Does Photoshop work better with Canon EOS 7D or Nikon D7000?

Question

18.0 megapixels - Canon EOS 7D
16.2 megapixels - Nikon D7000
Also, I keep reading the best digital image format to work with in Photoshop CS5.5 is RAW.
Is this right?
Thank you.

You should know that the sensors are made or at least created by the same company it is a question of specification by the manufacturer that determines which sensor and advance standard the sensor is made.
That being the case Canon has traditional jump the gun to select the more advanced technology rather than wait for that technology to be 100% perfected as in a full frame 35mm format sensor.
Also they have consistently favored larger pixel count over quality of the pixel itself and use software (the firmware) to smooth the result giving it that slightly soft quality.
They do this with their lenses as well in particular to their Shift Tilt lenses which had to be updated since Nikon waited and were very successful with that update as well.
It is not that the cameras as not popular or good but if they wait they might be able to give their customers the better product.
Like the sensors the Shift Tilt lenses seem to be made by the same company but with different specification and perhaps different glass.
The two cameras you are speaking of are not their high end cameras but like all the products both companies make they are good depending on what you need.
And counting pixels is kind of ridiculous these days as the New 1DX has a lower pixel count then its predecessors because they found that making larger pixels enable them to control the noise better as Nikon discovered.
I still use the D3 and my client in Paris often enlarges the images to over a meter in hieght with amazing detail and it could easily be resampled much larger.
And you are talking about 12.1 megapixels to start with so the game of pixel has some meaning but not much.
When they perfect the noise control for smaller pixels then the technology for a larger pixel count will have some weight right now that is not the case although from what the they claim about the 1Dx might prove to be an indication that they hav made some strides in this direction it reamins to be seen if Canon has jump the gun again which I suspect they have done.
Doing things in a rush is often the slower way to a goal.
Let see if Canon jump the gun again. I would think Nikon woud have been on it if they thought the tehnology was finished they get the sensors from the same place.
So far all I have seen is that the body looks good?
