Photography Enthusiasts! Nikon or Canon?

More specifically, I'm stuck between the Canon EOS 80D and the NIKON D7500. These cameras are basically equal, with a few twerks here and there.

As far as my personal uses, I d be using it for still images, of course, but video is a big priority for me, as that s more the direction I'm currently exploring. The Nikon as 4k video recording capability, and the Canon has 1080p 60fps recording capability. Canon also has a dual pixel AF that has been rated so highly that some say it's more worth having over the 4k capability of the Nikon. So I might be leaning more towards the Canon, until I weigh the still image quality. I like the image quality and more "light and airy" look that the Nikon gives. Of course I could correct any drab or grey photos, but I don't want to have to constantly edit thousands of photos to achive the look I could possibly naturally get from the Nikon.

Keep in mind that I haven't actually personally tested each camera and am just making all assumptions off of the research I've done on the specs, and what I've seen from photo and video samples from each camera. In reality, I think either of these cameras would be an excellent choice, but I'm just trying to weigh the different specs here. Is the Canon dual pixel AF in video recording more worth having than 4k capability?

Anyone have any one of these cameras that could possibly add some insight? Or have a close model to one of these cameras even that you could tell me your experience with?
