Which DSLR Camera to buy Canon 700D(T5i) vs Nikon D5500?

Question

I am a beginner with DSLR.My purpose is nature photography and videos.

I searched over internet and found Canon 700D at much lower price but Nikon D5500 providing much more features. So I liked D5500, but Nikon does not have auto focus motor in body. So does it really matter ? Ans is Nikon D5500 worth of paying few more bucks over Canon 700D or shall I go with Canon 700D ?

So please suggest me. Thanks.

There is no problem in Nikon model not having AF motor in its body, as it's a matter of choosing the right glass to fit in. I suggest you to look here and learn a bit more about AF types. The choose of the gear is based on the job's needs, assuming both is on your budget. If you can't tell if that +features of one model over another are good enough for the cash difference, you should probably get the cheaper one and learn more in the way. Then you can exchange gear in the near future in a more educated decision.
