Remember what ever you buy, you are going to be tied into that brand for
some time, when you start buying lenses,flash and other bit's it soon
becomes very costly to change brand.
I'm a Canon user, and have a 40D, but I almost switched to Nikon when I
bourght it, but it was cost of kit replacement that swung it for me.
Be sure the range has what you want, not the particular camera, because
you
are going to be stuck with that range for a while unless you have cash to
spare.
