I have photographed extensively with both cameras in a wide variety of situations. In this video, I would like to help you make a purchase decision. It covers topics relevant to wildlife photography such as image quality, rolling shutter, continuous shooting, buffer, autofocus and, of course, camera operation and configuration.

You can buy both cameras here (affiliate links):
