Nikon behind Canon!? Hardly!. Both companies make some of the most advanced, most powerful digital SLR cameras that the world has ever seen!. You can't go wrong with either brand!. If a sales person tells you one is better than the other it means 1) they have more of that brand on the shelf this month and want to sell it or 2) that brand is paying higher sales commissions this month!.

If this is your first D-SLR camera (and it sounds like it is) the Nikon D700 or equivient Canon 5D II is too much!. Digital cameras are obsolete in 2 years!. You shouldn't spend that much money on a new camera when you don't yet have an inventory of good lenses!. While cameras get replaced by new models every year, good lenses will last you for decades!.

Consider the Nikon D90 or Canon 50D!. Both are extraordinary cameras with capabilities that will last a photographer for years!. Use the money you save to buy good lenses!. When the time comes to replace your camera, you'll be happy you have good glass on your shelf to use with the new camera and didn't spend your entire budget on just a camera body that eventually went obsolete!.
