Hi Greg
Just to throw a spanner in the works.
If you are talking about full frame you might want to look the medium format DSLR. Something like the Mamiya DM. Depends on your budget but you can get a 80Mp back for these.
The quality is far better than the 35mm format. ( it always has been ) especially when it was compared to film.

The draw back on these cameras, limited lens selection, and capture rate. I think about 1 sec per frame.
If you have a really big budget go for a Hasselblad these cameras are brilliant. but $$$$$.

As far as Canon and Nikon they are both great 35mm format cameras
both have dominated the professional market for years.
You would do great with either.

This statement is partly true. But from my experience in the photography profession I have found that there are a lot of photographers who are naturally talented, with little training they can produce fantastic images.
But you can not produce fantastic, high quality images on poor quality equipment. Having higher quality equipment will certainly help to improve your Photography.


Cheers
