily transfer files with this card at a speed of 104 MB/s.

Microphone Port           

The Nikon D5200 comes with a microphone port feature that allows an external microphone to be connected to the camera. The purpose of this is to enable the camera’s recording of quality audio.

Does this mean the camera cannot record audio during a video shoot? On the contrary, it can. However, the built-in microphone fitted in most cameras doesn’t produce quality audio. This is why the microphone port feature is important.

If you need a recommendation for a suitable and incredible external microphone, allow us to present to you the Movo VXR10 Universal Video Microphone.

EXPEED 3 Image Processor

The Nikon D5200 sports the Nikon EXPEED 3 image processor. The EXPEED 3 is the third generation of camera processors manufactured by the Nikon Company.

This processor is suitable for an entry-level camera like the D5200 as it allows the camera capture image at a speed appropriate for its level. It also contributes to the detailed production of images made by the camera.

Slow Motion Videos

The Nikon D5200 can shoot videos in slow motion. This brings about a spice during video recording.

Unique Features – Canon 1300D

The following are the features that the 1300D has that the D5200 does not have:

i. Built-in Wi-Fi
ii. NFC (Near Field Communication) Technology
iii. DIGIC 4+ Image Processor

Built-in Wi-Fi

The Canon 1300D is fitted with a built-in Wi-Fi feature. This is a good connectivity advantage for this camera.

With this feature, other supported devices can wirelessly connect to the camera thereby allowing the transfer of files to these devices or the camera. 

Furthermore, the camera’s images and videos can be directly shared to social media platforms from the camera. This eliminates the need to transfer the files first to your smartphone or personal computer.

NFC (Near Field Communication) Technology

The near field communication in association with the built-in Wi-Fi allows you to sync your camera with a supported device. This device is usually a smartphone or tablet. When this is done, file sharing can be easily done between the camera and the device.

DIGIC 4+ Image Processor

The Canon 1300D also makes use of its own manufacturer’s image processor. The DIGIC 4+ is the DIGIC image processor that runs the 1300D.

This processor enables the camera to operate at a suitable processing speed. It also allows a better and clear definition of the image’s colors, contrast, and saturation.

Unique Pros – Nikon D5200 vs Canon 1300D

This section informs you of the advantages these cameras have over the other in terms of common features they possess.

Unique Pros – Nikon D5200

Which has a Faster Video Frame Rate D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 has a faster video frame rate than the 1300D although both cameras can shoot videos at the same maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 Full HD. It records at a speed of 1080/60p while the Canon 1300D can record at 1080/30p frame rate.

Most DSLR cameras including entry-level cameras are capable of recording videos apart from capturing still images. This is the case with the Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D as we discussed in the common features section earlier.

Watch the video below to learn how to set up the Nikon D5200 to shoot videos.

Which has a Faster Continuous Shooting Speed D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 has a faster continuous shooting speed than the 1300D. It can capture 2 more frames thanks to its continuous shooting speed of 5 frames per second. The Canon 1300D, on the other hand, can only manage 3 frames per second.

The burst mode also known as continuous shooting mode allows a photographer to capture several pictures non-stop for some time.

This feature has become widely appreciated by many photographers especially sports and wildlife photographers.

The effectiveness of a camera’s burst mode is dependent on its continuous shooting speed. The continuous shooting speed simply put is the number of images a camera can capture per second.

Which is Smaller D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 is about 3 percent smaller than the 1300D. It has a dimension of 129 x 98 x 78 mm while the Canon 1300D has a dimension of 129 x 101 x 78 mm.

Size is a big deal when we discuss the features of a camera. However, unlike so many things in this world, smaller is better in the camera world: Although some might argue with this fact.

There are some obvious reasons why we, as well as many professionals, prefer smaller cameras. Chief among these reasons is portability. A smaller camera can be carried about easily and can be readily packed along when going on a trip.

Another reason is convenience. Bulky cameras tend to be burdensome especially if the camera is used to capture images for a long period. This is why most daily photographers prefer smaller cameras as their line of work requires them to shoot for long.

Besides, most of the gadgets used today are becoming smaller day by day. This is the technological trend unlike in the past when cameras were so large. 

Which has a Larger Sensor D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 has a larger sensor than the 1300D even though they use the same APS-C CMOS sensors.

It has a 23.5 x 15.6 mm sensor while the Canon 1300D has a sensor size of 22.3 x 14.9 mm (That’s about 11 percent bigger).

This difference in sensor size is responsible for the disparity in the format factor (aka crop factor) of both cameras. The Nikon D5200 has a format factor of 1.5 while the Canon 1300D has a format factor of 1.6.

The native aspect ratios for both sensors, however, remain the same at 3:2. The native aspect ratio is the ratio of the sensor’s width to its height and in this case, both have a ratio of 3:2.

We mentioned earlier that the size of a camera’s sensor also influences certain factors that are responsible for quality image production. Therefore, let’s briefly look at the extent to which this influence is exerted.

