Any recommendations here? Or maybe make a case why I should step up from the "entry level" models.
I'm not looking to spend the big bucks, but want something that will last and I won't want to be upgrading from in a couple of years if I start to get a little more serious about photography.
Hopefully I can get as good as my dad. Here's a small sample of his stuff:

I'm not sure what your budget is, but if you're considering the D3000, you should take the time to check out the new D3100. Nikon did a great job in upgrading their entry-level model, and in the long-run, I'd think you would be happier with the choice.
You can get into the D3100 with the kit lens for around $640, and if you plan on using the kit lens for a while, the glass that comes with a Nikon is better than what you'd get with the Canon.
