Which is better canon rebel or nikon d90?

Which is better and why? I'm thinking about putting my nikon d3000 and a lens i bought online and buying a rebel or nikon. Which do YOU think is better and why i'm not sure which to buy

The Nikon, it's a mid-level camera, the Canon is entry level.

The D90 is a mid-level dslr, the rebel series is more of a beginners model.

Unless the D90 comes with a lens, you may want to keep the lens that came with your D3000.

The D90 has a magnesium core and has environmental seals to prevent moisture and dust from from entering the camera under adverse shooting conditions

The entry level Canon Rebels are plastic with NO seals against dust and moisture.

Try selling your D3000 on craigslist in a city near you. You can get cash for your camera and not run the risk of getting a counterfeit cashiers check

The nikon.

If you think this will automagically improve your photography you are wrong. That would require a more lengthy discussion to find out what your d3000 is not doing for you and what you've tried to do to solve that.

D90 is 3 years old. It used to compete with Canon 50D, which is also not available.

Rebels are a lower line, so D90 is better. But due to newer technology, rebels have less noise, higher max ISO, better video. So do Nikon D3100 and D5100.

Here's a DSLR Buying Guide - http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2009/11/which-dslr-to-buy/

Go for Nikon D90
1. Fantastic set of separate buttons on the camera to control parameters like ISO, white balance, metering, autofocus, image quality, shooting mode, etc.
2. Two command dials
3. High resolution 920K pixel LCD screen (like the one on the Nikon D300)
4. 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor
5. Low noise high ISO capability (for low light shooting) I can shoot ISO 1600 with good image quality with this camera, while on my D40x I could only shoot with ISO 400 and obtain acceptable IQ. I will even use ISO 3200 frequently with very usable results!
6. Separate top-viewing LCD screen in addition to the rear high res screen, to show shooting parameters constantly
7.In-body focus motor which allows the use of Nikon's non AF-I/S lenses, including wonderful and CHEAP prime lenses such as the Nikkor 50mm 1.8
