Canon eos 7d mark ii vs nikon d5300?

Both are APS-C DSLRs, so they frame similarly. The Canon EOS 7D Mark II has a 20.2-megapixel sensor with a 1.6 crop factor. The Nikon D5300 has 24.2 megapixels and a 1.5 crop factor. Neither has stabilisation in the body, so pair either with stabilised lenses for slow shutter speeds.

For wildlife and sport, I'd pick the 7D Mark II. It's the tougher, faster body. Good partners include:

• Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM
• Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM
• Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports

For more general shooting, the D5300 and its higher resolution is a sensible choice, especially with the Nikon AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II for everyday use. Not sure what the crop factors mean? The sensor sizes guide explains them.
