I'm sorry, I wasn't asking for a description of video quality, I was asking for a straight forward answer from people who have experience with these things if one was substantially better at a cinematic style than the other, since the sensors do differ, but only very slightly... and the firmware is the same. The YouTube videos gave me a good idea of what both can offer, but I was just making sure no one was going to say "NO, DO NOT TRY TO SHOOT FILM ON A D3300...", etc... as I have read people say that about the Canon T5, but not the T5i.
Either way, I agree. It's all extremely subjective, and probably mostly boils down to your post production software, and ultimately your ability of course.
