Nikon d3200
A beginners point of view.
This was the first dslr I ever bought.
* easy to operate: even if you are not sure of the aperture and shutter settings you can use the guide to take some really nice pics.
* low noise at high iso .but a tripod as usual is always useful.
* great quality of images.
* good battery life& lighter.
* less start up time.
Cons:
There are a lot of cons which obviously will be there when you compare with a higher priced camera but for the price, its definitely worth it.
