I believe they're both good. Probably comes down to a combination of
personal preference, how many Canon / Nikon lenses you already have and
whether you like the Canon's full frame sensor.
The sensor issue is what made me switch to Canon 2 years ago - basically,
the full frame sensor is the same size as a 35mm neg. That means that all
your lenses have the same focal length. So a 24mm still acts like one. Nikon
use a smaller sensor, which is fine, but means that a 24mm will typically
become a 36mm and loses some of it's wide angle ability. Of course this also
means that your telephotos get greater reach.
I switched to Canon and don't regret it. However, Nikon have made big
strides at catching up and now there's little in it, in my opinion and the
choice is much harder today.
