Really, for 95% of users, the differences between Nikon and Canon come down primarily to personal taste. Both make excellent bodies and lenses. I personally like the Canon lens lineup a lot more than Nikon's, but that's more in that semi-pro to pro range that PB PM is talking about.

I don't really think anyone's going to notice a real difference at the consumer level. Again, I'd really recommend trying them out for a bit first. And getting them used from a reputable store is a great way to go, especially for bodies, where issues are going to be a bit more obvious.

Do not be oppressed by the forces of ignorance and delusion! But rise up now with resolve and courage! Entranced by ignorance, from beginningless time until now, You have had more than enough time to sleep. So do not slumber any longer, but strive after virtue with body, speech, and mind!
