How much are you looking to spend???? You could go crazy with this.... I got a Cannon from walmart for $360 when they went on sale... It was normally $439.... It takes great pics imo and not too bulky either....

I just got into this hobby... I looked on craiglist here and found several cameras to get started in this. I bought a Canon DSLR 30D with the kit lens for $300 and is in great condition. Then you can go from there and buying lens for it

 I would stick to a pre owned DSLR. I prefer Canon but Nikon makes excellent gear as well. If you go Canon, I would stay with the xxD series cameras as apposed to the smaller Rebel series, the xxD are more durable.

 You can find the 20D, 30D and 40D between $250-$500 on CL, either of these would be a great way to get started. Put the money into quality glass, also good deals on CL.
