I'd go for the Drebel XT (but I'm biast towards that, since it's what I've got) or the Nikon D50, personally. That's mainly because I'm fairly sure there's a larger choice of better quality lenses available for the two, because after you get a dSLR that's where all your money goes. Currently thinking about buying a lens that costs more than my 350d (DRebel XT) did when I bought it early last year.
