Cheapest, smallest and lightest Nikon DSLR (now superseded by the D3100). The body is not as important as the lens--especially for starters-- so I would suggest purchasing this body and combining it with the 35mm f1.8 Nikkor lens. It's the most cost effective route that'll still achieve photos that will have people thinking that you spent much more than you actually did on your equipment.
