I'm interested in buying an entry-level dSLR camera?

So I'm extremely interested in photography and have been for a about a year or so. And I've wanted a digital SLR camera for a really long time. My Nikon compact camera just isn't cutting it anymore. I've been looking into cameras and researching different kinds for about 3 hours now. I was looking into maybe the Canon Rebel T2i ($649.99 w/18-55mm IS lens) or Nikon D3100 ($629.99 w/AF-S DX 18-55 VR)? I don't need a really fancy or expensive camera, just something that will take good quality pictures that I could possibly explore photography with. I'm interesting in taking mainly macro, but also landscape and low-light photos. Ideally, I'd want the Canon T3i, but it's a bit more expensive, and I'd have to ask my parents to pay off the last $200 or so dollars ($799.99 w/18-55mm IS lens). Like I said, I did some research about it, but I feel like I still couldn't make an extremely informed decision. But, your advice and/or opinion on digital SLR cameras would be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you so much!

Any of the entry level DSLRs would keep you happy for a few years. I'd pick either Canon or Nikon. I have a LOT of contact with other photographers and time and time again it seems that either one of those are most likely to make their owners happy.

The most important part is to buy only the best lenses - camera bodies get upgraded, lenses stay with us.
You WILL regret buying cheap lenses.
Don't rush into buying lenses. Start with a kit lens, get to know your camera, that lens, and all photographic principles.
Through time and through use, you will eventually KNOW what other lenses you'll need/want.
The more time you'll take, the less likely you are to regret your choices.

If you know anyone close to you with a camera, consider borrowing lenses and "picking their brain" about their camera and whatever else they know.

Go to a store and hold a few cameras, see how they feel to YOU.

Keep in mind that buying a DSLR isn't cheap, even if you find a good deal for body and kit lens.

You'll also want and/or need a few other things such as tripod, filters, a bag, sensor cleaning gear, a second battery, memory cards, perhaps a remote shutter release etc.

That's just the small stuff - I can guarantee you that you'll also want more and more lenses.
You'll also want a decent flash some day.

See how that list just goes on and on?
Owning a DSLR isn't cheap - at least not until you have built up a nice stash of gear.

Just some food for thought…

Do lots of research before you buy, and start learning about photography, too.
The very best thing you can do for your photography is to attend a class and read a few books and tutorials. Having some knowledge will make a huge difference to your images.
I hope I have expressed this idea clearly enough: YOU need to learn about photography because even the world's best camera will take lousy shots in the hands of someone who has no clue how to use it.

For me the Nikon D3100 is the clear winner of the two. I can compare the features of the two in detail for you.

Advantages of the Nikon D3100 over T2i:

1. Lower noise at high ISO 919 ISO vs 784 ISO
2. Video autofocus Contrast detection vs None
3. Better color depth 22, 5 bits vs 22, 1 bits
4. Larger sensor APS-C 23.1x15.4mm vs APS-C 22.3x14.9mm
5. Slightly better image quality 67.0 vs 66.0
6. Longer battery life 550 shots vs 440 shots
7. More focus points 11 vs 9
8. Slightly more lenses available 169 lenses vs 162 lenses
9. Slightly lighter 505 g vs 530 g

The only two things that the T3i has and the D3100 doesn't are:

1. Much higher resolution screen 1, 040k dots vs 230k dots
2. Has a built-in focus motor Yes vs No

Still i say that the D3100 is the better choice.
