Look on Kijiji or another site for a used Canon Rebel T1i. The T2i came out shortly after the T1i and quite a few people who buy into the pixel hype put their T1i's up barely used for $700 with the kit lens included. I have this camera and it is great and I think it takes better pics then my buddies Nikon 5000, the colour saturation in Canon's is better in my opinion. It can also shoot high def video at 1080 dpi or 720. Also, if you like shooting in Live View the T1i has a
high resolution 920,000 dot LCD monitor which is crystal clear. That is a big feature for me as I shoot quite a bit of macro. You can see a comparison write up here. The T1i is actually more in line with Nikon's D90 then the 5000.
