I have all the basic gizmos for home studio. I am now looking for a decent camera - my budget is max 1500 but open for additional 100's if better picture available. I am good at Photoshop so it is possible on my side to do a good post processing on images.
My bottomline is which is the best camera - picture quality wise keeping functionalities, ease of use, body material,grip aside?

If you are only going to do studio photography. That is indoors with flash or continuous lighting, then I would go with Nikon. If you are going out doors for night, sports, or event photography then go with Canon. It all comes down to lenses. Nikon has better lenses for indoor studio photography. Canon has a better lens selection and greater flexibility. Canon has better flashes and the IR remote capability works flawlessly. Both lines have Professional lens lines that are worth every penny. Both have lower consumer lens that are no better than 3rd party company lens (Tamron the best of them). In fact Tamron is making some of the Pro lenses sold under the Nikon and Canon labels.

The Best for your price range is Canon Digital Rebel XT. However, be warned do NOT get the included lens. It is not too good. Just purchase the Canon body and then upgrade to a better lens depending on your application.

I'd recommend you get the entry level model from either Canon (Rebel XT, $700) or Nikon (D50, $550). Save as much as you can for lenses - the lenses determine your image quality!

Something in the Nikon line. They are costly, but the Nikon name says it all..
