I?m a Canon guy but the specs on the Nikon look better. Nikon is a 24mp camera and the Canon is a 12mp camera. We all know MP doesn?t matter, but it?s always nice to have extra for crops. The Nikon also has video.
You can compare both against each other here

The Canon appears to have better picture quality IMO.
