camera...

Ok, so I don't know if I have posted this but I am going on a girls trip to Seattle for New Years Eve :) annnnd I want to take a good camera, I have been debating buying a good camera for quite some time... a cannon or nikon SLR model. http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.CM_SCID.coll.item.E203104.desc.Canon-Rebel-T1i-151MP-SLR-1855mm-Lens-2GB-Card-Cable-Bag

This one is on payment plans and I could, eerr would, afford it... I should be saving money but whatever, LOL.

I have a Kodak that is ok but I want to take good pictures, GWIM.

So friends, give me your camera opinions. What do you use, what do your drool over and what do you think I should do.....
