In the DSLR range if you stick with a mainstream like Nikon or Canon you will be set to take great pictures. Both brands are fantastic. The way the camera feels in YOUR hands is a big difference between the brands.
Know that you can't judge by pictures. good pictures are the product of good use of a camera. I'm a newbie - folks who know how to work WITH the camera can take better pictures than what I posted with a 1st generation DSLR.
The body of the camera stores what the lens lets through - Nikon and Canon both do that very well - the lens is the key factor. if you spend money on lenses (which is where money should be spent), both will shoot the same quality pictures. I went for Nikon for a couple reasons (1) I can hold it with one hand comfortably and securely and do almost everything with one hand (lets the other hand hold the lens) (2) I have a strange attraction to Nikon (3) I have friends with Nikon lenses out the rear (except the one lens I want to try (105 macro).
both will shoot the same quality if equipped with an equivalent lens & operator. go with what feels better.
here is a history lesson on Nikon VS Canon:

We have a Canon EOS 6D slr, but I prefer my daughters underwater powershot for tank pictures. I think that you can pick those up for less than $200.
