The primes take much sharper images than the zooms, which is no surprise. I haven't played with the vid side much, so I can't elaborate on it. The few quick vids I've shot seem very clear and crisp, though.
I've also been monitoring Craig's List for lenses. I bought my 50mm off CL. In the month or so I've been keeping tabs on it, I've seen many more Nikon lenses for sale than I have Canon lenses. So you may find more decent used lenses if you go with a Nikon.
I don't think you can go wrong with either brand.
