For the average consumer either will work great and take amazing pictures. It really only comes down to ergonomics. For pretty much everyone on GFY (except for the half dozen high end pros) either camera would be a great choice.
Canon had the greater market share and always will. They are a much bigger company than Nikon. Nikon only makes cameras and lenses (and scopes, binoculars etc).
If I had to choose though personally just one camera it would be Nikon  |
Nikon myself, although I have used Fuji, and canon in the past. Fuji when I went digital in 2001 with Nikon glass.... used canon for about 6 months with canon glass in 2009. oddly enough my personal experience is Nikon files take more aggressive post than canon files... only heard good things about canon glass though ... right now my d3x is going insane .. been to the shop twice... burning the skin tones and dropping the ambient ... my personal opinion is blue channel on the chip is going out... back to the shop on Monday
Jay time to go 4k and dump the dlsr video...
