I know only enough to be dangerous. Top notch offerings from either Canon or Nikon. If you have experience with canon 35mm, you'd probably like a canon dslr as the controls should be familiar. If you have existing 35mm canon lenses, they may be compatible with a canon dslr, which is another reason to stay with the brand. Many of the consumer dslrs have a "crop sensor", which I believe is in reference to the size of the sensor vs. the 35mm film format. This also means that on a crop sensor, the equivalent focal length of a lens in 35mm format will be a larger number. In other words, on a crop sensor camera, your 35mm lenses won't produce the same image as you are accustomed to using 35mm film. There are dslrs that have full size sensors, which means if your old 35mm lenses are compatible with the body, they will produce similar results as on a 35mm film camera.
