Re: photography buffs, help me buy a DSLR camera

Canon also have some specialized lenses that I don't think Nikon can match. Like the 50 mm f/1.2, 85 mm f/1.2 (which I have) and 200 mm f/2. And tilt and shift lenses. Somebody correct me if Nikon have lenses that match these.
They're expensive though, so it doesn't matter too much to the average photographer.
I have a couple of friends that own Nikons and they're all happy with their cameras. You really can't go wrong with either brand.

Nikon has f1.4 versions of the 50mm and 85mm lenses,and a manual focus 50mm f1.2. They also have a 200mm f2. The 50mm f1.4 is pretty reasonable, less than $300, but the others are pretty pricey, very much so for the 200mm (more than $4k).
And to second, or third (or fourth) it - either brand should work just fine.
