Ask Engadget: What's the best entry-level DSLR? {Engadget}
May 29th 2008 6:44PM No doubt in my mind: Canon XSi (450D). Canon offers better prime lenses than Nikon, and that along is reason enough for a newbie to pick Canon over Nikon. And the prices are better.
Get the XSi kit and then later on you can get some nice 'L' lenses. That's the high-end, really high-quality glass lineup of lenses.
The XTi will be a few hundred cheaper now, but the 3" screen, the improved body and ergonomics, and the IS lens in the kit is enough reason to pick the XSi - it will give you room to grow.
If you want some low-light capabilities (since the 18-55mm in the kit won't work pretty much at all without flash inside or in the dark), then get a 50mm f/1.8 for less than $80.
An excellent starting kit for less than $1000.
