Which camera is the better choice?

I've been interested in photography for a long time, and I want to get into professional photography. So which camera is a better choice? The CANON EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, or NIKON D60?

The Canon XS/1000D is a similar camera to the Nikon D3000 or D3100. You really need to compare oranges to oranges in the world of digital cameras.

Once you have the necessary skills and experience, you will be buying a professional level camera like the APS-C Nikon D300 or Canon 7D or full frame camera like the Nikon D3s or 1Ds, Mark III. Take a look at them on the Nikon and Canon websites to see what all that means

Have you handled each camera, viewed through the viefinder? I guess you are not comfortable with either camera. Maybe you should try a Pentax DSLR, they have less cluttered viewfinders. Which is better? You mean mechnically? I don't think there's enough difference to influence your choice.

In terms of size and features the Nikon D60 and Canon Rebel XS are similar in many respects, and both have the ability to offer a satisfying user experience. With little difference in price points, differentiating between the two models comes down to a question of performance and underlying technologies that are unique to each of the cameras.
