SLR CAMERAS- Nikon or Canon?

I'm looking into buying an SLR camera, but I really don't know anything about the companies and such…
What company would be really good? And if you really know something, please give me advice on models…
ANY information would be greatly appreciated… Thank you!

This has got to be the oldest question on this forum, asked at least several times every day.
I only recommend what I own and know… That is Canon. I have two dslr cameras from Canon,
the Rebel XS and the t1i. Both are excellent.

I suggest you do some shopping and research because no one can decide for you. Here's a good place to start.

Canon and Nikon are equally good. Go to a store, hold those models you can afford. Play with the controls and buy the one that feels most comfortable.

I'm not sure if you mean a Digital SLR or a Film SLR. If you mean Film then I prefer Nikon for its backward compatibility. If you mean Digital I prefer Canon because I think their Images look "nicer". I know Nicer doesn't really mean much and is very subjective, but I find that the people that take more artistic and beautiful images prefer Canon and the people that like to look at spec sheets and zoom into 100% and compare noise prefer Nikon. I suppose that makes Nikon a more precise and professional camera but that doesn't make it take better looking images, in my opinion. I also think the Canon lenses are priced a little bit better and that makes it easier to get into. I just got the Rebel T1i aka. EOS 500D along with the 17-40 L lens and the 50 mm 1.4 and I'm very happy with my purchase. The T1i is an older model but the lens is more important than the camera by far anyway so save on the body and get a pro lens if you are serious about photography whether digital or film.

Canon is the best and every year canon get award for camera… Go to canon site and see it
