If I was starting over with landscape and wildlife photography in mind I would go with Canon and not Nikon for my gear. Far more telephoto lens choices with Canon and less expensive super telephotos. With Canon the tilt shift axis orientation can be changed in the field and do not require sending the lens to the manufacturer for the change. Also a better wireless flash system. Canon is superior for shooting video and has a full line of cine lenses and third party gear options. The only area where Nikon is superior is with respect to the D500 and D5 cameras with their new autofocus system.
I have over $50,000 invested in Nikon cameras and lenses so the switch is not something I will be doing unless my house burns down. ...Show more →
Taking over from here, since elkhornsun is onto something.
Neither in landscape, nor in wildlife do you have a significant gain from a 24x36mm sensor. Sure, there is the thing about acuity and light gathering and stuff, but the tradeoff is (depending on camera) either a much higher price, or less features that really help you.
If I had to start over, with your choice of subjects, I would buy:
D500 or D810 (an 15 Mpix crop is almost as good as 20 Mpix from a cropped sensor)
Sigma 120-300 f2,8 Sport with 1,4x and 2x TC's
Sigma 35mm f1,4 Art
Nikon 85mm f1,4 AF-D
