it’s very light compared to my canon t3i takes great pictures

They both do you take great pictures, but from my experience the Nikon seemed to be more consistent

If 4k video is important to you, look elsewhere or wait a year or two for Canon to wake up and add it to their midrange cameras as well, but in the mean time for 1080p video and awesome pictures, this camera is hard to beat in this price range!

The camera is light and take great pictures.
