As a Freelance photographer, durability is a big concern for me. I use Nikon 35mm Equipment, and love it. This stuff has been thrown around like nothing else. I will always recommend Nikon for anything.
Some friends of mine asked what camera to get for under $500, I told them to get the Coolpix 575, I think, They love it. The 775 and 885 have had great reviews in magazines that I get. If you don't go with Nikon I would take the Cannon, Cannon has also gotten great reviews for their digital cameras.
