test and feel both cameras if asa mas gusto gyud nimo...total its more on personal preference ra gyud na...i dont really care if my friends using other brand from my system (been there already)....cz in the end, you will still learn even if lain ila system gigamit as long naa kay passion sa photography....
but if u are willing to learn fast, i suggest d5000,,, coz the 5kr's community is very active and im sure daghan makatabang nimo....
this might help you decide what system(a nikon or a canon) you'd like to start with...comments from the pros:

its a flagship on both system...so expect same POV on lower models ....weither you stay or switch...
