The other day, my trusty Canon point-and-shoot camera decided to hit the crapper. For no apparent reason, other than to frustrate its owner. Some lens error, lens won't open, makes an awful sound trying to. We don't have a camera repair shop in town (at least that I'm aware of), and I took it to Best Buy and asked a few other people their thoughts on fixing it. Sounds like it might not be worth it versus the cost of the camera.
And with a growing little girl who is ever changing, ever moving and ever full of photo opps, I need to get a new camera, stat. Only hold up is that I'm thinking of taking the plunge to get a digital SLR. We've talked about doing this down the road at some point, and now I think this might be the right time rather than getting another point-and-shoot. Looking forward to better photo quality and faster shooting capabilities, and hoping to get better pictures of Ashlynn, our fam and farming (nerdy, but I love taking pictures on the farm, especially during harvest).
I'm leaning towards one of the Canon Rebel models, something entry level. Any feedback? Anyone have a favorite brand/model?

I'm a Nikon gal myself...but I'm a bad resource because I still don't use my SLR to it's full capabilities. Also, when I was taking my photography class both teachers used Cannon's. I'm thinking they're equally good brands.
I have been a "lurker" for a while now, but hello!
I have a Canon Rebel T1i and love it. I know there is a Canon Rebel T3, that I believe is the newer model, so not sure the difference than the one I have. My camera takes amazing pictures and I really don't know how to use it, so imagine the quality when you figure it out.
