I have the Nikon D40 and love it.
Check out each camera at a store to see how they feel in your hand.
The Canon would work out well as your friend already owns one and can share in your learning experience, not to mention the sharing of lenses ect. It's always nice to have someone with you on your photoshoots and comparing your results.
My opinion = Go with a Canon and enjoy photography with your friend. I own Nikon, but both are top notch Cameras.
