go for Nikon D5000 or D90! I have tried them both and they are excellent cameras, both has videos and gives you very high quality photos.

Grrrrrrr, same old question.

a) if you use the search box you'll find this has been asked and replied a dozen times already.

b) You will get Canon fans saying Canon and Nikon fans saying Nikon, so a completely biased response.

c) visit www.dpreview.com for impartial advise

If you don't need a video, then go for a Canon 450D.
