ill be the odd one out.
i shoot sony.
Do this. Save the money and buy killer lens’s.
BTW Nikon > all. 
Love my Nikon D40x
i just got the rebel XSi, i love it.
Man thanks for the input just makes my choice alot harder now. i was planing on having an assortment of lenses anyways for whatever. Thank you all for the input.
canon glass is the best out there IMO. nikon seems to have gained popularity in the market because of their lower price points and fuckin ashton kutcher. With that said however, both camera companies are great. don’t waste your time picking one… just pick one and stick with it. Learn to shoot. Good photographers can pick up any brand of camera and lens and take great pics with it.
