people tend to prefer one or the other ..

but ... trying to be an unbiased Nikon lover, i'll say that they're both good brands and you can't really go wrong either way. they've both been around a long time and have a great buffet of lenses for you to grow into down the road.

my recommendation would be to figure out what level of camera you want (features, price, etc.) .. then go out and try out one camera for each brand. you'll probably end up choosing about the time you start using them side by side.

i've not read into camera reviews in a long time, but i'd just double check a few websites to make sure there's not a bad model in the mix.

I guess I'll throw my 2 cents in as the Canon lover...

I agree with Christina. Both brands are about equal. They are both great quality, evenly priced... they are just laid out differently.
I would suggest picking one camera from each brand that's within your price range and renting for the weekend to get a feel for it. That's helped me out quite a bit. I've shot everything Canon makes. I've shot with several Nikon's as well.

Pick a price range,
Look at all camera's available in the price range.
Find the best deal available, with out being ripped off.
Buy Camera.

I personally started with Nikon, stuck with it and use it for everything.

Finally, DO NOT BE AFRAID!

Costco is another version of Sam's. About a year ago, their print prices were the same and they used the same printer....if anyone cares.

Figure out who your friends are and which brand most of them use. That way, when you need to borrow something, or they need to borrow something, you can do more than make bad jokes at each others expense.
