so i want to jump into the world of DSLR and aside from being a crazy picture taker have no skills as a photographer. i take many shots and delete bad ones in the hopes that some will be really nice.
i do play with iso and shutter speed for night shots and do a little basic config to get some shots but typically shoot in auto mode with my cannon point and shoot.
i tired the D90 6 months ago and in auto mode the pix were amazing. i think with this camera all you need to do is rest the button and it will do the rest and make GREAT shots.
i know the specs on the t2i are better and the D90 is a few years old...
what would you suggest i do in my hunt to buy a great DSLR and get out there shooting???
Answer
There is no way to go wrong with ANY modern DSLR, however you should choose the one that best fits your needs.
I don't know why you are comparing these two particular models. Between the 2, the Canon T2i is newer but the Nikon D90 is a more advanced model. In practical terms this means you get higher resolution in images and video with the T2i. But, you get a better user-interface with the D90 including dual-control dials and a larger viewfinder. The D90 also has a faster continuous drive with deeper buffer, but it only matters if those are important to you.
Between those two I'd choose the D90 because controls are more important to photography than megapixels. The most important thing you should consider is that each camera gives you access to a different collection of lenses.
If you prefer Canon lenses go with them. Over time lenses will take on much more value than your camera, so changing brands get harder for most people. You will easily be able to upgrade to a more advanced model later, if you can't do it now. The Canon 60D would be the latest equivalent in the category of the D90, previous models where the 40D and 50D and you may be able to find them at a good price. Of those, only the 60D has a movie-mode, if that matters to you.
