I'll find Casey.
He's local. I just open my door and yell his name.
This is my least favorite of all photography related questions. The simplest answer is to go a to a camera store and ask to hold all of the dSLR's that fall into your price range, you may also try some that are just out of your price range in new condition knowing that you can find it in the used market within your price range.
Look at the cameras and see how they feel in your hands, look at the controls on the camera and see which makes the most sense to you.
When selecting a particular body, it really comes down to what feels best in your hands.
Thanks, Casey.
Oh yeah, and OP... My suggestion would be to stick with a Canon or a Nikon.
Agree with Pswirley-- The entry level dSLRs from both Canon and Nikon perform similarly. I would go to a reputable local camera store and get familiar with a few of them. Whichever one feels more intuitive to you is the one to go with. If you advance past entry level to a mid-level or prosumer camera body in the future, the controls (although slightly more complex with more options) are essentially the same within that specific brand's product line. When you combine this with the fact that the lenses are typically proprietary and won't work on another company's camera body, whatever you choose now will most likely be the brand you stick with from here on out.
So, just like when picking out your Bimmer, get an idea of what you want, do your research, take them for a test drive, and make a well reasoned decision. And as a word of warning: cameras can be just like the Bimmer-- you keep adding mods (new lenses, better post processing software, etc) until you end up somewhat addicted and spending WAY more than you originally intended.
Good luck.
