Looking for a SLR camera - any suggestions?

I have the Nikon D40X and it is a pleasure to shoot with. Interface is very easy, and you can take pictures like this one.

This is from my tank at home Taken with the D40x no flash.

Happy hunting

Shot with the Alpha 300 and 250 zoom.

I worked for a while doing sports photography for a university, which is some of the most rapidly changing movement intensive type to do (so I'm told).

We used a Canon Rebel Xt (DSLR) for everything, which took amazing pictures and was a real gem to work with. The only downside was the weight with a 300mm wide angle zoom lens cause it to be rather bulky, but the camera itself with stock lens was a treat to use.

I think now the Xt has been replaced by the XSi.
