No, I am a professional photographer from Leh Ladakh and i have used NikonD50 and currently using Cannon EOS 400D. I really dont think that Nikon performs better in low light than Cannon. Its mor to do with the number of settings to be adjusted while shooting in low light. In your case the lens both of you were using are not the same and yes Lens can make a difference specailly if you are using Auto mode, and i think here it was because of the lens and nothing else.
