Once again, Canon tight very fight against Nikon. On this occasion, you will see an interesting comparison between the Canon EOS 760D vs Nikon D5500, which is targeted at novice photographers, and anyone who wants to switch from a compact camera to DSLR cameras. Basically, the D5500 and the 760D has a great capacity for still photography as well as to make the video. Both Canon 760D and Nikon D5500 cameras have 24.0MP APS-C sensors.

Canon EOS 760D (Rebel T6S( that fills a segment for the advanced beginner photographer, does have similarities to the Canon EOS 70D. Meanwhile, the Nikon D5500 also in the same class there are also similarities with the Nikon D7100. As is known, the 70D and D7100 is an advanced camera which successful in the market.

It could be said that the EOS 760D is like a cheap version of the Canon EOS 70D, in many cases you will see the resemblance, especially in terms of auto focus feature, which consists of 19 points. 

Canon 760D has the ability Hybrid AF (during live view and when you record video), as well as Wireless Flash feature, two-wheel controls and an LCD screen at the top.

As a replacement of the 700D, then you will be happy to pick EOS 760D because there is a significant improvement, which is a new sensor 24 MP, the focal point of a 9 point increase to 19 points, virtual horizon (level), and codec MP4 for video, which is much more popular. 

If you look for weakness, then the EOS 760D is not reinforced with weather sealed, there is no Kelvin WB, can not use the manual flash (always should TTL), and is only equipped with a small viewfinder. However, when I tried it, the shortfall was not a big deal. Once you get used, then the Canon 760D is very qualified for indoor and outdoor shooting, so you can maximize the camera to make a video.
