If you're looking for a DSLR camera with fast connectivity with photographic capability and Full-HD video, then you can consider the Nikon D7200 or Canon EOS 70D. Canon 70D and Nikon D7200 are both medium-sized DSLR cameras competing in the world of photography, so Canon vs. Nikon more exciting. Both cameras have APS-C sized sensors but Canon 70D has a 20 MP and Nikon D7200 has a 24 MP resolution. Both of these sophisticated cameras, the Canon 70D and Nikon D7200 are ready for wireless connectivity with built-in Wi-Fi.

The EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera is the stylish successor to the Canon EOS 60D. With its 20.2 Megapixel APS-C CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 5+ Image Processor. With HD 1080p and SD video recording supported, capturing video is a breeze, and you can share your photos and videos instantly thanks to the integrated Wi-Fi. The Canon D70's exposure settings can be remotely controlled using the free Canon EOS Remote App for iOS and Android. Meanwhile, Nikon D7200 is feature-packed with several significant upgrades over its predecessor, the D7100. New features include built-in Wi-Fi, improved low-light performance with a native ISO range up to 25,600 that's boostable up to ISO 102,400, greater low-light sensitivity for its AF sensor, and a new Expeed 4 image processing engine.

According to the cameradecision.com, number of available lenses is an important decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When you look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Canon 70D has an advantage over Nikon D7200. 

There are 250 lenses for Canon 70D's Canon EF/EF-S mount, on the other hand there are only 236 lenses for Nikon D7200's Nikon F lens mount. Moreover, none of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 83 lenses for Canon EF/EF-S mount and 75 lenses for Nikon F mount with IS. However, you do not worry because you can search the Google search engine, where you can certainly get a third-party lenses that have been equipped with an image stabilizer, for example a lens manufactured by Tamron, Sigma or Tokina.

Nikon D7200 is 80g lighter than the Canon 70D but we don't think this will make a substantial difference; both Canon 70D and Nikon D7200 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
