I went through the same dilemma recently when looking for a DLSR for the missus. I was initially going to go for a Cannon EOS1000D with the twin IS lens kit but after talking to a few people I was shown the Pentax Kx which is currently being done with a Sigma 18-125 lens for about $800.

I got really good assistance from teh fellows at Plaza Cameras in teh city.
