Canon 70D for first camera?

Today I bought Canon 70D camera from Costco, and it came in a bundle for approx. $1400 - camera, 32 GB Class 10 SD card, case, 2 lenses, charger, HDMI to mini HDMI cable and a white cable and a couple other things.

I talked to many best buy employees about canon vs nikon and they said it depends, and i was asking in filming/noob professional photography. They said Canon is more reliable.

Is this true? I've been using Nikon my whole life cause it's more user-friendly, so it's my first time owning a Canon.

… I'm in a film course this summer so when I enter college I'll have an understanding of the film industry, but I want to take very good pictures during events, so this camera seems it's going to be good.

I believe nikon is always superior to canon in the high end models.
But for the mid and low end models i love canon more than the nikon… Also canon is more user friendly…
… Thats my view… Just me…

It does not matter what your first dSLR is. They all work the same. You have to learn the fundamentals of photography in any case and learn how to balance ISO, shutter speed, lens aperture to get near perfect exposures.

It is usually a better idea to spend some time researching different camera companies entry level cameras, long before you start spending any money. Believe me, the cost of cameras can only go down over time no matter where you buy them.

It is important that you understand the differences not only between a Canon T5, T5i, 70D or 7D, but the differences between the Canon 70D, Nikon D7100, Pentax K3 and other advanced dSLR cameras (costing over $1,000 without a lens) Once you buy into a camera system, you will be married to it for a decade or twol

After spending some time on the camera companies websites and understand the differences between those models, you need to visit DP Review and read the professional reviews of those cameras.

If sensor performance is important to you (like in low light), you can visit DXOmark website and see how the sensors of those various cameras

Finally, you need to visit a proper camera shop and see which one fits your needs. It may be that you will need to buy your camera away from Costco or Sam's Club and spend maybe 5% more to get the camera that best fits your needs.

Whether a camera is more reliable or not is not someone can answer unless they have used both for over a period of years. From talking to my colleagues who shoot sports (probably the most stressful subject for cameras) Canon and Nikon are both able to handle the action. One colleague has an older Nikon D3 with over 1,000,000 shutter cycles and it is still working just fine.

Take your time. Do your independent research. Make a purchase you can live with for a few decades.

Here is a review of the Canon 70D.

Nikon and Canon should be pretty close. The Canon 70D may have a slight advantage over the Nikon D7100 for video.
You don't say what 2 lenses you got. If one was the cheapo EF 75-300mm you may want to replace it with the better EF-S 55-250mm IS STM. When Nikon bundles a cheapo 70-300mm it is no better than the Canon cheapo 75-300mm. Canon's 55-250mm STM may be a little better than the Nikon 55-300mm.
The Nikon 18-140mm AF-S VR and the Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS STM (not the older non-STM) should be pretty similar in sharpness. The Nikon is reputed to have more distortion. The Canon has some chromatic aberration, but the 70D has user selectable processor correction.

Canon users support Canon.
Nikon users recommend Nikon.
They are both excellent cameras so there's little to chose between them.
You have bought a good camera in the 70D
