Hey guys i am planning to buy the SLR camera, but its becomming hard for me to decide which one to pick. I came across two choices.One is Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera and other is Nikon - 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera.

Technically it seems Canon is better because it has 10.1 MP and it is also giving a deal on Telephoto Lense. But I have a feeling that photo quality is better with Nikon. I am completely illitrate about SLR camera, so I have no idea which one is better. I am not very much concerned about the MP but I just need to know which one works better for the amature like me as I dont have a very steady hand .

Basically I am interested in landscape and potrait photography. Please guys help me on this.
