Best DSLR Brands for Video? Canon vs Nikon vs Sony vs Panasonic Cameras!

When you’re choosing a DSLR for video, it can be difficult to know where to start. There are some BIG differences between the major brands like Panasonic, Sony, Canon and Nikon! Choosing the ‘Best Camera Brand’ is not a clean cut decision though… Which is ‘Best’ is highly subjective, and what works for you may not work so well for others…

While all individual DSLR (and mirrorless) camera models are unique, each of the brands has it’s own approach to software, features and functionality that tend to carry across the range – meaning that some brands are better suited for some requirements and workflows than others.

Whether you’re in the market to purchase and looking to compare cameras & DSLR brands to find the best DSLR Camera for you, or you’re happy with your current model and just wondering what it’s like on ‘the other side’, then this video is designed to help provide an additional perspective.

I’ll be discussing my thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of each brand (Nikon vs Canon vs Panasonic vs Sony!) after using them all, including what I like and dislike about each to help you decide for yourself.

Of course, these are just my thoughts based on my own experience and preferences… No doubt what I dislike about certain brands, others will absolutely love!

We always get awesome feedback, suggestions and learn a TON from the community! I’d love to hear if you’ve had the same experience with each brand as me or not, and which you think is the best DSLR or camera brand, and why!
