I'd get the T2i, without a doubt. Use the kit lens to learn on and figure out how far you want to go with this photography thing, then go from there. Don't expect to be buying tons of lenses right off the bat. Learn the basics with what you have, and bring your skill up to the level of your equipment before you go crazy. Just my 2 cents.
Any photographers in here?

speaking of that who will clean the sensor? the couple camera shops I've been to just say I have to send it back to Nikon and 6-8 weeks they will clean it for $150 or something ridiculous.

You can get cleaning kits and you can find instructions online. If you don't want to..then send it back to get it cleaned.

Or he can surf online and check out
www.dpreview.com and www.megapixel.net for reviews. Which I htink are better than any magazines out there.
Best way to figure out what you need:
budget
what you want to do (key)
what you're looking for and compare models
I got asked last night about a canon t2i and a nikon d90 and I referred the guy to the d90. The fact is that the T2i is still squeezing 18 megapixels into a sensor size smaller than that of the d90 even with its new gapless microlense technology. Fact of the matter is they're still squeezing a lot of pixels into a sensor size smaller than that of the D90. You're going to be wishing for a higher quality lens to compensate for that loss in image quality. You will notice this if you're printing large photos and/or shooting high ISO levels at night.

Now, since he's pretty new to the game, that probably won't matter but why overlook that part?
A few other things that the Canon can do is you can zoom on Live View mode. The Nikon, you can't. And the Canon has a higher resolution screen but that just means your pictures look great on the camera but might not look good on the computer screen. It's kind of a double edged sword.

Ya i did my own. I bought a sensor cleaning kit from a camera store and did it myself. Looked online on a how-to. I took my time. No distractions or anything and went with it super carefully.

Haha, yeah I am quickly falling in love with that 10-22. I thought it would be the 24-70 that I would be attached to, but the 10-22 opens up such a range that I've yet to see before and its so incredibly sharp!
Yeah I have a sensor cleaning kit here and need to hit it before I leave. Spring time here with all the freakin pollen is murder on the poor thing!
You're not the only one to mention it. I could lighten them up a little bit, but I didn't want to blow out that beautiful sky!

See... I read this, and I hear my bank account emptying... FML. I almost... ALMOST wish they made a cheap superwide. Instead I'll have to save for this bad boy.
