I use a Nikon D200. I have to say I LOVE Nikon, haha. I've dragged this camera through rain forests (for more than a month at a time on-site), motorcycle races in excessively hot (100 F+) temperatures, through storms to get lightning shots, and other such precarious situations--my D200 has never even hiccuped. I had a D100 prior to this, and similarly no complaints. My disclaimer is that I've never owned a Canon DSLR, as my pocketbook won't allow a fair comparison, haha. As others have said, go check them out! You're going to get a good camera either way. My based vote would be to go with Nikon though, as I can testify to their quality. Here are a couple completely unedited shots taken in the field--I don't have many shots online to choose from, but these are decent examples:
Cheers,
