For anyone interested in selling prints of your work, check out these sites.

popmount.com

Custom laminating service - Design by Vision.

I've had just two small prints done by Pop Mount with white edging and I just love it! The print quality is just awesome! However, Design by Vision located in California, does not do printing. I printed prints from my printer and mailed the prints to them. I still have yet to see their mount work. I like them because they can do double mounts. A mount on top of another mount. Check these out. This would be a fun way to sell print and mounts to people that might want something pretty that you have taken to hang on their walls!

When it comes down to the element of photography as an art, Nikon or Canon are the exact same, both offer the same lenses and accessories, what makes photography is ones composition and more importantly, the light, i view Nikon and Canon as the same thing with two routes. like picking your dream car in either red or blue, its the same thing, you only like one better; because, its cooler. I chose Canon.

I only have one Dslr, a Nikon D90. But from all I've heard, and seen, Canon makes a significantly bigger and heavier body than Nikon.

I only know one professional photographer, he's actually more into video production now. He was playing with my D90 and kept saying over and over how he's going to switch to Nikon because he's tired of all the weight and bulkiness of the Canon. That would be saying a lot because he has such an investment in Canon lenses.
But he says that there are converters he would use that make the Canon lenses work on Nikon.

I own two nikons but I have messed around with my friends cameras countless times which happen to be a canon and an olympus. And I must say I really dont like olympus at all (who does)

but the canon is very nice but yet the XS feels very very cheap in the hand but it does put out some great pictures. Nikon feels great in the hand, always but canon not so much it seems. BUT they both put out amazing pictures so really cant compare if you ask me. Its more about the photographer not the camera.

I've had canon before and I wasn't happy with it. After I moved to Nikon I saw a HUGE difference! Nikon's faster, more comfortable, has better image quality. Everything's better about Nikon!

And who's saying Nikon's more expensive? Nikon D90 beats the Canon 5D!!

*is shocked that there isn't a fight yet!*

fight fight fight fight!

anyway far as I can see it I have yet to see a nikon shooter consistantly outclass a canon or the other way around. Both systems are well suited to pretty much any kind of photography and lens options are diverse for both brands, both in house and 3rd party.
Biggest difference appears to be in bodies, but they change so quickly that its really impossible to stick with the best unless your willing to up and sell all your gear every few years to stick with "the best for you". Some are willing to do this and to invest in new gear - often Pros that earn big money of their gear - amateurs tend to stick with their system or invest separatly in the new one.

Far as I can see it the only big lens difference between canon and nikon is the MPE 65mm macro - which is a very specialised lens anyway
