Your post seems innocent enough, so we'll give you the benefit of the doubt and not assume you're trying to start a flame war with this often-asked question! Here's my take from having read ad nauseum about it. They are both top-notch systems. The reason most often cited for switching to Canon is the optics selection, and Image Stabilization technology. I don't know directly, but I've heard people claim that the Nikon matrix metering system is superior to Canon's but I find the metering on my EOS 30 to be highly satisfactory - with and without flash.
