Answer by Trevor E
Second-hand Nikon D80,
24-135mm for everyday shooting
1.8f 50mm lens for incredible depth of field.

Canon G 9 for gigs and suchlike. Massive screen, completely manual if you want to use it like that.

Both Canon and Nikon make excellent cameras. There is a price and specification difference between the two models you list, a closer match would be the Rebel XS / 1000D, in price and specification.

The T2i / 550D has almost double the resoltion, a better AF system, depth of field preview and a video mode that betters than in any of Nikons DSLRs. A better match for the T2i in terms of cost and specificiation would be the Nikon D90.

I am a very satisfied Canon user (XTi & 7D) and can wholeheartedly recommend their cameras, lenses and system accessories.

However it is you who is using the camera, not me. Go into a shop and try each in the hand, look at the screen, and try the menus. That is probably going to determine your choice rather than dry stats.
