Canon eos 70d vs canon 7d vs nikon d7000?

[Shark Dentist]

The canon 7d and nikon d7000 is on sale on amazon atm..
so what's better in terms of video quality?

Nikon of course, Canons' are overpriced and their sensors are left far behind Nikons, try dxomark.com to confirm.

The D5100 does not record 60fps. According to the specs for the Canon 600D (T3i) it will shoot 60p @ 1280x720. Reviews for Expedite electronics is mixed at best. The biggest complaint that I saw was on delivery which is reportedly very slow. Customers complain that the money is withdrawn right away but shipment is extremely slow. There were also a couple of comments about an item being listed as in stock on the web site only to receive a message that the item is out of stock.

I didn't pick one because I don't know how much you have budgeted for a tripod.

Oh right! So they'd all work with the d5100? I thought you'd have to buy a DSLR-specific tripod.
Think I'm going to get this,will it be compatible? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Konig-Traveller-Camera-Camcorder-Tripod/dp/B0017PEBZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418412587&sr=8-1&keywords=tripod

I have a chance of buying a Nikon D5300 on ebay.co.uk from a seller located in Hong Kong for £369 with an 18-55m lens. The seller has loads of positive seller feedback so I don't think it's a scam.
What do you think?

To answer the first question: It should work but not sure how sturdy it will be. You may want to add some weight to the legs to help stabilize it. That would be fine a point-and-shoot camera. Personally, I would go with a sturdier tripod.

This one might be a better choice: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Velbon-DF-61-Heavy-Aluminium-Tripod/dp/B00B1Q5R2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418417290&sr=8-1&keywords=Magnus+VT-300+Video+Tripod+with+Fluid+Head

As for the second question: I've never purchased a camera off of e-bay and I don't know the seller so I'm not the best person to advise you on this. If you are comfortable with this seller then go for it.

Do you know how long it usually takes a package to get from Hong Kong to europe?

I have no idea. I would ask the seller what shipping method he uses and try to determine it based on that information.

I'd personally go with the Canon myself as I love it... Are you sure that the Hong Kong Nikon D5300 is legit? Positive feedback doesn't mean too much in my opinion.

I'm not sure,he seems pretty legit.. He's been on Ebay since 2006 with a few thousand positive feedbacks and 2 neutral. I think I'll pass on getting it from Hong Kong tho because I've heard it takes a few weeks to arrive and I need the cam for christmas. D:

 

[Shark Dentist]

Think I'll just get the d5100 now and sell it for a better cam in march. :|

 

[kenrivers]

Glad to hear you have made a decision. I think the experience will be better than you think.

 

[Shark Dentist]

And the very last question before I drive you mad lol... Does the D5100 shoot in 1080p 30fps or 24fps?.. I 've heard both :|

I'm thinking I should order the d5300 from that seller :| I think I asked this before but are most items coming from Hong Kong counterfeit?

+ Do you know how customs would work? do the customs offcie hold the package until I pay the tax?

I wish I could answer those questions but I have never ordered from Hong Kong or had to pick up anything from customs. Check with your local customs office.

Hey guys! I bought a D5300 off Amazon (haven't turned it on yet) but I'm really happy with my purchase so far! I was wondering if you could link me a few bits of equipment for it on Amazon? SD card,tripod and strap? the cheaper the better I'm not sure how big the SD card should be so just link me one you'd recommend.. thanks!

 

[kenrivers]

Glad to hear you got what you wanted.

Alright. I guess you could look for it locally.
