What Leila said. I am partial to Canon and had a Canon S5IS before getting my DSLR. I got the Canon 60D because I liked the way it felt, I found an incredible deal on a bundle (with two lenses, a bag, tripod and 2 memory cards and of course the body). The controls to me on the Canon are simpler to me to understand as well. I have used my sisters Nikon to compare and I was kinda lost. Also one feature I love love love about the Canon is the swivel screen. I can swivel my screen out to view photos and back in to protect the screen when it is not in use and so I do not get sweat and skin cells and gunky stuff all over the screen when taking pictures. But really the only way to know for sure is to go to a store which has several models to try. Going in with a price budget to helps because then you can tell the salesman ok I have XXX amount to spend show me models in my price range. And while I always heard not to get the kit lens the two that came with mine (18-135 & 55-300) are both pretty decent lenses.
