I'm new to the world of photography and will be buying an SLR really soon. The problem is, I don't know which one...
My budget isn't too big so i have zeroed down on 3 entry-level cams; Canon Rebel XS(1000D), Nikon D60 and Sony Alpha200. I have read so many reviews about these camera's that i'm now confused (i knew i should have stuck to just a couple of websites)

As every aspiring photographer, i really want to have complete control of my photographs.
I've know that the Canon has Live View, however i don't want to make my purchase based on that feature, (dunno if i'll use it actually)

I want a camera that will give me real good clarity on all my pics, whether it is in sunlight or low-light, a camera that will have a good white balance and all the other basic stuff you would expect in a SLR. Point is i don't wanna regret later saying, 'damn, low light clarity sucks OR white balance sucks...

Please help me guys, let me enter the world of photography with a bang...
HI

It sounds as though you need a few lessons in what is involved in taking good photos, the camera only forms a part of it. If you don't know what do do in low light or bright sun even the best camera will be hopeless.

All 3 of those cameras are good.Canon - Nikon have a better range of brand made product (lens and accessories) as well as 3rd party product. You can also find good quality used goodies that should never be overlooked.

I was looking at Adorama and they had some Canon 40D for a very good price
This is an excellent deal, much better than the options you have listed
