One of the best things to probably do is go to a store and mess around with the dslr's there. See how you like the controls, and most importantly, how the camera feels in your hands. Most entry level dslr's are quite good, so I wouldn't say one brand/model totally trumps the others. And since you're new to that market, you might not know enough on the small particulars, other than if you want video or not, or an articulate screen (that's how I was anyway). It can be a daunting process if you try to think too too hard about it. So so just play with some in-store models and have fun with it. Don't get too caught up in any super technical arguments you may come across either. Some people or other boards will argue about stuff that most people (especially beginners) won't even notice.
