When I went the DSLR Route a few years ago I got a Canon T1i and although a big improvement over the Canon A620 I have it never really "hit the spot" Now a buddy of mine got a Nikon D300 and I have been kicking myself for not getting a higher end body. I know this may not help except that I found after using his higher end set up, that it allows me to be more expressive with my pics as it is better in Low light, better color, sharper, etc. I don't know if a relatively priced Canon would've been as good but then again maybe it would. Try before you buy. I bought mine using specs and it's a start but doesn't tell the whole story.
