Started with a Canon 300D and then upgraded to 30D. I checked out the 50D at Ritz and was really impressed. Im a Canon nut hugger I guess because I never used a Nikon. I hear great things about them though.

And Binos and riflescopes too

Have you cruised any SLR forums? Or better yet go down to a Ritz camera and play with a few?

Started with Canon XTi, bought a T1i if I had the extra cash at the time I would have purchased a Nikon D90.

Canon 5D. Can't beat a full frame sensor.

I use a Nikon D40 and it's a pretty good entry point shoot camera.

No nikon makes a lot of other products.

I personally think you should go with Canon. I've worked with tons of profesional photographers and about 90% of them use Canon over Nikon. Plus I don't really like Nikon's photo processor I think it make a lot of things look really fake.

Plus for price it seems like Canon always give you more.

When your buying an SLR your not just buying the camera, your buying into its range of lenses and other accessories. So you should make certain that the brand you buy has the lenses you want and at the price you want. The lenses will easily cost more than the camera so this is only a small part of purchase.

Canon Rebel is my choice my father has a nice Nikon and he says that he wished he had gotten the canon because there is just to much stuff with the Nikon.
