Canon or Nikon? 8MP or 10MP?

[Frog]

I'm a nikon guy but I see in several threads that people do expect a 30d upgrade. Don't know when.
I googled 30d upgrade and found several hits including this one http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00KSys

Thanks Frog. That was actually a great thread. Only thing is that I am still so unsure as to what to do. I am still using my old Kodak DSC5000, which I hate. I am so anxious to buy a new camera and waiting longer is killing me. The Nikon D200 seems to be the better choice over the 30D right now, but it is a bit more $ and I do not know much about it. Can you tell me what might be some of the things it falls short in that I may want at some time? How about pricing? Know of a good priced dealer on the net? And last, should I buy the body and lens eparate or consider the kit? If separate, can you suggest a reasonable all around first lens? With kids in sports I really wanted a telephoto/zoom but with the increased camera price I might not be able to squeeze that in now if I go with the Nikon at the higher price.

Thanks man.
