I am definately a beginner, but I want to become better as I love digital cameras.
First let me say that both of these cameras are not aimed at, but can be used by, a beginner. Aside from the obvious 8 MP (Canon) vs. 10 MP (Nikon) debate, both offer a step-up from the entry-level offerings from both manufacturers. Next, I would advise you to go to the home page for this site and read the review for both cameras (or read them again, if you've read them once already). Is there a particular feature or features that jump out as "gotta have" for you? Another important consideration is that since they are comparable models, look at the entire
system (lenses, flashes, accessories) you're buying into. More often than not that's the tie-breaker for many folks. Finally, as a beginner,
do look at the entry-level models from both (Digital Rebel, D50) and see if either of these suit your needs. I got the "money not being an object" statement but 1) avoid jumping into a camera with settings and menus so advanced that you getfrustrated or end up paying for features you don't use and 2) realize that the money saved getting that entry-level body can be used for those lenses, flashes, etc. to further your learning experience and enjoyment.
