I can't see past my Nikon D90, Not only are the images it produces amazing and the whole thing very easy to use considering the depth of adjustment posible and my skill levels but it also does 720P video.
Here are some images from mine, only the first one has had some colour balance adjustment etc in photoshop. Here is a very good resoarsce for information on the camera. http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d90/users-guide/index.htm

on the SLR front .................. 8) I've got 7 Nikon F3's in the cupboard if anyone wants to take them off my hands to subsidise my new brakes ...... (nowt wrong with film yer know lol)
but seriously ........ I have a canon G10 which is awesome, fits in my pocket, takes amazing pics, has loads of manual overide options ..............

My 2 p worth on the Nikon/Canon debate is that my research led me to believe that the Canon motorised lens is controlled from the camera body while the Nikon is in the lens itself. Bottom line is that later on extra lenses become more expnsive and restricted.
I also was demonstrated in more than 1 place that the Canon grip is easier one handed.
Let the real experts correct or confirm

I've heard a lot of good things about the Canon G10/ G11. Small and compact, but able to adjust aperture and shutter speed.
Two of my photog friends always carry one with them. I picked up a Nikon D3s which is an AMAZING piece of work. I know it's not for everyone, but I've been shooting a lot of pictures since I got it.

Nice snap - I'm crap with motion panning - any tips?
That was my first attempt at panning with my DSLR had done it before with a point and shoot but so much easier with a DSLR nearly all my shots got the car in frame but i took loads and plenty were binned plus i tried lots of different shutter speeds.
Make sure you use your legs and hips not just your upper body when panning and make sure your feet are not to close together nearly fell over a few times
i found that i got the best pans knees slightly bent so i could bounce type of thing felt more of a smoother pan not so rigid plus i could pan much quicker the pic above was shot at 1/50 so as to get a nice blurred background and give the feel of speed.Will be trying panning for the second time with this camera at Brands in a few weeks http://ticket.motorsportvision.co.uk/calendar/2010/may/100531-masters-bh-.aspx will be trying out my 55-250mm lens think it will harder to get the cars in frame with a zoom.
I'm under the impression most modern DSLRs are all capable of taking great shots it just comes down to what body shape fits your hands best and which menu structure/organisation you prefer.
I went Canon because there seemed to be more lenses available - from Canon and more affordable other manufacturers. Nothing like an L though!
Great camera, the 6 frames a second is great for action/sport. Here's a shot with the 70-200mm F4L IS:

Thanks Gaz, will have to give that a try. I find it hard to balance background blur and a sharp car - either get on or the other - not! What focal length was that picture at?
