I don't know much about the Nikon cameras...but I use a Canon Rebel Xsi. I borrowed my aunt's Rebel X previously and I definitely recommend spending the extra money to purchase the Xsi...it's so worth it.

For just a friends/family either of these is a good choice. My advice is to go try each out. Hold them, play with the menus, etc. See which one feels more comfortable in your hands.

I personally went with Nikon simply because it felt a lot more comfortable in my hands. I would say though if you like the Canon, if possible go with at least the XTi ($629 w/lens on Amazon)
