I have a Nikon D60 for sale actually, $350 for the body. Send me a message if interested, it is a great camera for the price, and is a great starter.

I recommend a Nikon D40, but I agree with Fishmeister.

The fact is that any camera will be good for you to learn on. All of todays DSLR’s are capable of incredible shots, ALL of them!. There is no ‘best’ camera. Choosing a camera for yourself is a very personal decision and can not be done by asking people on an internet site. All you will get is people shouting out the particular camera or brand that they own. All you are getting then is biased advice and that could lead to you choosing the wrong camera.

When buying a DSLR, you have to understand that the most important thing is how the camera feels like for you to hold. Not the features, not all the bells and whistles.. How it feels to hold!. When I bought my first DSLR I was unsure as to what brand to choose. I went into the store with a budget in mind, handled all of the bodies in that price range, checked the button layout, the menu options, how comfortable it felt, whether it was too large or too small etc.. I chose Canon simply because I preferred the button layout, it was as simple as that!.You may prefer Nikons bodies, or Pentax, or Olympus etc.. The only way you are going to know this is to go into a store an handle them all, not listen to people shouting out cameras here.

If film cameras are also your interest (I have a large interest in film cameras) I will be happy to give you some recommendations on the second hand market.

And when buying your camera, please remember that megapixels are not important. More megapixels do NOT equal a better image..

Nikon D90 is a good choice.

or another good one that have features close to D90 with cheaper price Nikon D5000 12.3 MP DX Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens and 2.7-inch Vari-angle LCD
Outstanding (absolutely stunning) image quality, especially in low light and difficult lighting (high dynamic range) situations
