Check out Cameta Camera. They beat Amazon's prices. Have you thought of buying a refurbished camera with a warranty? I am too much of an amateur to suggest any particular model.
I got my Nikon D3000 on sale for less than $500 at TARGET!! The same camera was about $700 at Best Buy on the same day....I got it for $479.00 with the kit lens 18-55mm. Check for sales!! You CAN get a new camera with a little research and patience :)
Nikon is going to win here because they have newer models at cheaper price points than Canon. Unless you get a 2-3 year old Canon DSLR or an older/used/refurbished 40D, XSi, etc.
I think that's smart since once people buy a cheaper Nikon body, they'll probably stick to Nikon glass forever - not too many people ever sell everything and switch to Canon, unless they have have patience to sell everything and have money to buy a new system.
So be sure you want to buy a Nikon, because it'll be a hassle later on if you decide you wanted a Canon in the first place.

Canon doesn't have as many cheaper SLRs as Nikon but the little bit of extra money is SO worth the quality...
