Amateur or so, willing to get his first (personal) SLR.
(Making pictures in museums, art galleries, large cities)
D90 stuff I admit is a bit too expensive and does bite… but if there is a real benefit from it (aka if getting a $100 less will make me regret it in future)
Other options:
Canon Rebel Xsi w. 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS
Sony A350 w. SAL 18-70mm f3.5-5.6
Sony DSLR-A330 w. 18-55mm Lens
Olympus E-620 W. 14-42mm
Sony DSLR-A330 w. 18-55mm Lens
I got a Nikon D5000 and two lenses. Let’s make a test drive.
Although it is getting a little old the D40 is a perfectly fine camera for a beginner (better than the D60). A new D40 kit with 18mm-55mm lens is about $472.00 including free shipping. The next camera I would consider is the D3000 kit with 18mm-55mm lens for about $585.00 including free shipping from adorama.com. The D3000 is a much easier camera for a beginner (has a nice guide feature), not to mention it just came out on the market so it will hold its resale value better. Also, the D3000 kit lens is a VR lens, whereas D40 kit lens does not have vibration reduction technology, thus making the D3000 an even better value. Check out the two links below for a great review of both cameras. The Canon XSi (450D) about $630.00 for the kit, gives you a little more features for your dollar, but I have always preferred Nikon’s so I am a little biased toward them. I don’t know what your budget is, but the next cameras I would consider are the Nikon D5000 and then the D90 (both have the best picture quality since they both use the exact same sensor). If you prefer Canon then I would take a serious look at the T1i (500D). Take a look at the last link below for a great review of the T1i.

What is your budget, camera body is not everything. A high quality camera body need a good lens to actually make a good use.
Of all camera you mention d90 is the best out the group but definite cost more, however if i were you i get the d90 body not the kit lens, since since you paid like 300 more for that lens and most people don’t think it worth it is definite picture come out not as good as 28-55mm vr.
D5000 kit lens is possible the best deal now, just little over 700. T1i is also a good choice, you should try both canon t1i and d5000 to decide, d5000 does better in low light but in outdoor (regoluar setting) t1i does better job due to higher pixel.
