what's a good digital SLR camera?
i've seen people taking gorgeous professional looking pix with digital SLR cameras and i was wondering how you would go about choosing one that fits what you want? i wouldn't mind buying a used one and i know B&H sells those. my main problem is the different features on these digital SLRs...which features are necessary to get a good photo...that sort of deal. i know these cameras run in the thousands when it comes to pricing so yea, just some help would be GREATLY appreciated!
i've taken 2-3 photography classes before which required the usage of a regular SLR camera where you have to print your photos in the darkroom and such...so i do SOMEWHAT recall how to use a regular SLR with the apertures and such. is there a website that would have a walk through of how to use a digital SLR? i would be a beginner 
any particular brand that's good? i've always owned canon cameras because i like their quality. are their digital SLRs just as good or are there other better d-SLR brands?
Very well written, good questions !
Having shot with an SLR, gives you a huge advantage, the rules are basically the same. Those photo classes will serve you well !
B&H is one the more reliable sellers on the net.
Unless you are getting a real good deal, I would personally get a new one, but if can find a good deal on a VERY recent model, that's probably OK too.
The newest models do the best job, with the higher ISO's,
I feel, that you want a lens with IS (image stabilization, Canon)
or VR (Vibration Reduction, Nikon)
That allows you the best shots, in the bad/low light situations, with the least camera/hand shake.
If you like the Canon "ergonomics" stay with them.
I prefer the Nikon layout.
To me, Nikon's control layout is "More Logical".
I use a Nikon D200, usually with an 18-200 VR lens, but I have many older lens, (some going back to the '70's)
I like the layout of the controls
