[[ Consumer Report: one of a few advanced models with excellent image quality for low light and flash.

It has a swiveling LCD and excellent viewfinder, that can be very user friendly inside the chamber. ]]

Koji

We should avoid Olympus. Olympus is going to quit from Full DSLR categoly in future, focusing on compact DSLRs and high-end point-and-shoot cameras.
I like Canon's interface but don't Nikon's.
Recommendation: Canon EOS Rebel T3i $699@Amazon

T3i

Cons / Pros

Pros: Variangle LCD useful for unusual angles, in-chamber photos, OSEM checking, etc

Comparison

Comparison between D3100, D5100, Canon, Olympus XZ-1 (Koji's)

[LEFT] D3100 isn't so great even compared with KA's compact camera. D5100 and Canon T4i looks fine.
[RIGHT] T4i's resolution for the metalic parts looks great.

Comparison within Canon

T3i is as good as the other same-level or high-end products of Canon.

Manasa

I recommend to go for the next generation of true high resolution cameras; in which case nikon D3200 competes with the high end slrs but is a significantly cheaper option (699USD on amazon).
