simple explanation please, don't want to read so much lolz

It does not matter. Try out both brands and then buy the one you like.

Totally preferance.

oh okay, thanks

I prefer cannon because of the Mark II. Sexy camera that is.

I'm personally torn between both brands as I absolutely LOVE my nikon d80 but I also enjoy shooting my canon g10 p&s. It really comes down to personal preference.

Never ever say Canon is better than Nikon, or that Nikon is better than Canon. It's all personal preference! Both are awesome.

Who do you think will get an advantage in the market sometime soon?

Neither.

To be honest, I am not sure. They both make great stuff. Never used Nikon, but I see a lot of people using them, same with Canon. What do you think?
