Two thoughts come to mind. Dropping prices of DSLRs (combined with increased advertising & incomes) have led to a democratization of DSLRs. As a result I see a lot of people carrying one these days & scarecly a week passes without someone asking me which DSLR they should buy when they don't even know the difference between technologies available & their use. These days it looks like everyone is simply matching their camera choice with what they can afford & buying the biggest possible. What people should be doing is getting an understanding of their photography habits & the investment they are ready to make in it. Matching the budget for money & time will allow them to arrive at a better choice than simply buying a DSLR and then using it as a point and shoot. Recently a close friend sought advice from me about buying a DSLR & a Video Camera (he was expecting his first child so the excitement was justified). After a 30 minute discussion on his photography habits, we agreed that all he needed was a great point & shoot with decent video capabilities. That's what he finally bought & is extremely happy with his purchase. Lastly, I think the question "which camera" might be justified from a few 'prosumer' viewers because the colour profile of different sensors varies & as such that might be the reason behind the question, but I guess you know that already.
