But check out a Sony/Fuji mirrorless too. Read about and watch on YouTube the different cameras incl. your choices
Have fun!

Fuji has been around for a long time.

Your question was previously answered in a recent post -- you should search prior posts before asking the same question again.

Bah! Not Fuji Heavy Industries. I meant to say Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Once Nikon's parent company.

The choice should be driven by the type of Photography you plan on doing and the lens kit that would support the type of shooting you want to do. The Camera Bodies for both Canon & Nikon are high end and will meet most of your needs. I shoot Canon and I have a Canon 7D Mark II and a older Canon 7D. The reason I continue to stick with Canon is because of my lens kit as I have great glass and for the type of image shooting I do the system works for me.

Shot Canon F1 Film in Korea for years but the old lenses did not work on new cameras so I changed to Nikon as there lenses did work on the new cameras.

The canon 80d is a beautiful camera and I would recommend it to anyone. I love mine.

I have been a Canon Shooter since my film days and I currently have a Canon 7D and a Canon 7D Mark II body. My lens kit is a Canon EF 17-40mm f4 L, Canon EF 24-105mm f4L IS, Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS, Canon EF 300mm f4L IS, Canon EF 400 f5.6 L, Canon 100mm f2.8L IS Macro, Canon 85MM f1.8, Canon EF 28-80mm f3.5-5.6 Version 1, Canon EF 100-300mm f4.5-5.6. So I will be a Canon Shooter until the end.

Feedback:
1) The art quilts that I have seen are fairly low resolution patterns. If you want enlargements to lay out quilting patterns don't worry too much about the resolution. If you want enlargements to print to view and compare with the quilts, that is a different matter.
2) If you are talking long-term and plan on acquiring multiple lenses, then buy for the lenses rather than the camera body. Camera bodies are evolving rapidly. In the future you are likely to want to upgrade your body without abandoning your lens collection.
3) When I photograph flowers I generally put the camera on a tripod and down low. If you do that, think about how well you can use the camera viewfinder and/or display when the camera is positioned where you want it. Are you a mud crawler? Can you bend that low?
4) Why do you want a DSLR? The world is changing in terms of SLR implying the best quality in the 35mm segment. Is there something you want that requires a DSLR? If not, don't rule out mirrorless and other options too quickly.
5) How hard is it to get where you wish to photograph? It's an old maxim that the best camera is the one you have with you. A great system that you leave behind because it is too hard to tote doesn't help. Same thing if you don't go at all because of the bother of the gear.
6) Nikon and Canon are two very good lines. I think that you will find the differences matter to you far less than you might be led to believe from these replies.

Hope this helps.

FYI: I shoot with a Nikon D600 and Nikon, Tamron, and Sigma lenses.

Kits come with EF-S 18-135 USM or STM & 55-250mm STM. Are these any good? Or is better to buy base and separate lens?

If you want to buy a decent copier, buy a Canon. If you want a quality camera, stick with Nikon. By the way Markjay appears to be demented.

Well, I looked at a couple of full frames and went with the D750 due to reviews of it's low light capability.
If I were doing portraits and weddings I might have chosen the D810 (36mp)

I also noticed you can set crop factor on the d750 : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjq3Y-oqeTUAhXILyYKHRrZAFAQFgg4MAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Falanhessphotography.com%2Fnikon-d750-crop-modes-and-the-mma%2F&usg=AFQjCNErHKMwU8blvl89yGxLB6qJvkQmtw


Noticed your post and this is my 2 cents worth....

markjay

of course almost any camera will be the best at something - no matter miniscule that something may be.
The question is - is it overall best ?
No one will say Olympus meets that criteria.

And as for Fuji - great cameras - BUT
1. They are crazy heavy for mirrorless cameras. Even more heavy than many equivalent APSc DSLR's. Its from the tank like construction - all metal and weatherproof.
2. And many people, including Ken Rockwell will say that the colors of Fuji are not nearly as good as others, except for skin tones in which it excels. So if you are primarily into portraits - its good. But anything else - like landscapes - its a poor second as far as color resolution.

This is just like buying a car, twenty people twenty suggestions. Have you thought of a full frame like the Nikon 800 series? Best write down cameras suggested then google cameras compare you will get a lot of choices on sites and more honest answers.

Uh oh you just started a Nikon vs Cannon War. When I was a kid in the 50's it was which is more realistic Lionel Trains or American Flyer trains. This is getting amusing.
