youll go with whatever you have lenses for, as starting over w/ a new brand lenses and all are a *****.
I love my xsi to pieces, but i do wish i could afford a 5d or at least a 50d, for a more rugged build. I take good care of it and baby it, so the likelihood of it breaking from misuse is rather slim, but still...a more rugged build would make me lose less sleep at night. Based on what I've seen and researched before i bought this camera, i like canon's iso performance (for equivalent cameras across all makers) more than the others.
I also like that from what i've seen at least, canon lenses seem to be slightly cheaper than nikon, for the same type lens. You're brand loyalty will also depend on which dslr you start on and learn on. I grew up w/ my dads film slr, BUT my canon xsi is my first dslr, and i've grown accustomed to the controls and love where they are, and the ease of use. I pick up a nikon at the store, and its not as instinctual to me. but like i said, my view is kind of biased since I "grew up" on canon.
My XSI has yet to fail me,and its a wonderful camera for what I can afford. Any ill taken shots were my fault and not the camera. On the upgrading front I'll probably be upgrading my lenses asap, then after I get the lenses i want, i'll consider which body, as there will probably have been a ton of new models before i reach that time where i'm ready for a new one.
but it will be a 99% chance that it will be a canon.
