I have the Nikon D5000 and I love it. Its my first DSLR and it can do amazing things! I looked at this camaera and the Canon T1i and went with the D5000 because of the articulating screen. It's pretty cool, you can position it anyway you like and take shots in many crazy positions easily!

Try this site, it's been very helpful and accurate for me in the last 8 years or so. http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/

Canon is my personal preferance. I think a common trend is placing more emphasis on a body vs. the lens. A Rebel T2i with a good lens suited to your primary photo objectives is not a bad place to start.

Thanks for the site. Canon seems to have a great line of lenses.

Do you have the T2i?

No, but we've had 2 Rebels and Elan IIe film SLR before the Rebels.

Nikon vs Canon.............Ford vs Chevy Both are good options.

My brother bought the Nikon D5000 several months ago but I don't think he has used it that much up to this point. I guess I should ask him if I could borrow it for a week or so to test it out. I think I will give him a call.
