The OP asked about only two brands, but I certainly agree that Sony, Pentax,
Olympus and others are worth considering. This is more skill limited than
equipment limited ... a good photog with an average camera will outdo a
newbie with the latest rig 95% of the time.

They are both just tools. It depends on whose hand's the tool is in.
Michelangelo with a hammer and chisle could free David from a block of
Marble, I would only end up with expensive gravel. I sculpt with light, he
did with Marble... Put a camera in his hands, who knows what?

Canon, Nikon, Pentax or Sony it really doesn't matter as long as you
understand the limits of your equipment.

For general work this is true. For special purposes go with whichever one
has the pieces you need in its system or available from third parties.

Correction:
