i am a poor man. let me give u a poor man's advice
1st, canon or nikon? the best choose is to see what most of ur friends are using.

if i am U, who have certain SLR experience, i will not buy a entry level cam.
I would buy a used 5D. it is not much more then a new T1i, but full frame does make a different. it will worth every penny when u go for L lenses. remember, body would become outdated, but lens won't
