I am coming from a fuji point and shoot 3.3 mpix camera that i purchased off this board from a past owner. I have had it a couple years now and i am ready for the switch to the dslr. I lurk other messageboards,and whenever i am impressed with the quality of the photographs, it always winds up being a canon or nikon dslr.
they really do take great pictures.

i know after purchasing either one, i will play around with the kit lense that comes with the camera, but i will most likely invest in a better zoom later in the year.

Are canon lenses better than nikon, or vice versa ?
price points ?

i have read all the reviews on dpreview.com, and kenrockwell.com, but thought i would come to my friends at hp.org

thanks all
