the 550D's expensive compared to a 1000D for example, and as a first dslr the 1000D is ideal, imo anyway. easy to use, functional, fairly rugged and if dick smith's the same as when i got mine there's a bundle you can get where you get an extra lens and some other cool gear.

@alvin.
Im bias to canon, though my first dslr was a nikon d3100. But in regards to canon vs nikon. Go to shops, have a play. See what youre comfortable with.
Also the main thing is your budget. what are you willing to spend? you can buy a 1000D kit from Jb, or you can go gumtree and pick up a 2nd 550d for around the same prince.

I don't really have a budget. It's just the camera has to be cheap for the features it offers. althougth $1000 is a bit much.How To Make And Upload Signature Pictures!

Fujifilm:
Nikon:
However, with this cameras, their lowlight imaging capabilities are limited and are not quite as good as SLR (apparently and might not be so far from the truth). So I really would just recommend to go with SLRs as you might end up getting something like those bridge cameras and a few months down the road decide that they just aren't good enough.
Another alternative are CSC (Compact System Cameras). They are an emerging trend at the moment in the photography world and most if not all feature an interchangeable lens system. Olympus, Sony and Panasonic offers a good range of compact cameras. However it is quite pricey with price range going from about $600-$1000. And just in case you're interested, here are examples:
Panasonic:
Sony:

Nikon Coolpix:
Canon Ixus:
(This Canon Ixus is the exact same one that I have)
And remember, not just because almost everyone is talking about SLRs and stuff like that, and gives advice to go get them does not mean that more simpler cameras cannot do a good job. Like I said earlier I still use my Canon Ixus and it still does an amazing job at taking great photos. It's not about the camera but rather how you use it. The simplest of tips can improve the quality of photos you take regardless of what camera you use. And there's always post processing. =POriginally posted by jmacman12RLD_evoIX you have good taste

have a look at the 2nd hand market... for sub $1000 you could probably find an older 450/500D or maybe even 30/40D with a kit lens or something.
just remember although having the latest greatest shabang is awesome, its not all gear, its the guy (or girl) behind it.
just as an example here's a dude i know who shoots for tracktostreet in new zealand: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephengeddes/
looking at the photos you wouldn't think he's using a 4 megapixel 1d classic that is what like 7 years old now?| photographiez | le automobile |

if youre limited by the budget, like RLD said get a hybrid. But honestly i know someone who has that, but after months you'll the a creative barrier and you'll wanna buy a slr soon after.
my advice, if limited to a budget. buy 2nd hand, you wont break the bank and if later on you want to upgrade body you can jst keep your lenses.
