Depends on your budget.
What features you want.
What lenses you already have. If your already have Canon lenses, stick with Canon and vice versa.
What controls you are familiar with. If you are familiar with Nikon then Canon will be different. Different layout and terms of function.
Both have outstanding lenses.
They both process excellent pictures.
Do not get caught up in the megapixel war.

Go to the website I posted and you can pretty much come to your own take on the subject. The site is Nikon biased, so keep that in mind. |

I would tend to agree. If it is out by the time you have the budget, I say go for it. |
