I can tell you that for an entry level DSLR the Nikon D90 is a great starter. It has all the options of a great DSLR while still keeping all of the "point and shoot" functions that make PS camera's so easy to use.

Detachable lens means you can upgrade, auto focus built in to the lens, and full control of shutter speed and aperture if you want it. Combine that with 12mp images in .jpg .bmp and .raw/.jpg formats it's everything someone shopping in the 300-800.00 range for a camera

Word of warning!!
Some stores only sale the body make sure your getting the lens and the body when you buy the kit..
