Added (1). WOW what a bunch of pretentious *** answers.
Obviously if I'm asking what camera to buy I don't know much on the subject (@Jim A) and it's implied that I'm asking for your OPINION (@Johnny Martyr).

Please just use some grey matter and give a simple answer with maybe some info supporting your choice.

SLR? Those are film cameras you understand… Do you want film?

DSLR is a digital SLR, do you want digital? If so, Fuji no longer makes dslr cameras. My opinion,
Canon.

Fujifilm don't make DSLRs, otherwise it's down to how they feel in your hands.

On paper, the Pentax K-30 will blow its Canon and Nikon equivalents (D7000/ EOS 60D) out of the water at a significantly lower price, Sony excel in Video and Olympus are smaller and lighter (Olympus put far too much effort into their EVIL models, but the Evolt DSLRs are nice).

Just keep an open mind and don't automatically fixate on the Idiots' Two.

People who are not experienced photographers ask this sort of question all the time.

The truth of the matter is that anyone that tells you one brand is better than another is trying to sell you something and/or just pushing their personal opinion.

"Better" is a completely subjective and useless word when it come to something as complex as art and photography. Things can only be "better" than something else when put in terms of a particular purpose. Each of these brands have positives and negatives for various purposes.

Whether you buy Sony, Nikon or Canon they all work about the same. Just that Nikon and Canon have an extensive array of lenses. Entry level dslrs run between $480- and $600-.
Nikon D3100
Nikon D3200
Canon T3

In general, All dSLR cameras perform very well.

Fujifilm used to make a fine dSLR, but dropped out of the dSLR competition a few years back.

Nikon and Canon are the ones used by working pros for probably two reasons, They are the only makers of dSLR's that produce professional grade full frame camera bodies and have over 70 lenses to choose from.

Pentax has in the past few years, become serious about becoming an alternative to Nikon and Camera systems. Look for more form Pentax in the next few years.

Sony has been bouncing around from standard dSLR cameras with optical viewfinders (necessary for photographers shooting action or sports) to electronic viewfinders to reduce the size of the physical camera body.

Olympus has been know for decades for making small cameras which while they had the smallest bodies, still used 35 mm film and excellent optics. When they entered the arena of fully adjustable cameras, the chose to use a much smaller sensor, so the chance of them providing working pros with a full frame camera was ruled out.

In the end, you are going to have to spend some time on the websites of those camera makers to see which of them will provide you with the camera system that fits your specific needs. You will also need to visit a proper camera shop and hold each in your hands.

You can also visit the website of a lab that tests cameras sensors and lenses to see which cameras and lenses have the potential of producing the highest quality images if the user is up to the task.
