BTW why do you choose Nikon and not Canon?
I have tried to save my Lady Queen but once I used the DA* 50-135, I am more impressed how useful that lens is for outdoor and portrait work. If I managed to sell all of my other gear and not much interest shows on the lens, I will keep it for myself -- it is the best street shooter and it works wonder for night time and indoor shooting.
I can only choose one over the other. I am in particular finding the D90 very similar in ergonomics to K20D. It is not in any way better in ergonomics but I am thrilled with trial experience on AF system in Nikon D300 with a 70-200 f/2.8 experience and I have influence by friends. I pick D90 lacking behind D300/D700 because I am amateur and I am afraid of heavier gear.
I have friends with 5D and Canon 40D,50D. I seek for better AF in my 2nd system, I pick Nikon over Canon for IQ, noise, and AF. I find Canon 6+ frame per second can be habit forming in gunshot faction in photo shooting. I find my relative with Canon 40D shooting his Canon like a shotgun and I find similar behavior when I tried 50D in bestbuy. Before I know it, I already press 10 shots. It is impressive to say the least, but it is bad-habit forming in photography. Just my personal biased opinion. I am sure Canon will be just as impressive in various areas.
Thanks,
