Getting ready to get my first SLR digital camera in the next few months. Went to best buy and talked to the camera guy. He said the difference in the two was the Canon was more user friendly and easier to learn. But he said the Nikon had better lenses. What does the green screen say?

I would suggest you research and make up your own mind by getting your hands on each one and seeing how you like one from the other. There really is little difference in the two brands and it comes down to what seems to be more user friendly for you individually. You will ultimately become familiar with the one you buy over time but one may just seem to make more sense to you as to the layout.
Don't rush yourself and try to educate yourself as much as possible so you really know what is setting one model apart from another as you may elect to not buy either one of those models, not that there is anything wrong with them. Study some online camera reviews and some youtube videos as you can get a lot of information there but again beware as some will push a particular brand because that is what they have.
Now go get that NIKON.

1+ for Canon here, L Glass will hang with the best out there and more options than you have money to buy. To me whichever one you choose spend your money on the glass. New bodies are like computers, hot this year but old news and worth a lot less in a year.
All of the L lens that I own can be sold today for more than I paid for them. Make your choice and stick with it as it can be expensive to change camps a year or two down the road.

I have both (work issues me a d300s). In the beginning I liked the T3i cause of ease of settings. After a 40 hour photo class (work paid ) with the nikon. I like it better.
Get what you want and learn to run it. And NOT in auto! The cannon I have is much lighter than the nikon but the N is a metal body
