Either Canon or Nikon offers good intro cameras. One thing I don't particularly like about the Canon XTi series is that it doesn't have spot metering on it, I believe the XSi has it though. Other then that, once you start progressing you'll really see the difference a good lens can make, I've finally amassed a decent collection of good lenses but as someone who does this for fun it can really take a while because it is so cost intensive.

Tell me about it. I've had my camera for a year and a half now and this is the first lens I'm buying. I've only had once previous camera spending spree that involved a tripod, some filters and a remote and that nearly came to $500.
