It's silly to be threatened by the advantages of either Nikon or Canon. Both have everything you could want for general use, but each one has a few special purpose offerings that the other can't match.

My regular shooting kit consists of a Canon 24/1.4, a 65mm MPE macro and a 300/4IS - none of which has an equivalent in the Nikon world. But then, I'm mostly a nature/wildlife photographer. If I was more a landscape photographer it's hard to argue with the superiority of Nikon wide zooms like the 14-24 (though the new Canon 17mm TS-E does look promising). Camera bodies, despite all the noise about better Nikon AF systems or better low cost - high resolution sensors from Canon, are a wash between the two systems.
