I am a nikon guy myself. I just got a d2x, and have shot with the D70 for about a year. I find that nikon and canon leapfrog each other every couple of months. Canon seems to bring out more bodies and brings out new cameras more frequently. Canon definately has better advertising- think who plays tennis. Nikon is less "flashy". Both are GREAT systems, you can not go wrong with either. Try them both. Canon does seem to have better noise patterns on high iso. Nikon seems to have a better flash system.
Both have great glass.
Shoot more.
