so you like the nikkor lenses better? (i've been absentee on your debate, sorry)
No (well maybe)... as a learner i couldnt run each camera to the point where i can produce a quality difference. But the lens is money for quality that will be still going strong when digital camera X is sitting in the filing cabnet beside my 1983 AE-1 & unteen old fungusy lenses.

You know they tighten the screws tighter on white lenses.

I'm going through the same struggle myself, so it wasn't exactly an unselfish act for me to test out both cameras,
Have you decided on anything yet? (You can PM me if you don't want to make your decision public...I won't tell! For the rest of you Dgrin-ers, too bad! )
Anyhow, I hope you'll share your thoughts with me...I'm really stuck on the fence as to which way to go, and feeling the time pressure, too! I want to be able to have it all figured out before well our upcoming Yosemite trip, so I can have enough time to learn whatever camera I end up with!

Regardless of what you get, you will not have made a mistake.
I've suggested before that what feels good and intuitive in your hand
is a good measure. As are the optics quality. Like others, the glass will
long outlive the body (unless you go the FS route (Canon)).
Go back to the store, close your eyes and try and take picky's. Imagine
the movement your hands make on the controls. How does the camera feel
in your hands?
In the end, you can even flip a coin. But you need to decide

'gus when I chose, one of things that influenced me was the availabilty of used Canon equiptment. (Some might argue that as negative point )
If you take the flea market here as an example: in the last 2 pages 11 canon items / 1 nikon item have come up. If your on a budget this can really help.
Having said that I bought my body used, but my lenses have all been new so far...I'm too impatient!
No doubt at all mate. I may swing canon yet....im looking as we speak.
'gus, choose whichever, but choose. that said, you like to shoot dark and i've been saying this all along, nobody but nobody disputes the fact that at the higher isos, 1600 and even 3200, canon is superior.
just something to think about and make yer head explode

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence that you tried~
