Entry level Digi SLR - choices, choices...

Don't you hate to re-learn everything you knew before only to keep up with the "latest and greatest"....

Anyway, it's time to retire my 35mm and go digital, hell yeah.

Here's the question: which one? I don't make my living taking pictures, it's more of a serious hobby.

I've been a big Minolta fan for years, now it's all history (insert tear drop here ). I tried few times to convert myself to EOS but I just can't stand the "plasticky" feel to it, no offence to you all CANON users, they're great cameras.

I don't want to invest a lot for start, but whatever I go with must definitely have a nice expansion area (lenses and such).

I wonder if I could hear some opinions before I shell out $$. My startup budget would be around CAN$ 1500 or so - what would be the best bang for the buck? Best places to shop (prices/selection/support)?

Any input will be greatly appreciated, thanks for looking
