Important thing about DSLR cameras, it cost a lot to switch over to another brand, so buy a brand you can stick with. I use Nikon and am Happy with their products, I also like Canon and Sony. All are great brands to use, they all have their pluses and minuses. Canons have super fast auto focus, Nikons have excellent low light capabilities, Sonys are packed with high specs and features for a low price.
Also a tip, first lens you should buy is a 50mm F1.8 or F1.8 all brands have this one, great for photo class and learning with your camera. Also great in low light.
