Nope that review is useless now coz nikons new sensor is superb which is in D3100, D5100 and D7000...and D5100 have same sensor a D7000 soo chances r that picture quality of D5100 may be better
But overall I think canon 550D wins

Go to a store, take both the cameras in hand, fiddle a little, try some shots, buy the one which feels more comfortable to you.

If that is so then let him take it! If his hand is smaller he may like the Canon too. He may like the button placements in Canon better too. He may like the menu in Canon better too. Or maybe he may like the flip screen in Nikon too.
I am telling all these coz both the cameras are equally good, no definite winner, so he must take the one which "feels" better to him after handling. This is your tool towards creating photographs, so you better buy which makes you feel better, than merely running towards specs.
You never know whether one will like Nikon or Canon better!

When both the models has a very little different in spech & performance, u should choose whichever is more comfortable to you.

I disagree that specwise 550D beats D5100. If you say 5 points in favour of 550D, you will also be able to say 5 points in favour of D5100. Like I said, there is no definite winner.
About the 2 so called "advantages" you mentioned in 550D:
1. In body motor factor: Only advantage he will get is by using the 50mm f/1.8 lens of Canon. Otherwise, you will now practically get all lenses with built in motor variant.
2. I will like to tell you that video recording in D5100 is also superb, if not better than 550D.

I'm not sure I understand. My 50mm f/1.8 has a built in dc motor.
@Rock_dj:-
As Sounava said, go to the a store and check out the cameras yourself. Take some pics, compare the images at 100% magnification and see which one you prefer. Bear in mind that image quality will also depend on the LCDs on the cameras, so its best if you can view sample images elsewhere.
Personally, if this is your first slr, I don't think it'll matter what you take.
anyways we are talking about autofocus motor which comes in 13k model
