You're right. Thanks!

Yes, certainly. Also be on watch for Lightroom 3 or Aperture for photo organizing and raw processing.

Yes, usually when it rains :).
Photography umbrellas are very easy to break, which is why I don't spend a lot of $$ on nice umbrellas. Usually Photoflex umbrellas are well built and nicely priced. I would start with a 42 inch umbrella. Choose from this list: http://t-it.us/BHPhotoflexUmbrellas -
Picture-wise there are very few subtle differences - mostly how each camera interprets contrast & colors and how well it performs at high ISO.
When it comes to lenses, there are, again, very subtle differences that you only start to understand after many years of practice. In some cases I found Canon lenses to be softer than Nikon, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Too sharp can be boring.
If you are talking about functionality, it depends on the model which you are using. I think that Nikon offers more functionality and buttons/knobs, which is great when you want to change lots of settings without taking your eye off the viewfinder, but it can be overwhelming if you don't know your camera.
As far as durability, they both have their faults. Nikon feels more rugged, but the rubber comes off after using the camera in extreme weather. Canon feels cheap, but I've never had an issue with stuff coming off it.
If you are a big off-camera-flash fan, Nikon is the way to go. If you shoot a lot of video, Canon is your best choice. -
Right now a Nikon D300. Have been postponing going to full frame until Nikon comes up with the D700 update. For film I shoot mainly a Pentax ME Super and Nikon N90s. Sometimes an Olympus OM-1 or Minolta XE-7

I use ScanDigital - they are dirt cheap and do a very good job for pretty much anything ranging from 35mm film, to medium format, to 8mm video, VHS, etc. http://t-it.us/tbScanDigital. For serious film scanning use Richard Photo Lab http://t-it.us/RPhotoLab, but they are significantly more expensive

Nikon 35mm f/1.8 AF-S for everyday portraits (http://t-it.us/ADNikon35mm18) nd 50mm f/1.8 for studio when I don't shoot against white backdrops (http://t-it.us/ADNikon50mm18). The 50mm f/1.8 won't work on D3000 series or D5000, so you should get the AF-S version - http://t-it.us/ADNikon50mm18DX. If you can afford it, the Nikon 85mm f/1.4 is fantastic, and the Canon 85mm f/1.2 is divine ;)

I like Todd Lake (http://t-it.us/ToddLakeMboro), certain sections of the Greenway (under the Medical Center Parkway) and this place: http://t-it.us/qMUqeW (end of Greenway). I also like shooting by the new hospital where the big pile of dirt/weeds is - great place for sunsets. That's where I got the big photo of the sunset and rainbow.
