I agree as I shoot with D90 bodies but don't know what budget Penny has for her DSLR purchase. She also seriously needs a zoom lens to go with it too.

D7000 over d90.

Penny you are going to drive us all insane, we cant wait for you to choose and you will probably end up telling us that you bought something totally different, dont forget the most important thing to do is try them out in the shop, see how they feel in your hand and go with the one that feels good, as scotty keeps telling you niether are fully professional cameras but they are good quality cameras, and within your budget, if you could squeeze an extra few hundred then go with the Nikon D90, it will last you a very long time, if you cant then pick the best of what you can afford, and by that I mean what you feel comfortable handling.

If she can wing it, go d7000 over d90.

So if I buy a really good Ryobi or Dewalt miter saw but don't know how to miter that makes me a carpenter ? This is kind of what you are asking Penny. I have taken "pro" images with a 1966 model Konica Autoreflex 35mm film camera which certainly did not look like a "pro" camera body. The instrument you use is not the thing that matters- it boils down to your Talent , vision, and work ethic in making your images as to what it takes to become "pro" at your craft.

True but the term Pro Camera is made by the companies selling them. There are Pro Certification programs only consider some cameras pro, and will only service in those programs those cameras. So there's more than just the concept.

K Penny, if you're gonna go cheap, go for the 550D (JMHO).

If you can spend a bit more money, get the D7000 over the D90. It's better.
