Which is the best SLR camera? NIKON-----CANON....?
Nikon D3000, Canon Rebel... I want a digital SLR camera but for less than 600 bucks. I've found both of those for less than $ 550. However, there are too many specs to compare.
ANYONE who has used them, or has any advice from experience?
Im very fond of the Nikon D90. but i dont have the money for it right now. So i am just wanting something amateur----cheap, but with beautiful professional results.

There are a number of good brands so don’t be sold on the idea one brand is better than another. I would keep your costs down. I would get a DSLR with a short zoom (like a 18-55mm) to start. No reason to spend more than $425 to $550. Either a 10MP or 12MP will do just fine.
Below, I listed some links, the first link listed below is to a web page that lists the 3 DSLR cameras I am recommending. This list will let you compare features and specs, also it has links to reviews of the cameras, the reviews include sample images from the cameras. Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some dealers have some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the “add to cart” button to see the actual price.
Here are some models that I think are well worth researching:
Nikon D3000 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens – $449
EOS Rebel XS (1000D) 10MP DSLR Digital Camera Kit w/18-55mm IS Lens – $449
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) – $550
Pick a price range, some features you know you want, and even consider which camera feels good in your hand as a factor. Plenty of great cameras, get one you like and start learning the principles of photography and you will be on your way to making some great images.
If you want to stay under $500 then go Nikon or Canon but, I think the Pentax could be of special interest, since it can do HD video and has excellent quality at higher ISO settings which can be useful in low light places and helping get the picture. These features, especially the HD video, on a Nikon or Canon will cost you $100 to $200 more.
If you have any questions and if you think I can be of help then please do contact me.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

I would recommend the Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
this deal is cheaper than everyone elses suggestions its 369$ free shipping & no tax, it comes with the NikonD3000 & VR kit lens 18-55mm this is the best deal i have found on this camera and buy the way nikon is better just look at it, the back looks better it feels right, canon look at the small screen and you know what they say about small screens
BELOW IS THE LINK FOR THE NIKON D3000

Nikon is more user friendly, so I would go with the D3000
well nikons ergonomics and handling is generaly better. but canon usually has more features. also nikon have little better lens.
