I’m using EOS 600D and it has been with me for almost a year now. I bought it along with the 18-55 mm kit lens. And I’m very happy with it. It won’t disappoint you for sure as your first DSLR camera.
I assume you’ll be using ‘manual mode’ for exposure from now on. And this one has got enough shortcut buttons to be fast, quite fast. The dedicated ISO and DISP buttons near the shutter are of great help too. That said, a professional will find those not enough. You’ll have a very decent battery life with the bundled battery. If you are not gonna shoot a lot of video and not use ‘live view’ (as in a point and shoot looking at the lcd to frame the picture) but use the optical view finder, you can forget about charging your battery. It’ll last quite long. Even more, if you are ready to take risks, you can install custom firmwares like magic lantern to make full use of Canon entry level DSLRs!
If there will be a bit more money to spend and you like photography too much, you may invest in a prime lens. People say, that is how you should start learning, with a prime lens but not a zoom lens. The cheapest Canon prime is around 6K.
You may also check the SLT cameras that have been introduced recently. The Sony ‘Alpha’ models which cost roughly the same as the DSLRs, seem to be favourited by many photographers. In SLT, you won’t have a mirror or prism moving when you press the shutter button as in the DSLRs. That trade-mark click sound will be absentYou’ll also miss an optical view finder in SLT, but a small digital display at the eye piece.
