Do you plan on getting more lenses as time goes on? If you are, I would look at the lense lineup of Canon and Nikon and decide based off their lense list. I was swaying between the 30d and the D80 and ended up going with the Canon. So far I am very happy with it...I didn't buy it because of the body though...I bought it cause I liked the lenses Canon had for wildlife photography better at a better price...both are a super camera...either way I am sure you will be pleased
