Re: Any reason to choose T5i over D5300?

I choose the T5i over Nikon a while back simply cause i'd rather wanted to buy into Canon ecosystem than Nikon. Mainly because i prefer the layout and ergonomics of Canon cameras more (lets not start a flamewar whether Canon or Nikon is a better investment for the future).

Thanks! Much appreciated - I too enjoy the ergonomics of the Canon cameras that I've tried, but need to spend some more time comparing. What about the lenses? Did that factor into your decision or are the systems about the same there? I don't shoot video, sports, or wildlife - travel, portraits, and landscape is it for me.

With portraits it's a wash.
Landscape means Nikon.
The files have a lot more latitude in post.
Allowing you to underexpose to preserve the sky. And then boost your shadows to extract the details there.

This is simply impossible with a single shot with the Canon.
You have to shoot multiple bracketed exposures for the same result.
