If I was starting out with no camera or lenses to build from....this is what I would get.

Under $1000 - Nikon d50 OR Canon 350

$1000 - $2000 - Canon 20d

Then after that..the new Canon 5d coming out is going to be around $3000 to $3500.. I would pee on myself to own one...

I would not venture outside the Canon or Nikon realm for consumer digital SLRs...no way.... The lens choices, support, resale market for lenses and camera bodies. I'm in a relatively large camera club and I no of no one who doesn't use Nikon or Canon. I am sure that no one who has placed in a a competition uses anything other than those two as well.
