This give the advantage of lower noise, especially at higher ISOs, and less of a dust problem. The Nikon camera I'm sure is a fine unit though, and their prices tend to be slightly lower than Canon's competing cameras. If you have some expensive Nikon glass, Nikon is a good way to go. But if you're planning on some new lenses, I'd think seriously about Canon. The two competing companies have more differences, especially in camera controls and layout. Some people find the Nikon well laid out, some find the Canon their cup of tea. But let's face it, any new camera body is going to take some getting used to.
