The reason why I like Canon:
1- I think they look nicer. Nikon SLRs look kinda cheap to me (but obviously they put out just as good of quality photos).
2- I like the way it feels in my hand vs. Nikon cameras.
3- My mom shot Canon so I went with Canon mostly because of that
Honestly, if I was in the market for an SLR and just getting started (having never owned an SLR before) I would look into both brands unbiased. I kind of got "pushed" towards the Canon because that's what my mom has always used, but I LOVE the brand. If I didn't have the slight use of my mom's cameras beforehand, who knows, I may have liked the way Nikon felt in my hands better. But I was already slightly used to my mom's 10D and film Rebel when I decided to get my XT, so it wasn't a hard adjustment for me. Plus she already had some lenses, and we share all of our lenses, so that makes things cheaper.

I've decided I'm just going to go with the Nikon. The 300D with three lenses for so cheap kind of makes me weary.
