If you take a look at the Video with the highly noise reduced Canon capture and then compare this with the Nikon after noise reduction is done, you might come to a different conclusion.

Look, I'm not saying that Canon video capture is not great. All I'm saying is that both companies approached video differently.

Nikon opted not to do in camera noise reduction to preserve details, Canon opted for heavy noise reduction in their video... This has been well documented.
