I'll add my dollar two twenty nine plus tax.
If I had to do it over again, I would have bought the Nikon d500, Nikon's pro crop sensor. Absolutely lightening focus, 10 frames per second, and superb low light capability. I currently shoot with a D810 and D7100. Of course it is all about the ergonomics so rent each camera and lens for a day. It's worth the cost given the investment.
Both Canon 5d 3 and 4 are great, however, I wouldn't dismiss the Canon 7D mark 2 !!
If you used an RB67 you should be happy with ANYTHING.
Photowise I do not think you could detect a difference, however I have found Nikons to be very reliable, not so with Canon going back to the AE 1.

Hi: I'm new here and new to photography as well. I have been using Nikon D7000 for some time and want to switch/upgrade to Canon thinking of 5DIV or III. I recently went with my friend to do some photography of birds and I really liked his Canon 5DSR and I felt that Canon was more user friendly. Your suggestions will be very help full.
You've already made up your mind and are looking for someone to hold your hand. I pass.

I would second your statement, but I am on the trolls ignore list. Seems if you criticize him, that's how he deals with it .
When you buy into a camera you buy into a system. Cameras you change good lenses you keep and are expensive, so do your research well for once you start buying lenses and accessories you get tied down to a system. Both brands are good, I own Nikon but you are right Cannon does have better ergonomics in some areas. It has been my experience that the Nikon Service department is lacking I sent a lens for repair and got it back just before a big trip to Asia, I am in tears over some of my images using this lens. My equivalent Sigma was much better and Sigma also makes lenses for Canon. Do not think that you have to buy the manufactures lens.
One helpful suggestion, after you narrow your choices, go to a camera store and take the models in you hands and see how each model feels in your hands, if is hard to get that feeling from a website, getting them in your hands and being able to scroll thru the menus to see which one has the better feeling to you
