Verdict
Pick the Canon EOS 100D if you prioritize higher resolution, lighter weight, and Full HD video at a modest price premium. The Nikon D300 stays the better choice if you need faster burst shooting and can tolerate its heavier build, significantly lower resolution, and lack of video—all at half the cost.
