Default Question for you camera junkies

So here is the deal, over the past 4 months I have ammased about $500 in gift cards (the visa ones, from different incentives/promotions here at work) and decided that instead of using these to pay for my weekend getaway to Deals Gap, Im going to break down and buy myself a nice camera...

Here is the question...

What should I purchase and where would be the best place to get it from? Im basicly looking for something simple, kind of a starter camera deal. I guess you could say Im looking for another legal addiction.

Thanks...

There's also the Nikon D40. Great starter camera also. Head to a Ritz Camera, or even Best Buy. Get your hands on both the Nikon and Canon and see which you like better. Start there and go...

go with the Canon XSI. don't even worry bout the Nikon. Hands down a better camera. And nothing can top Canon glass in their lenses.
