canon xsi right now..old enough to be cheap(300ish) and new enough to be relevant

yet if there is not a need to learn the works, an all in one digicam will work better for cheaper. half the price with tones of features that think for you, without having to buy new additional stuff to make it work the way you want it to... gawd I do love the new image sensors on canon's t2+ cameras though. you get what you pay for, but if you pay a bunch and don't learn how to use it, you just paid to look like you have expensive equipment.
