IMO, either 60D or D7000 is a better choice. But if you want to stick with "new", other than the models you have narrowed down, there is D3300. Weigh their features and buy the one you like.

700D with 18-55mm STM lens can be had for within 42K IC,convert that to NC.Best is to head over to Kolkata/Siliguri, buy, cross Silla and get in. That hybrid sensor is is excellent in AF and low light too.D5300 is very good too but somehow I love that Canon for the extra control it offers. You won't go wrong with either. Just remember its the Lens and You who makes the most difference for a good shot to be great!

Any DSLR is a waste in video photography. I have seen em all ! Low light video is a disgrace. All this when compared to a NEX3/5 mirrorless.

600D,7D,70D,5DMK2 [MENTION=128954]sujoy[/MENTION] they all are noisy in low light where as the mirroless from Sony's are way better much better. All this talk of Canon is better in DSLR video over Nikon is bullcrap. Canon might be better but that better is bitter.

[MENTION=128954]sujoy[/MENTION] Yes sony is still the king of the hill from video quality to HD Video compression.

Make sure that 700D has STM kit lens.

^ No, it wouldn't shoot up your budget. The basic kit lens is STM lens. Inci just wants you to make sure that the seller is giving STM lens (Not the older one "Non STM lens")