The first aspect that is influenced by the sensor’s size is the sensor’s performance level.

The three factors that determine the sensor’s performance are enhanced when a larger sensor is used by a camera. These factors are the camera’s color depth, dynamic range, and low light ISO. In essence, your sensor is more efficient if the sensor is larger.

Larger sensors have more surface area which enables them to capture more light.

Furthermore, a larger sensor allows for better depth of field control. The user of a camera with a larger sensor can isolate a subject from its background with much ease than the person with a smaller sensor. However, to attain this, he/she must use a shallow depth of field.

The disadvantage of a larger sensor is that it is usually more heavy and expensive than smaller ones. This usually has little effect on the overall weight of the camera. Also, since they are expensive to manufacture their cost could affect the final camera’s price.

When we examine the cameras in this comparison, we discover that the Nikon D5200 is heavier of the two. We do not imply that the sensor size is the major reason, however, it has a minute influence since the difference between both cameras’ sensors isn’t that much.

In the same vein, the fact that the Canon 1300D is cheaper does not mean the sensor size is the sole reason; albeit a contributing factor.

Which has a Higher Sensor Resolution D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 has a higher sensor resolution than the 1300D. It has a sensor resolution of 24.1 megapixels. The Canon 1300D, on the other hand, has just 17.9 megapixels. Therefore, the D5200 has 33% more megapixels than the 1300D.

If there’s any feature that is usually the major talk of a camera among many camera users; then it must be the sensor resolution.

The sensor resolution has this prestige because it determines the number of details the sensor can effectively discover as well as capture. The sensor resolution is measured in megapixels hence it is also referred to as the megapixels of the camera.

A camera with a higher megapixel is bound to produce better-detailed image quality. Furthermore, cropping of images can be easily done with cameras that possess higher sensor resolution.

We must mention that making use of a camera with high megapixels means your images will take up more storage.

Furthermore, more pixels located on the same surface area of your sensor can cause grain or noise. This mostly occurs when the shot is taken at a very high ISO setting or when there is too much light sensitivity.

Which has a Better Sensor Performance D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 has a better sensor performance than the 1300D. The overall sensor performance score for the Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D stands at 84 and 66 respectively.

The Nikon D5200 has 24.2 bits color depth while the Canon 1300D has 22.0 bits color depth. 

The Nikon D5200 has a dynamic range value of 13.9EV while the Canon 1300D has an 11.7EV dynamic range value.

The Nikon D5200 has a low light ISO of 1284, while the Canon 1300d has a low light ISO of 781.

Apart from the sensor resolution of a camera, there are other aspects of the sensor that determines its performance level.

These aspects or factors are the color depth, the dynamic range, and the low light ISO. The overall score gotten when these factors are put together reflects the sensor’s performance score.

The tests that obtained the eventual results for these cameras’ sensors were carried out by the DXO mark company.

The first factor which is the color depth deals with the number of individual colors a sensor can efficiently record. Due to its influence when it comes to portrait images, it is also referred to as the DXO portrait.

The next factor is the dynamic range which deals with the sensor’s ability to capture details within the lightest and darkest points within the frame.

This feature comes into play when capturing landscape hence it is also called the DXO landscape.

Last but not least is the low light ISO. This refers to the sensor’s sensitivity in capturing clear images despite low lightning conditions.

Cameras that have a higher low light ISO are more equipped to shoot indoors as well as capture sports events. Hence, the low light ISO is also referred to as DXO sports.

The next video will teach you how to clean your camera’s sensor.

Which has a Better Screen Resolution D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 has a better screen resolution than the 1300D. The Nikon D5200’s screen can display 921,000 dots while the 1300D can display 920,000 dots. This means there is just a slight difference of 1,000 dots which might not be noticeable.

In case you’re wondering what the screen resolution is, we’ll tell you.

Just like the sensor resolution deals with details so also does the screen resolution. In this case, it deals with the number of details a screen can effectively display and it is usually measured in dots.

The fact that two cameras possess the same screen size does not automatically mean they will have the same screen resolution. This is true for the cameras in this article that possess the same 3.0 inches screen size.

We must explain that screen resolution does not affect the true resolution of an image. The true resolution of an image is the sensor resolution.

Therefore, the screen resolution has no business with the number of details that are seen when an image is printed out.

The details of an image will vary when seen from screen to screen, however, the true details do not change.

Which has a Higher Pixel Density D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 has a higher pixel density than the 1300D. The Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D have a pixel density of 6.59 MP/cm2 and 5.43 MP/cm2. This means the D5200 has about 1.16µm and 21% more pixel density than the 1300D.  

A camera’s pixel density determines how many million pixels would fit into one square centimeter of the sensor.

Higher pixel density results in smaller pixels and lower pixel density results in larger pixels.

Which has More Focus Points D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 has 30 more focus points than the 1300D. The Nikon D5200 and the Canon 1300D have 39 and 9 focus points respectively.

