Nikon D7100 vs Canon 70D | Prosumer Showdown:
Both Canon and Nikon now have their new Prosumer cameras on the market now, but which one takes the cake? The Nikon D7100 is Nikon's top of the line crop sensor body boasting many pro features and a partial magnesium alloy body. The Canon 70D is Canon's latest crop sensor body (the rumored and expected 7D Mark II would be the top of their line crop body). Both cameras are popular choices for semi-pro and advanced amateurs looking for pro features at a consumer price.
