Mum bought one recently and is very happy with the quality as well as ease of use!
Also, this site http://www.dpreview.com/ has a lot of good reviews and sample photos of cameras!
Have a look at this comprehensive site for reviews and sample shots from the cameras:-

You don't say how much you have to spend??? Nikon's D200 is supposed to be the new bench mark, but they are rare as rocking horse **** as Nikon can't make em fast enough.
Canon 5d is good, has a larger (full frame which is considered by some to be the future) sensor than the Nikon and faster lenses. Some people think Nikon have gone the wrong way with the 3/4 size sensor and DX lenses but this remains to be seen. Both are ace for any amature.
End of the day have a play with both. I'm Nikon through and through, even though technically the Canon is supposed to be better. Unless your a balding anal retentive like the fools at Focus you wont notice the difference.

Some advice on buying:
1) Try to look at the model you want in a shop and get to touch and feel it.
2) Buy this from a reputable mail order / internet company using your credit (not debit) card (if over �100)
This now gives you extra rights - under distance selling regulations, you can send it back for any reason (you don't like the colour) with in a set period (10 days I think).
By purchasing on your credit card, you also have the benefit of the Consuemr credit act, and if anything goes wrong with the camera, you can claim through either the supplier OR the credit card company. This means that if the supplier is 'dodgy' or won't honour his warranty, you can go to your card company. This only works for purchases over �100 (and under �30,000)
