well I think you know my answer to that already, no?

If you know more people with Canon gear, it'd be nice to have the ability to try out or borrow lenses from them. Makes things much simpler and easier.

and vice versa.

It really doesn't matter THAT much which system you buy into, but once you're in you better stay with it - jumping between 2 systems is very very expensive, espeically if you have invested in some lenses already.

Goto any local camera stores and try out the cameras on your shopping list and see which one feels "right". It's a tool, so if you don't feel comfortable using it, your work will suffer.

However, I'll have to say that Canon, at the moment, is the leader in sports photography and some fashion/studio stuff. Noise seems to be better-contolled with Canon cameras as well.

Nikon's short primes and zooms seem to have higher quality but really, the difference is minimal.

There really isn't a "better" brand when you compare Nikon and Canon, it's just a matter of personal preference based on what you shoot most of the time.
