You can't go wrong with either Canon or nikon. Canon does sell a lot more cameras and equipment than Nikon. There must be a reason for that.
There is a reason for that it is called advertising budget and Nikon has really started putting a dent in that with them being advertised almost eveytime there is a commercial on TV.
And you can not go wrong with a Pentax like me or a Sony all the new DSLR's are pretty close in performance just see what is comfortable to you.
