First DSLR

[stanknight]

Hi guys, planning to get my first DSLR. Did quite a few research.. and come up with these models.

1) EOS 650D Kit II (EF S18-135 IS STM)
2) EOS 650D/700D Kit (EF S18-55 IS II)

Basically should i go for 18-135mm or 18-55mm is good enough?
Want to use for travel, can take good landscape photos, good video quality, easier to navigate the functions.

Or should i look at Nikon D5200?

and one more thing, night shots very important as well. Planning to go HKG so can take a good picture from the peak during night time. Thanks!

The Nikon D5200 has a pretty positive review as well. Most reviews state that the D5200 is better for Dynamic Range (Vivid colors) and also noise performance (images are much cleaner than the 650D/700D).

For me, I still have a preference for Canon for its user friendliness - looking at the Canon 700D 18-135mm STM kit actually. The 18-135mm is a perfect range as a walk around lens in my humble opinion though you did sacrifice a little on image quality.
