Personally, im using canon dslr, have used to it and very nice to use. If budget allowed, you should go for 450d, higher megapixel 12.2, 3.0" large lcd screen, which is good for live view. Higher battery capacity, lenses are cheaper than nikon model. U can browse through internet to compare a few of this model first i listed below:

1. 50mm f/1.8 - standard lense
2. 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6- super zoom lense

Above two lense usually you will need it. For the #2 lense, it is good for travelling if you dont want to chage your lense oftenly.
