I was looking for a Canon XSI or a Nikon d60. But after reading around and talking to friends, I decided to go with a Nikon d80.. Just found a used on for $400..Will be picking if up this Saturday. Woohoo!!
Food wifes friend a Canon XTI at office max or office depot for about $300 on clearance. Saw a XTI at sears for about $320. I'd call around (office supply stores, sears, target, etc) to see if they are clearancing out last years model you can probably find great deals on both Canon and Nikon.
