No, Really. Bite me.
Not too fragile either. Doesn't like rain, obviously.

Naimah painfully thought these words up:
So the general agreement is that Cannon is a better deal? Then what lense should I go with? I can only fit one lower end lense into the purchase so what mm rating lense should I go with?
well, if you can only afford a low level canon lens, then i'd say to go with a 24-70 or 28-105 with as big of an aperture as you can afford. But the canon is only goinf to outperform the nikon if you spend the cash for some decent lenses at some point.
If you're not willing to sink another $500-700 into lenses down the road, you might be better off getting the nikon and a good lens, than the canon and a mediocre lens.
Typically, you want to spend %50 - %100+ of the price of your camera body on lenses for it, on order to get good results.
However, my suggestion would be to wait ond get a good lens, instead of getting a great body and a crappy lens right now.
And remember, since your CMOS is smaller than a standard 35mm film frame, your effective lens length will be longer.
so a 24-70 will act the same as a 38.5-112 lens on a 35mm camera.
No, Really. Bite me.
