And Binos and riflescopes too

Have you cruised any SLR forums? Or better yet go down to a Ritz camera and play with a few?

No nikon makes a lot of other products.

I personally think you should go with Canon. I've worked with tons of profesional photographers and about 90% of them use Canon over Nikon. Plus I don't really like Nikon's photo processor I think it make a lot of things look really fake.

Plus for price it seems like Canon always give you more.

When your buying an SLR your not just buying the camera, your buying into its range of lenses and other accessories. So you should make certain that the brand you buy has the lenses you want and at the price you want. The lenses will easily cost more than the camera so this is only a small part of purchase.

You sound like you don't know much about cameras or just repeat what you are told.

First of all, Nikon vs. Canon is pointless. They both make great camera systems. The real choice when starting out is really who makes the lenses you like best, then go with that manufacturers body.

To me, Nikons "feel" better in my hand. On top of that, I have many lenses that I have acquired over the years, that I can still use on my digital Nikon bodies, so I have stuck with Nikon.

As to "Nikon's photo processor making things look really fake" I'd have to ask you what the heck you are talking about? If anything, Canon places more "default" processing on a captured image, not Nikon!

The way the camera comes out of the camera depends on a multitude of in camera settings. I personally shoot raw and leave the processing to post exposure.
