Q. Should I buy Nikon or Canon?

A. Yes.

If you're dipping your toe in the water and aren't sure what you want to shoot, I'd look for a used body from either of the big manufacturers, and add a mid-range zoom.

I'm a Nikon user, so I'd suggest something like a used D90 with an 18-70mm zoom. The D90 has an auto everything mode to get you started, and the important P,A,S & M modes for when you want to take more control. It will also work well with the vast majority of Nikon lenses.

I'm sure the Canon users can recommend something equivalent from their range.
