nikon… canons suck and arent as user friendly. i love my nikon d60 . d80s and d90s are great too
There is myriad of good cameras out there this days. The nikon D40 is pretty easy to use. Of course, there are other cameras from different brands that are also comparably easy to use
I got a canon xs last year and LOVE it to pieces.
I find it very user friendly.
Another good thing about canons is that all the lenses are universal. So if you decide to get a different model of canon later on, all your lenses will still fit! So word to the wise: don’t buy cheap lenses!
I would totally recommend a canon though. I love my canon, it is my baby.
I own and recommend the XS as well. It’s very easy to learn and use.
The guy who says Canon’s aren’t user friendly obviously has never used one.
The build is superb and so are the photos. Look here to see what I’m getting. Read my notes please, not all were taken with my XS.

Personally stick with Nikon. There AutoFocus is better, and there Lenses are top quality over canon.
The D3000 from Nikon has a new beginner UI and is there Entry Level dslr.
I have used canons before.. I hate there interface and the buttons dont seem to be in the right places.
Check out the D3000 review.

Good Luck
With an SLR you need to be more concerned with the lens than the body. Almost any DSLR will take great photos when attached to a great lens but a poor-quality lens will frustrate the best body. So, for instance, in the Nikon world you should look at top-quality Nikkor ED (low-dispersion) glass or Tamron SP glass with the Nikon mount, and buy a relatively inexpensive entry-level body to put it on. Most Nikon DSLR’s are compatible with most Nikkor lenses. Nikon has used the same F-mount for all of its lenses for decades, but to be certain, check Nikon USA’s compat lists.
Every body can be placed in a full-auto mode and be used precisely like a point’n’shoot. So, in a sense, every camera is extremely simple to use. Likewise, every body will afford you just as much complexity and control as you are willing to undertake. And you’ll find that as you explore that complexity your results will become more and more interesting.
So decide what lens system you want to use first, because that will stay with you across many camera bodies.
Bodies are priced in large part by build quality. Professional Nikons, for instance, have durable, waterproof magnesium bodies and are rated into hundreds of thousands of shutter clicks. Basic comsumer models are made of cheaper materials and are not expected to last beyond 100,000 clicks. But they all do essentially the same thing: modulate aperture, time and sensitivity to light.
i’ve found nikon lenses slow to focus. my canon kit lens focuses faster than some of the high end nikon lenses i’ve used (most notably the 80-400mm VR lens)
image quality is going to be virtually the same though.
I personally like Canon, but I know that Nikon is also a really good brand.
Some good DSLRs to start off with would be the Canon Rebel XS and the Nikon D40.
hi… there are bunch of camera you can start with :
Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP
light and well built, good size LCD screen 3″ with 230K
fixels, high resolution sensor
Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP
Integrates cleaning system, live few functions, almost
compatible with other canon slr accessories, faster auto
focus.
Olympus Evolt E620 12.3MP
Very good with manual focusing, fast Auto focus system,
nice flipping LCD, strong built.
Olympus Evolt E520 10MP
Noise free, good Auto Focus, Great image stabilizations.
Good for outdoor.
highly recommended to look around, do not just look for higher megafixels. there are few factors to considered : LCD sizes – bigger is better since we need to touch the screen to operate the menus, Zoom, body built, weight – carry heavy camera along your neck, will be painful
, Memory slots, batteries, price, etc.
