I'm a Nikon fan, but think Canon is just as good. You really can't go wrong with just about all the DSLRs made today. They're all fantastic and produce wonderful photos. Here's the one piece of advice I tell everyone. Go to the store and use the cameras you're thinking of buying. Really, this is the best advice I got about 15 years ago. If you buy something without trying it, you may find it too big, too small, too hard to use, etc... If you don't find your camera to be comfortable and easy to use, you'll find yourself leaving it at home. What good is an expensive camera if you don't use it?
