All the mainstream makes seem to be good, so it all comes down to personal preference in the end. The advice generally given is to try out several, it might be possible to get some models loaned from friends/retailers through which you can shoot a roll of film. With the price these things cost it's not a decision to rush into! I chose a Canon EOS 300 (or 'Rebel' if you're outside the UK) mainly because it's simple to use and a good range accessories are easy to come across. Not too sure about the silvery casing or the fact that so much of it is plastic, but otherwise it's excelled my expectations.
