the Nikon advantage, even admitted among canon users is the flash system or CLS that Nikon has... canon can't touch that. canon users will also admit that the Nikon focus system is a bit snappier as well.

when shooting a 600+ canon or Nikon body with cheap kit glass not really sure any of this would come into play except the pop up flash will possibly produce better images with the Nikon.

I've shot Fuji, Nikon and canon since I've been producing content. my experience is that Nikon files can be pushed a bit harder in post. I've read this from other multi system shooter as well.

so there is no real 'factual' reason to go with canon and if you're shooting the lower end systems from each manufacture there is no reason to not switch because you have no real investment in either system... for instance I have well 20K in Nikon glass, and 14K in Nikon bodies. that would cause me great 'issues' if I decided I need to shoot canon.
