Disclaimer
I have looked at the suitability of the products and what I recommend is based on my experiences as photographer. The options expressed and recommendations made are what I would use myself for a particular situation. I have made a conscious decision not to review on price - it is pointless saying that something is "good value for money" if it not going to do the job well.
Just as are all people are difference, all photographers do vary and what suits one photographer may well not suit another. I also find that my opinion as to what is a manageable size and weight of camera to carry and use may not hold true for other photographers. I believe that the majority of photographers should be more than capable of handling any camera in the range providing they learn to hold and handle it correctly.

Canon
EOS Rebel T2i 18MP DSLR Camera -
Canon just surprised the photography world with their latest announcement, showing off its EOS Rebel T2i that will take its place at
the top the company's Rebel line of lower-cost digital SLR cameras.
This 18-megapixel powerhouse is the beneficiary of a lot of trickle-down from Canon's twice-as-expensive EOS 7D camera. That means you'll be able to get a $799 camera (body only) with such advanced features as 9-point autofocus, a 63-zone dual-layering metering system just like the 7D, a 3-inch live-view smudge-resistant viewfinder, ISO of 100- 6400, and 1080p video shooting at 24, 25, or 30 frames per second with an external mic input.
Whoa, Nikon, you have a lot of catching up to do now. Canon's not saying yet
when this relatively cheap camera ($899 with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
image-stabilized kit lens) will be available, but soon thereafter, the company's
going to need to raise the bar on its higher-end cameras just to keep up.

the impressive specs for the EOS Rebel T2i

You're better off having what you can afford and shooting than not shooting and spending your life dreaming. The key to being a successful photographer is
being there with a camera, whether on vacation or close to home.
No matter where I am, when I try to always have a camera with me,
a camera turns whatever I’m doing or wherever I’m going into an photographic adventure. While vacations are the most obvious time to have a camera along, finding visually exciting everyday moments
is even more rewarding. If the camera fits in your pocket, you'll always
have it with you.
