the popularity of Nikkor lenses speaks for itself.. if you think you want to build your collection of excellent glass - go nikon - but be prepared for premium prices and long waits.

Canon has excellent cameras and lenses as well - easier to find/buy. arguably not quite as good as nikkor - but most of us will never be able to tell.

i always opt for canon point and shoots and nikon dslrs.. but that's becuase i made the dslr choice a number of years back and am too far invested in lenses to ever switch.

hope this helps you understand the two better
