the nikon is marketed as  a lower end cam. In reality though it's not very far below the level of the canon at all. The lense you get with either will be shitty. buy a good lense and it will cost  alot less than the canon, if I remember prices correctly.  If you are looking for some good glass that will serve you well in many situations, I would look at the nikon Nikkor DX 18-135 lense. It produces some really good images, and it's pretty cheap considering
