Rebel series camera is borderline toyish with cheap plastic and cheap grip. The price is not significant enough that D90 is a deal breaker, but the rebel will get old much quicker than the D90.Another issue with the rebel series is the LCD screen. Everytime you take a photo, you will need to look at the view finder to change settings as well. For a D90, the LCD at the top of the camera helps you switch settings quickly. Oh and yes, lenses. Most prosumer Canon lenses are sub par. You will only get decent/better results and colour by getting the cheaper L lens which will still cost $700-$1000. For Nikon, you can choose D or G lenses, depending on your budget and you still get quality optics within the $300-$700 range. Looking at your options, I would actually recommend you getting a D90 body only and invest more in a better lens. 18-70mm is a decent lens, but for a little extra money, you can probably get better optics as well. Canon offers 18-55mm and 55-200mm which is ok. But you're looking at a dead-end kit. If you decide to spend more on better lens, you will still have to sell those lenses anyway and you'll be stuck with a subpar body.Here's a funny observation: If you're the type to buy a prosumer DSLR and sell after one year of purchasing it - you're probably buying a Canon (Rebel especially). If you buy a camera and actually keep it - you most likely have a Nikon <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
