You can be sure that the photographer is more limiting than any of these two cameras. Decide which lens system you want to get into.

The difference in sensor size is even less than the 1.5 vs 1.6 lead us to believe since these are both rounded number with the canon rounding up and the nikon rounding down.

However, I agree with ustein. Look over each system and decide which you like. After evaluation, I ultimately ended up with a canon system mostly because I like the way the elan7 fit in my hand over the n80. Some people put a bigger price on size over ergonomics.

I wouldn't worry about "techno" as much as the web will lead you to believe. Now that I'm shooting with a 10d I'm as satisfied as I've ever been with it's quality. It does everything my elan7 did and both do much much more than my oly 0m-2n and 0m-1. Plus, even though I was initially concerned, I'm finding in practice I'm making prints as large as I did with 35mm film without problems. In some ways they're even better.
