That should pretty much get u started for a good while.
canon's are a good camera too... i just found nikons to be easier to use for me...

but when it comes to p&s cameras, i always go canon
lets not start the CANON/nikon war again...

its just a matter of preference between the two

I've been looking at some cameras.

I'm still unsure whether to get a cannon or nikon.

My budget is about 900.

It'll mostly be for daytime shots, and stationary objects. But would LOVE (x100) to take pictures of some fast moving objects, prefferably cars ^^

Night shots... ehhh not to many of those. Maybe of fireworks and cars that look like xmas trees, but thats about it.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
id say try both company out, Nikon and Canon. See what you like, feel what you like. Play with all the buttons and Menus, then go from there. For your budget, you can easily get a D90 or XSI. check a few pages back I posted my own noise test to see how much noise it gets when you crank up the ISO. if your willing to drive to B&H, do it. great place to try cameras out. but if ur far, check with your local Ritz. I personally picked Nikon due to ease of use but I would pick Canon for their HD Camcorder. I have been eyeing out their HV20 or HV21 model and attached a Letus 35 on it and call it a day.

Yeah that is a good price. However, I've been reading up on the features of both. The D200 has a metal body, but the D90 has the CMOS sensor from the D300 which is really appealing. The D200 has ISO100 ability but the D90 performs well even at ISO3200 and has a better LCD screen. The D90 is 12mp whereas the D200 is 10mp. I'm leaning toward the D90.

As hippie as this may sound, go take nature shots. There's state parks, national parks, state forests, etc EVERYWHERE! Either that or get a macro setup (lens+extension tubes) and explore the small world. Every time I take a pic of a bug, I'm amazed at what comes out of it.

Ex.

Here's my latest

Five Axis
1.


I enjoy this shot because of the unintentional darth vader shadow haha (though I do know that the quality could have been better)
2.


I was trying to get the white IS reflection in my car but for some reason, that didn't work. But I still liked the way the shot came out, as odd of an angle as it turned out to be
3.


And of course I have to throw a cat in the mix
4.

ahh, thats just it, I have that setup WITH tubes. You can't have a super long tube other wise the focal point will theoretically be INSIDE the lens, but hey, it's rpetty amazing. If you're a canon shooter, just go get the 65mm MP-E...that's a GREAT macro lens. Just make sure you've got a lot of light.
