Hey guys, Im starting to save to get a DSLR, will most likely get it this summer.

My only experience with a DSLR is that I have been using my aunts Canon XSi for about 2 weeks so I feel pretty comfortable with it, Id say Im used to its grip and feel, lets put it that way. I have also handled the Nikon D40 and a Sony Alpha A300 at many stores and I think the XSi feels a lot better, also the interface seems easier on the XSi than on the Sony. The Sony has all the controls scattered around.

Now, Ive heard that Pentax are great too *cough* Bob *cough* so Im taking that into consideration too, but unfortunately I cant find them in any retailers so I can test them.

Im leaning towards the Canon XS, since its about $170 cheaper than the XSi and is not that far below. My other choice would be the Pentax K2000, which seems to be awesome for the price ($550 w/ external Flash included @ Newegg, assuming they still have that deal in the Summer) but my only concern is that I cant find Pentax cameras in any stores so I can test them.

Any ideas? Other recommendations?

Thanks
