As I'm getting back into the hobby of photography, I'm finding that more megapixels doesn't always guarantee a better image. Learning how to use the camera and its many features, as well as investing in better lenses and accessories (in time) will go much further than more megapixels.

In other words, I think that I would rather buy in to the Nikon system with one of their cameras than the Cannon one.

I like the idea of a 1st kit being 18-55, 55-250 and 50mm for lens, and bag for gear that is on-back or a shoulder bag, and a tripod that will last you past your 1st body.

- Cheap Nikkor lenses offer better image quality than cheap canon lenses (DX lenses vs. EF-S lenses), and they are cheaper! Nikkor 18-55 DX is far better than Canon's EF-S 18-55, in my opinion. And canon's EF 50 f1.8 is nothing compared to that of Nikon's 50 f1.8 G.
- While nikkor lenses are either cheap or very expensive (Nano), Canon lenses are more well-spreaded i.e. they have lenses with middling quality but also have somewhat affordable prices (like EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 which I think better than Nikkon's 12-24mm f4.
- However, I think canon offers a wider choice of lenses you might want to play with, even though some lenses you might think they don't have the purpose to be existed, lol.
- And video shooting is far better in Canon than Nikon :)
It depends on how you want to use your camera and which accessories/lenses you want to have. They are both nice systems.
