Picking a mid-priced DSLR has become very difficult. In the range of $800-$1100 you now have three excellent cameras to choose from: Nikon D90, T1i , or the Canon 50D . The truth is you will be very happy with any of these cameras. They all produce excellent quality images and have similar feature sets with the exception of the D90 and T1i both have a HD movie mode. Ranking the three The D90 is currently on top because of image quality, LCD quality(and having a top LCD), and the beautiful pentaprism viewfinder. Both the T1i and the 50D have more megapixels but most pixel peepers are in agreement that Canon has crammed a few too many pixels (15MP for both Canon Cameras) onto the sensor and as a result noise levels do increase at the higher ISO. And final point that many seem to agree on; ergonomically the D90 is comfortable with smart button placement.

The D90 is an excellent camera with just the right combination of megapixels and features to set it slightly above the rest.
