I love my Nikon D50
Doc,
I love my Nikon D50. It's an absolute bargain at $620 (B&H Photo) with a Nikon 18-55mm lens. The D50 is a 6 megapixel camera by the way. I looked long and hard at the Canon Digital Rebel, but that camera just didn't feel good in my hands. The D50 may be Nikon's entry level SLR, but it's rock solid, takes amazing images, and handles like a professional SLR.
I've had no issues with the user interface. I learned it in a few days, and I've been shooting like crazy every since.
If you're looking at Canon, consider their new D30. It's at a completely different price point ($1500 with a lens), but it's a much better camera than the 350D, and it's half the price of the 5D, which is a serious pro camera with a full-frame sensor.
My dream camera is the Nikon D200, a really wonderful new SLR. You have to wait a few weeks to get one, but I'm reading and hearing great things about.
Good luck - I've been enjoying your blog and your appearances on Gillmor Gang for a long time!
