i have a nikon d40x and i really like it. there is a new d60 out now as well. it's nikon's equivalent entry-level DSLR to the 400D/450D. small, light, handles well, takes some nice shots. a few of my friends have bought them as well to get into photography.
www.dpreview.com is the best camera review site. have a look there.
gizmodo also covered entry-level DSLRs this week: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/04/new_dslr_battlemodo_canon_rebel_xsi_vs_sony_alpha_a350_vs_nikon_d60_vs_olympus_e420-2.html bear in mind Gizmodo is a gadget site, not a specialist camera review site.

the canons are also great, though.
