Cannon; usually better fps and lenses + moreā€¦

Comes down to just straight up which company you like. I'm a cannon fanboy

Buy a Nikon as cannons are very heavy and only shoot cannon balls not photographs. But Canon cameras are excellent. The choice comes down to personal handling of the camera, viewing of the image and the general over feel of the camera in your hands.

Your first fantastic enlargement (11x14, or larger) will be just that, not an indication of which camera captured the image.

Both are top-notch. It's a matter of taste and budget.
When you'll want to upgrade your lens inventory the Canon lenses can be cheaper then the lenses with Nikon mounts. You could go with a Canon and buy an adapter so your camera will also fit Nikon lenses to get the best of both worlds. Lenses will impact your budget significantly, so make sure you take that into account when buying a camera.

I'd go for a Canon.

Both are very competent, great camera brands. It really comes down to personal choice. I personally like Canon's usability a little more than Nikon's. Feels to me Nikon likes to do a little more hand holding while Canon lets the user to experiment. Also for outdoors and action shots I have found Canon to be better while Nikon is bit better indoors or with human subjects.

With the new crop of DSLRs from Nikon, they have recently gained market share.

Canon, which had 28% of the market in Aug 2012 now has a 25% market share.
Nikon, which had 23% of the market in Aug 2012 now has a 33% market share.

This just reflects sales, but Nikon must be doing something right with their new cameras.

Also you should realize that Nikon always has had better low light capability. This is probably likely due to they use larger sensors in their cropped cameras.

Nikon sensor size for cropped cameras (1.5x) = 370 sq mm
Canon sensor size for cropped cameras (1.6x) = 329 sq mm

This results in about a 10% larger sensor for Nikons, and their low-light superiority is reflected in the DxOMark ratings.

Even with full frame cameras, the Best Canon camera in the ratings is the EOS 1D, which comes in at #6. The top 5 cameras are all Nikon. While there's not a significant difference in the top 10, it is interesting that 6 of the top 10 for low light performance are Nikon, 3 are Canon, and one is Sony.

Still, it comes down to your personal likes and dislikes, as it is the photographer, not the camera that makes a good photograph.

This question AGAIN?

Seriously BOTH are good

What yeah that is your anwser BOTH are good. You have to look at each model on itself to see if it fits your usage. If it fits the job that you want it to do.

I mean seriously if it is taking vacation pictures and family pictures. They have done that great ever since at least 10 years ago.

I'm not joking any dslr can make great images.

It is once you are talking about specific usage. Specific things a camera should handle that one can begin to filter out the don'ts from the do's. For instance some people would care less about how much frames per second a camera can push out. For others it is part of the reason why they buy specific models.

So until you as buyer KNOW what you precisely seek in a camera. You can't define what is worst.
