Should I switch from canon to nikon? - 1

I have a canon t1i that I got right out of highschool because it's what I used in my photography class and I was familiar with it, etc. I'm interested in upgrading out of the rebel series, so I was looking at the 60D but the more I researched the more I found Nikon cameras and found a review on the Nikon D5200 vs the t5i rebel. My photography teacher in highschool didn't like Nikon, but when I got a job at a photo studio that's what we used, and I used that camera more often than my own -- but I'm still not sure whether to change brands or not. I've read that Nikon does better in low light, and I often find myself shooting in-doors without any lighting. I use lots of natural lighting.

As for the type of Photography I'm in to -- I'm not sure. Where I worked I did families, children, glamour etc but it was all in a studio. I enjoy wildlife, but people just really stand out to me so I'm probably looking at artsy fartsy portrait photography.

I also have a budget of 800, so I can't jump to a pro series camera just yet -- lost my job at the studio and now work part time at a craft store -- so I'm making less than half what I used to. Oh, happy days!

Namely looking at the Nikon 5200 vs Canon 60D, I could possibly be interested in video -- that's what drew me to the 5200.

Lots of info, I know, but I could use the help. I know it's about the lenses, not the body, so if anyone has any insight of nikon lenses vs canon lenses that'd be quite alright.
Added (1). I'm not looking for video -- I was just stating that the capabilities of the two new cameras listed was a plus -- I know they are both very close. If you show someone a picture, they're not going to know what type of camera it was taken with -- this I know. It's not the camera, it's the user. I'm asking on a technicality, not on ability.

I only have my camera and my kit lens, so I won't lose anything by upgrading with a nikon.

Also, Sir, implying someone has a small intelligence won't help them make an educated decision on what camera to upgrade to. Thanks for trying, but don't play again:)
