Hasselbad for sure! All $30,000 for the body!
But now for the serious part. There are many very highly recommonded companies. Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax, and Olympus. I would go with the first two, Nikon and Canon, however because they have a huge selection of lens and acceseries for them. Both these companies have made excellent models of cameras taht have been extremely reliable and easy to use. I would not get a Sony just yet because they are testing the waters of the SLR bussiness. Pentax is only good for modeling sort of shots and Olympus has kind of gone down the drain in my opinion.
Heres a list of cameras you can look for:
Nikon D40, D50, D70, D80, D100, D200
Canon Rebel XTi, 30D, 5D

I posted a "question" a short time ago to get this information out there. You may find the answers to that question helpful.
"The February 2007 issue of Popular Photography has just come out and they compared the top 10 MP DSLR's. I am posting this question for general information and so I can refer to it in future answers.
"I took the scores and ranked the cameras similar to the way Formula 1 gives championship points. I just gave 5 for 1st place down to 1 for last place, splitting the difference when cameras tied in their catagories.
"They evaluated Image Quality (giving this twice as much weight as anything else), Ease of Use, Control, and System Flexibility.
"The final order and my scores are:
Nikon D80 - 17.5 points
- BEST in Image Quality, Control and System Flexibility
Canon Rebel XTi - 13.5 points
- Tied for best in System Flexibility
Pentax K10D - 11 points
- Tied for best in Ease of Use
Samsung GX10 - 11 points
- Tied for best in Ease of Use
Sony Alpha 100 - 7 points
- LAST in Image Quality, Ease of Use and System Flexibility."
Go to the original question and read the responses for more opinions.