The flexibility and strength of an autofocus system are determined by the number of focus points possessed and their positions.

When multiple focus points are used at a time, the focus of the image is enhanced. This enables better isolation when focusing on a point within the frame.

These focus points can be automatically or manually selected.

Let us mention that the focus point accuracy is dependent on your lens’ aperture.

Which has More Cross Type Focus Points D5200 or 1300D?

The Nikon D5200 has more cross-type focus points than the 1300D. It has 9 cross-type focus points while the Canon 1300D has just 1.

Cross-type focus points are focus points that can read details in vertical and horizontal lines. This type of focus points also makes up the total number of focus points we just discussed above.

Which has a Longer Flash Coverage D5200 or 1300D?

The D5200 has a longer flash coverage than the 1300D. The Nikon D5200’s flash can reach a distance of 12m while that of the Canon 1300D reaches just 9.2m. This is achieved when both cameras shoot at 100 ISO.

Therefore, the D5200 has a longer coverage of 2.8m which gives it the edge in this regard.

Both cameras are fitted with a built-in flash feature that allows these cameras to capture in low light conditions.

Unique Pros – Canon 1300D    

Which has a Higher Maximum ISO 1300D or D5200?

The 1300D has a higher maximum ISO than the D5200. It has a maximum value of 12800 ISO while the Nikon D5200 has a maximum value of 6400 ISO. That means the Canon 1300D has twice the maximum ISO of the Nikon D5200.

When we compare the Nikon D5200 with the Canon 1300D, we discover both cameras possess the same minimum ISO value of 100.

The ISO is a measure of the sensitivity of a camera’s sensor to light. For every camera, there is a minimum ISO value as well as a maximum ISO value.

A higher maximum ISO range means higher sensor sensitivity while a lower maximum ISO value means lower sensor sensitivity. 

One would imagine that since the Canon 1300D already has the higher maximum ISO, that it should do the same when they both are boosted/expanded. Unfortunately for the 1300D and fortunately for the D5200 that is not the case.

When both cameras’ ISOs are expanded, they Canon 1300d and the Nikon D5200 have a maximum expanded ISO of 25600.

A bit of important advice you need to put to mind is that high ISO can cause grain and noise in your pictures. Therefore, be careful when setting your ISO at such high values.

Which is Lighter 1300D or D5200?

The 1300D is lighter than the D5200. It weighs 485g while the Nikon D5200 weighs 555g. Hence, the Canon 1300D has the advantage of 70g (13%) lesser weight.

A camera is a tool that one carries along as he/she works. And like many tools we make use of, we prefer them light. This is so that they don’t become a burden in the process and make the whole job a tiring ordeal.

Nevertheless, the lightweight of cameras like the Canon 1300D may feel kind of imbalanced when used with a longer lens.

Which has a Larger Pixel Pitch 1300d or D5200?

The 1300D has a larger pixel pitch than the D5200. The Canon 1300D and the Nikon D5200 have 4.31µm vs 3.91µm pixel pitch respectively. Hence, the 1300D is 0.40µm (10%) larger.

Pixel pitch refers to the distance between an individual pixel’s center to that of the closest individual pixel. In other words, it is a measure of how near the individual pixels in your sensor are to one another.

A larger pixel pitch means larger individual pixels and the further they are from one another. The pixel pitch of a camera helps in acquiring a better noise ratio signal and a higher dynamic range. 

The video below discusses more on pixel pitch.

Which has a Larger Pixel Area 1300D or D5200?

The 1300D has a larger pixel area than the D5200. The Canon 1300D and the Nikon D5200 have 18.54µm2 vs 15.21µm2 respectively. Therefore, the 1300D is 3.19µm2 (21%) larger.

The pixel area of a sensor influences the amount of light each pixel can capture. The larger the pixel area, the higher the amount of light an individual pixel can capture.

A camera that has larger pixels is bound to capture more photons which in turn increases the camera’s dynamic range. On the other hand, cameras with smaller pixels usually have higher sensor resolutions.

Which has More Available Lenses 1300D or D5200?

The 1300D has 17 more native lenses and 3 more optical stabilization lenses than the D5200.

The Canon 1300D is fitted with the Canon EF/EF-S lens mount which allows it to make use of 319 native lenses and 91 optical stabilization lenses.

While the Nikon D5200 employs the Nikon F lens mount which allows the usage of 302 optical stabilization lenses and 88 optical stabilization lenses.

Which is Newer 1300D or D5200?

The Canon 1300D is newer than the Nikon D5200 by 3 years and 4 months.

Newer cameras tend to benefit from newer technological advancements that weren’t in existence when older cameras were manufactured. This is an obvious edge for such new cameras.

Which is Cheaper 1300D or D5200?

The Canon 1300D is cheaper than the Nikon D5200 by 40%. This is taking into account the launch price of both cameras. The 40% is a big difference which those on a tight budget will truly appreciate.

However, the Nikon D5200 is the more discounted camera as it has been in the market for 3 years and 4 months longer.
