I have narrowed my purchase choice down to 2. Both are at Costco which I like due to the return policy they have. My first choice is the Nikon D90 kit. My second choice is the Canon Rebel XSi kit. Both come 18-55 and 55-200/250 lens. The Nikon is priced at 1299.00 and the Canon is at 999.00. I would really appreciate any comments from anyone that has any knowledge on these 2 cameras. It appears that the Canon/Nikon debate is just like politics and I am really at a loss to which one to get. Thanks everyone.

I've been told by a pro that anything Nikon you can't really go wrong..

Canon and Nikon are both great cameras. They'll both give you the same quality results. They both have a great and wide selection of lenses. I shoot Canon, but can't say it's any better than Nikon. If you've never used a DSLR, both will have quite a learning curve involved. BEWARE, it's just as addictive of a hobby, and just as expensive...lol.

Your best bet is to play around with both of them. Make your decision based on which one feels best in your hands. If a camera is awkward, you'll never be able to master it.

Thanks for the input. Think I'm going to go with the Nikon. Sorry MyTeeMouse, can't afford to get both. I could probably be bribbed if you want to tell your wife I gave you one, though. hehe
