Answer by me. on 09 Jan 2010 08:58:48You have many choices.
* Nikon and Canon have the largest systems as well as the largest number of legacy lenses you can buy used
* Pentax, Sony have good cameras and many legacy lenses you can buy used
* Olympus has introduced a reduced size sensor called the 4/3rds, however the systems have not matured to the point where there is a large number of lenses available and there are NO legacy lenses for these cameras.
Buy the least expensive DSLR camera you can find and try to budget for a second lens.
To help you decide, you can go into a camera store and see which of the cameras fits your hands the best.
See which cameras menu is the easiest for you to use to make changes in ISO, camera resolution, white balance, mode switching and make EV changes (a camera with +5/-5 EV could be important to you).
Finally, take an SD card with you and test each camera at their highest and lowest ISO as well as when using the white balance that matches the light in the store as well as with it in the "auto white balance" mode.
Once you get home and are able to see the results on your large computer monitor, you will know which camera is better for your needs and expectations, not ours.
Take your time before you decide. Once you choose one, you will be married to that system for decades and the cost of changing to the other system will cost you nearly as much as a divorce. Be sure to take your time. If unsure, go back and do more tests until you are convinced, which system is best for you.
I suggest the Canon EOS Rebel xsi.
Answer by Lalalalalala on 09 Jan 2010 09:15:50Hey,
I wrote an article on my blog about 'Which DSLR to buy, what's important, what's not, megapixels, brand, features and which models I recommend. You can read it here - [URL Truncated]
There are a number of good brands so don't be sold on the idea one brand is better than another. I would keep your costs down. I would get a DSLR with a short zoom (like a 18-55mm) to start. No reason to spend more than $425 to $550. Either a 10MP or 12MP (MP meaning mega pixel) will do just fine.
I listed some links to websites, the 1st being to a web page that has the 4 DSLRs listed below on a side by side comparison page so that you can compare features and specs. This web pages also have links to reviews 3 of the 4 cameras and include sample images from the cameras. Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and find the best price. Some dealers have some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the "add to cart" button to see the actual price.
Here are some models that I think are well worth researching:
Sony Alpha A230 Digital SLR 10 MP with 18-55mm Lens - $429
Nikon D3000 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $490
EOS Rebel XS 10MP DSLR Digital Camera Kit (Black) with 18-55mm IS Lens - $449
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $550
Hope this helps. Pick a price range, some features you know you want, and even consider which camera feels good in your hand as a factor. Plenty of great cameras, get one you like and start learning the principles of photography and you will be on your way to making some great images. If you have any questions and if you think I can be of help then please do contact me.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

I would suggest Nikon D3000 or Canon Rebel XS. They are user friendly camera, easy to use and provide great image quality.
If you want Live View to view subject on lcd monitor Canon Rebel XS is your good choice
but if you want 11 point auto focus for sharp & clear picture & bigger 3" lcd then D3000 is the way o go.
