Canon or Nikon or others which lens, which Flash?
Right now these are the two mounts I'm looking, but I'm open to any change or any other opinions. My main uses for the camera are more sports oriented skate pictures (exterior and interior), the city night pictures and some portraits. Am looking to spend about $ 1400 or less, when all is said and done (and other things including shipping). All prices are after I bought BHphotovideo.com. This will be my first DSLR and trying to weigh my options. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi $ 520 Canon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Image Stabilizer autofocus lens $ 400 Canon Speedlite 430EX E-TTL II Shoe Mount Flash $ 240 (also 4GB CF card $ 60, flash diffuser $ 15 extra battery for $ 50, $ 25 glass filter) OR $ 1315 Nikon D80 with Nikon 135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-18-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens with two 2GB SD cards $ 1080 nikon sb-600 speedlight i-TTL Shoe Mount Flash $ 180 (extra battery for $ 40, $ 15 glass filter) $ 1.330 Total
Here are some pictures for you to compare. Nikon D80 with 18-135mm. 2Fd80% http://www.flickr.com/search/?cm=nikon & q = 18 + 135 mm-skate & m = text Canon Rebel XTi with 28-135mm.

Hope this is helpful.
