this is like mac vs pc but in the camera world, it comes down to what you want in a camera and if you already have invested in lenses or not

depends, each have there own ips and downs as for quality and performance. I own a canon rebel and i love it so naturally thats what i would recommend. But you should also look at how much the lenses and accessories cost to see which one fits the budget you are working with.

I think that nikon is better for scenery, Canon takes better pictures of people. I have had both even in the stages of 35mm and have seen both so to me it depends on what your going to take more pictures of and what your using your camera for.

Nikon tends to over sharpen landscapes and make them look too digital and perfect compared to more natural look of the Canon line.

Depends if it is an SLR or a DSLR.
I don't know about regular SLRs, since I have never used one (just used regular film cameras, but not SLRs), but for DSLRs, I'd go for a Canon any day, although Nikons are very good as well.
Why Canon for DSLRs? Nikon is expensive, if you want good quality.
Canon's models tend to work very well, no matter the range, but as far as I have used Nikons, only the more expensive models are brilliant. The low-range DSLRs are sort of... average, to be honest. They don't offer much in their normal and cheaper range.
Another reason I would go for a Canon, is, unless you get a D3S, chances are, the Nikon won't also do video. (Although my friend has a Canon DSLR that doesn't do video either, so I guess it is a flaw both have).
If you are willing to spend a lot of money, get a Nikon. It's worth it. But if you just want your first DSLR, get a Canon.
Whatever you choose, you'll be happy with your purchase.

You have to compare apples to apples here, so compare models of each brand that are of the same quality. It would not be fair to compare a top of the line Cannon to a baseline Nikon for example. However some of the other posters have made a very good point. I own Cannon SLRs and a Nikon D80 DSLR and I can say that I wish I had bought a Cannon just so my old lenses would be compatible. Don't get me wrong the D80 is a very nice camera and I love it.. but Nikon lenses are VERY expensive.

I own a Canon 450D (Rebel XSi) myself, but i have to say, it's pretty close. Nikon makes good camera's, and so does Canon. It totaly depends on what you want with the camera. the Rebel XSi takes nice pictures in my opinion, but it comes with the cost of noise, wich is less of a problem on say, a Nikon D90. On the other hand, lenses are cheaper for Canon, and more easy to get. But as Jeff already said, if you already have lenses, you might as well go that way. I would recommend you to go for a good camera body, then build towards a good set (lenses, external flash, prime lenses, tele lenses, and basic zoom lenses

I also have an XSi, and this camera is well known for it's low noise in comparison to other Canon and Nikon cameras. Unlike the T1i which went overboard and crammed too many pixels into the APS-C sensor the 12+ pixels of the XSi/450D was just the right balance. On comparable models the XSi is nearly legendary in it's image quality. We're talking cameras that max at 1600 ISO.

I don't use cameras per se. I just draw peoples faces and scenery with pencils and crayons. It is economical and it's good for the environment. And the chicks love it. They think it's sweet. Give it a try. Obama and Al Gore appove I am sure. :0)

From what I know, Nikon is much cheaper in terms of accessories. Canon will cost alot more of the same range of lenses, etc.
I cannot say which one gives the better pictures. It always depends on how well you know the menu system and taking the max out of the features.
If you are a novice, Nikon is good and can take you far into the professional level. Canon needs a bit more of an experienced hand, but is also easy to get through if you take the time.
