Best camera for Portraits

So, I'm looking for a new camera.
I'm a portrait photographer more than anything but also I am devoted to Cannon. However in my research I have found most people recommend a Nikon, and as much as it would pain me, if I must change I will.
I have had so many problems with my Cannon 450D and have herd that it seems to be a bit of a trend amongst cannons and the only one that seems to have over come that would be the 50D and I just don't have that kinda cash.
So if you guys could let me know the best one for capturing people it would be most appreciated, I have grown to love the colour quality of a Nikon so I'm kinda warming to the idea, however I still hate the try hard noise of the shutter :P.

If you can't afford the 50d, what about the 40d, which is an upgrade from your current camera, but not so expensive. Staying would at least allow you to keep your lenses and accessories.
Something like a Hassleblad would be the best, but that is silly money. Nikons are good, but not better, just different. I personally go Cannon due the better lens availability.
I'd be interested to know what the Canon problems were. I've had my 400D for over 2 years now and it's still working perfectly. Most of the people on my BTEC photography course including the lecturer also used Canons without any problems.
I really want a 500D at the mo, I'd prefer a 5D but I aint ever gonna have that kind of cash lying around lol.
