We all know that the Digital Rebel XSi has an edge on the very fine
Nikon D60.

And the Nikon D300 (for a big wad of cash) has an edge on the Canon 40D.

And nobody knows how th3 Nikon D700 will compare against the Canon
5DMKII (or whatever they will call it)

But how do you think the new Nikon D90 Will share out against the Canon
50D.

And how will the new Canon 18-200 compare agaqinst Nikon 18-200.
It should be interesting reading reviews in the upcoming months.
Put it this way - regardless of which brand you buy, it
won't be long and then there will be a camera from the other
brand which will be better, and you'll be tempted to say "i
wish I bought xxxx instead". But then the brand you bought
will have a new model and you'll say "I'm glad I bought xxxx".
Then there's the Sony and Pentax offerings, which arguably
offer better features for the money than the Nikon & Canon
cameras.
I'd suggest have a hands-on with as many cameras as you can
and make your choice that way. At the end of the day, every
DSLR on the market today is bloody good - the differences
are splitting hairs. Use them and get a feel of which seems
to be the nicest for you to use, and purchase according to that.
