I won't say which camera to get because both will take good photos that you will be happy with. If you are looking to do portrait photography you might consider getting a couple of prime lenses too. The Canon 50mm f1.8 II and 85mm f1.8 are both affordable and have excellent image quality. The only downside is that with these lenses you will be stuck at these focal lengths and will have zoom with your feet by moving closer or farther away from your subject.
