I have a Nikon DSLR.
I upgraded to a DSLR from a Canon P&S. i still like the Canon, but I was having trouble taking pictures of fast moving objects (my dog) with it. I started looking at Canon & Nikon DSLRs, plus some of the new mirrorless / MFT cameras. I hadn't totally made up my mind when a photographer friend / person who did the pictures at my wedding, started selling her Nikon gear to change over to Canon. She was selling her first DLSR, which also happened to be the camera she used at my wedding (which was also the first wedding she did). I jumped at the chance to get it. It was a D80. Great camera, and I love it to bits. It did start having issues about a year after I got it, so I sent it to Nikon to be fixed, but also got a D7000 for Christmas and use the D80 as a back up / husband camera.
I'm also always keeping my eye out for a good deal on a MFT to use when traveling. Traveling with a DSLR, plus a few lenses really takes up a lot of room, lol.
