I've really enjoyed the image stabilization thing.  I never thought I needed it, but it has allowed me to take a lot more low-light shots w/o flash.  Things like indoor portraits just look dreamy in natural light.

Expect that pic to be changed to the man showing his drumstick at anytime.

Hotlinking is so naughty.

We own Nikon D100, D70, and D200.  I prefer the D100 and the D200 because we have the extra battery mount on them which gives them the size and heft that makes it more comfortable for me.  The extra battery mount also has an extra trigger so to speak that allows for natural taking of the vertical shot rather than the awkward holding of the hands to trigger the shot.

We vacation often with another couple and they have the Canons.

Don't think you will go wrong with any of these 2 systems.

Went with the K100.  Allowed me to get an 80-300 lens, nice bag and other goodies and stay (almost) within my budget.  The missus was delighted.

Thanks for all the help.  I truly believe all models mentioned are good and it's tough to go wrong.  Comes down to a few personal preferences more than anything else.
