Nikon or Canon--you can't go wrong with either. I happen to be a Canon guy, but Nikon makes very good cameras, too. My one caution--if you truly enjoy taking photos, buy good glass up front. Don't buy some cheapass lens knowing you'll replace it in a couple years. Buy one good lens now--preferably an image stabilized one (VR for Nikon), because some soft, out of focus image is simply **** no matter what you do with it in processing.
