Looking for a camera? - 1

So, I want to buy a camera. Not a $1, 000 camera but something with good focus and something that takes sharp/clear photos like a Nikon or a Canon. My budget is anything under that. A good SLR Camera suggestion could be helpful.

Here are the Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras for under $1000

Nikons D3000, D3100, D5100
Canon Rebel Xs, T3, T1i, T2i, T3i

Canon t2i and t3i
Nikon D3100 and Nikon D5100

The T3i features Canon's newest DIGIC 4 image processor and a native ISO range from 100 to 6400 (expandable to 12800). Exposure metering uses a dual layer 63 zone sensor and AF is accomplished via a 9-point system with a cross-type center point. The camera is compatible with Canon's EF and EF-S lens lines, accepts SD/SDHC/SDXC memory media and is offered as a body only or in kits paired with 18-55 or 18-135mm stabilized zoom lenses; our review unit was the latter kit. Canon includes an eyecup, camera strap, AV and USB cables, battery pack and charger and CD-ROM software with each camera.
