Nikon or Canon SLR? Which is better?

[Moesha]

So odd that you just posted this. Did you do a search here through old threads? There are several that discuss this very topic. I only ask that because I JUST finished searching and reading through many of them. This is the third of fourth time I've read some of them. I was trying to decide the very same thing. I decided to go with Nikon. No real reason other than I liked the feel of the camera better I guess. I went to the store and held both of them. My very first 35mm camera was a Nikon and I loved it. I recently used a friends film EOS Rebel from Canon and it was ok too. I just read reviews at several places and they are pretty closely rated and from the best I could tell, it is a matter of personal opinion.

I bought a Nikon D60 with a 18-55mm lens kit as a trial. I can return it until Jan. 31. This way I can decide if I will actually use it and also see if prices will fall on the D80 or D90 in the next month or so with the holiday sales out there. I will probably get the D80 unless I find a really great D90 deal. I just posted a question in this thread about what lenses. (18-55 and 55-200 or just an 18-200)

I have a Nikon DSLR. I love it, but I'd love a Rebel too. But my Nikon is really nice! =]

Here's a thread along similar lines that I commented on a while back. Worth a read.

Nikon and Canon are pretty closely tied between support and quality, but I would still choose a Canon for personal preference.

My personal opinion only is Nikon .
