I can't quite make my decision. It seems that the Canons have the upper hand when it comes to high ISO images and the Nikons tend to have better software with more available features with a click of a button.


That's actually a pretty good summary of it. Here's a shorter form of it: Canon has much superior high-ISO, and Nikon has much superior everything else.

Canon is generally cheaper to buy, and has more lenses available for it. Nikon has vastly superior flash (lighting), weather seals, and tends to improve cameras with firmware updates (unheard of at Canon).

Like fellow #2 Avis, Nikon tries harder, because they have to.

I'm a Canon user, for the lenses.
