Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Nikon Z5, which was introduced in July 2020 is a Advanced Mirrorless camera with a 24.0MP Full frame sensor whereas Canon T8i, which was introduced in February 2020 is a Entry-Level DSLR camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor. There is only 5 months difference between Z5 and T8i so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting. Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Nikon Z5 is ranked
#5 out of 66 Advanced Mirrorless cameras with an overall score of 83 whereas Canon T8i is ranked
#6 out of 82 Entry-Level DSLR cameras with an overall score of 71.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Nikon Z5 and Canon T8i before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Nikon Z5 and Canon T8i compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
