I was going to suggest that Nikon 3100 ericemel posted above.

If you don't mind a bit of work, and don't want video, then getting a Canon 40D second hand mint and adding a lens would be fantastic image quality and camera handling for least cash in my opinion.

Thoroughly recommend MPB, bought a Nikon D70 from them, and its been great. Met the owner of the site when I went to collect, and seemed a decent chap. You can get good lenses from there too, either start with a 50mm prime lense, great for portraits, general reportage type stuff, or 18-55mm zoom if you can afford it.
I rate Nikon, as very easy to use for beginners, but you cant go wrong with Canon either.
