I hate sony, it's slow and loud.

xti and d60 are great straters. xsi is awesome too.

As far as for your girlfriend, Olympus makes female oriented DSLRs.

I went to Ritz, and had all DSLRs side by side, played with all of them for a few hours and bought d60. Try that with your girlfriend.

amen to that. pick up each one and see what fits comfortably in your hands. xti is much cheaper than the xsi if you're on a limited budget. can't really speak much for nikon's since i only shoot canon...

I've got the xsi and i love it. pretty intuitive, so it's easy to learn. also has a lot of "basic" modes that don't really require much input.

read up on it, you'll fall in love. just like i did.

ive got the sony a300, pretty bitchin camera with live view, great resoulution, and a tiltable LCD.
would highly recommend it. But it can be a bit pricey

Get the Canon Rebel XTi. that what i got. and its fairly easy to learn.
or something a little better, you should try the rebel xsi.

I've been looking at the

d80
Canon digital rebel EOS

What are some good starting camera's guys?
