Cameras And Shots

Ive been getting into Photography recently taking various shots with my cheap Kodak digital and they dont turn out to bad but could be better. Ive been throwing around a few Cameras in mind like the Nikon D3000, Olympus E-520, Canon rebel eos xsi efs-18-55is, Sony a330. could anyone shed some light on these cameras and what they think and some of their shots with their cameras so i can get an idea on what to get. Im really leaning towards the Nikon D3000. Are their any other cameras out their that i missed ?
 
Thanks guys........

Stick with nikon or canon. I haven't heard that many great things about the xsi. The canon t1I or t2I have been getting great reviews on the other hand.

i shoot with the canon xs but i also have a really good lens on there. the 18-55 is not a bad peice of glass but i would stick with L series glass.    this was with the 18-55 

i got the rebel xt and love it. just get a decent body and great glass.

I have a couple of co-wworkers that are into photography and they both tell me that Cannon is the best camera but nikon makes the better lense.I personally have a cannon but is not an SLR. If I ever upgrade I think I will try nikon to have the beeter lense.  

I use a Canon 20D, 30D and and an older Canon digital D60, I also have a Canon EOS 5 Film Camera which uses all my digital lenses and flashes....I started out on a XTibut would skip the Rebel line altogether if I had to do it again...Canon has some great lenses and not just in the "L" lens line.and Tamron and Sigma make some lenses that rival the "L" lenses for a lot better price...Check out B&H or Adorama and look at their used 30D, 40D or 50D cameras...save yourself some money buying used....they all come with a warranty thru the shop so if anything goes bad your covered....

i just got a nikon d5000 and works great, but i am still trying to learn some stuff.

forgot, you can see some of my pics at Picsand Deviant Art gallery

I just got my canon rebel T1i with 18-55 lense and i love it im kinda new to the photography stuff i had a little 8 MP sony i did a little with but i wanna get more into so any help would be greatly appreciated
