As long as you stick to Canon or Nikon, you're in good shape. Both companies offer competitive products, even at the entry level, and both companies have lots of future upgrade options.

Can't really go wrong with either camp. Just check the bodies out and see which one you like better.

With Canon, I would definitely avoid the Rebel XS. It's a somewhat crappy camera because a lot of features have been crippled / watered-down. I would go for the Rebel T1i instead. If $$ was really a concern, I would opt for the Rebel XSi, which is 1 generation older than the T1i.

Similarly, I would avoid the Nikon D60 and opt for the D5000 instead if Nikon is the brand I'm after.

From an equipment's point of view, bear in mind that the camera body itself is not the important factor of consideration. You want to look at lense selection and affordability because that will have a bigger effect in determining your photo's image quality.

if i am U, who have certain SLR experience, i will not buy a entry level cam.
I would buy a used 5D. it is not much more then a new T1i, but full frame does make a different.

I quite agree that at the $1500 price point, a used 5D is a major bargain. However, a lot of people are not too comfortable buying used, and that is really quite unfortunate.

The moment you consider the used market, a ton of new possibility opens up.
