I started off with a 2nd hand canon 300d - paid £200 for it with the kit lens (18-55mm) and a 55-200mm lens with it... I've used that for 9 months, and got to the stage where it's limitations are too much, so recently upgraded... to a canon 5d Mk ii (thought i'd go the whole 9 yards (10 yards would be the 1Ds))
additional to that - i've recently bought my 60 year old dad a canon 300d, with the kit lens and given him my 55-200mm lens to go with it... he has used a SLR before, and it took him a few days to get used to how the canon works...
