It's up to you really. The inner workings of the cameras are more or less the same - I mean, there isn't really any fancy tricks one can do that the other can't. What it comes down to is glass (or lenses) quality.

I prefer Canon because it's what I was raised on, I've never tried Nikon in my life but Canon are really user friendly.

If you're looking into buying a camera, go to a camera store and feel it in your hands, take your time and ask the people there to turn the camera on so you can look at it's features and get a feel of what it would be like to use it. I mean, you don't want to spend a lot of money on something you don't like!
