Sorry, but not taking the time to read everyone else's opinions I'm not sure if this has been said. But, especially considering the recent announcement about Minolta, I would strongly recommend getting only one of the 2 leaders in DSLRs - Canon or Nikon.
Once that is decided, consider your proposed uses of the camera and what lenses you may need. Then look at each brand and see what lenses are offered. Personally, I decided on the Canon 20D with the 100-400mm zoom lens (among others).
