To be honest with you, I have NOT shot with a 10D. I picked one up in a camera store in San Francisco and messed around with it. Then, without giving any background to the store owner, I asked him if he'd used it, and how it compared to Nikon products. He told me that if I wanted a camera that would last longer and take more abuse, the Nikon couldn't be beat. It was only after he said that, that I revealed I already had Nikons.
I'd say this: if you live anywhere near a big city, rent a Nikon and a Canon and compare for yourself. Personally, I love Nikon's. They're very fast and stand up to a LOT of abuse. I don't treat my cameras very well. I don't baby them. I shoot the SHIT out of them. And they keep working.
And if you're looking for great skin color quality I'd recommend the Fuji S2 Pro. It takes all Nikkor (Nikon) lenses. It's slower than the D1x (I've never had personal experience with a faster digital than the D1x) but it's lighter and has a built in flash.
The Fuji S2 Pro is what Mutt's photographer (
