Hey, I'm new to the forum here, I've read around a bit and actually work at Best Buy (my favorite dpt being Digital Imaging ) and from everything I've learned there and through speaking to customers I've narrowed down my choices to either a Canon XTi or Nikon D60.

I hope this isn't just repeat drivel that I wasn't able to find upon reading through this forum some.. but any help you guys could give me would be great! I'd be getting a 55-250mm (maybe 200mm for the Nikon?) image stabilizing lens to go with the kit (18-55mm IS/VR) lens as well.

I'd mainly be using it in 'expedition' type travel, either based out of my Toyota 4x4 or stored in a bag in the saddlebags on a BMW Dakar (motorcycle).

Which do you all think would work better and take better pictures? Durability is premier as well, I might add.
