Which nikon or canon?

Nikon or canon?

Nikon

Neither.
Both.

I'd no more tell you what camera to use as I'd assume to tell you what shoes to wear, which friends to have, or car to drive. It should always be a personal choice.

Have you handled Canons or Nikons in your price range? See how they fit your hands, your style, and how the operating system does or does not get in your way.

I've shot Nikon for decades, and they've never failed me. Others have done the same for Canon. We're both right - for ourselves.

BTW, do a search and see how many hundreds or thousands of times this same question has been asked.

You question tells us that you have not done even the basic research. How are we supposed to know which system is best for your needs and expectations?

Here are some links that you need to review at a minimum before visiting a proper camera store to make your final choice.

Finally you are going to have to make a decision on what your budget is going to be. Under $1, 000, "the sky is the limit" or somewhere in between
