My first digital camera ever was a Casio EX-Z40. Then I upgraded to another point and shoot: Canon PowerShot SD870 IS. It wasn't until about 2008, when I got my first DSLR, a Nikon D80. Now most recently, since Sept 2011, I have a Nikon D7000! :)
I always get the question of "do you think Nikon or Canon is better?" I think they're both great companies and produce good quality cameras. Both cameras produce amazing results. I think it's more about preference on what you like and are looking for in a camera. What your friends shoot with also may shift your decision since you can personally try their camera and swap lenses on photo-outings! I can't answer that question well because, obviously I know more specifics about Nikon than Canon. I can tell you why I upgraded from a D80 to a D7000. I can tell you what I look for in a camera. But I can't give you a good answer to which brand is better.
That's why I love this quote:
"A photographer went to a socialite party in New York. As he entered the front door, the host said 'I love your pictures - they're wonderful; you must have a fantastic camera.' He said nothing until dinner was finished, then: 'That was a wonderful dinner; you must have a terrific stove.'"

I love my camera. :) It fits perfectly in my hands and isn't too heavy. I'm so glad that I picked up photography as a hobby (Thanks Art! :D). It's a great stress reliever from school/work, motivation for me to improve and challenge myself constantly, great excuse to go exploring new areas and most of all capture beautiful memories to remember.
