First, I'm going to just say...get Nikon.
This was $750 on NewEgg

You're probably not looking in this price range, but I've had my Nikon D90 now for 2 years, and it is an amazing camera. It does video, as might the camera listed above. Didn't check that though...
D90 is out of stock at NewEgg, but is at Amazon for a little over $1000. I'd also think about dumping another 500-600 for a good telephoto lens at some point. Nikkor lenses rock! Camera lenses are like modding Camaros.
