Go for a manual SLR, like the aforementioned Canon AE-1 or Pentax K-1000. WIth these, you can learn the basic principles of photography, and the affects of different aperatures and shutter speeds. If you want a camera with more automation, you could consider a Nikon N65 or a Canon Rebel.

Canon's rebel series if you don't want to learn about exposure very well, and just want point and shoot ease with good quality photos.

Yeah, you could use lenses you bought for the film rebel for the digital, but becasue the sensor in the digital rebel is smaller than a 35mm frame, the focal length of the lens would be multiplied by 1.6 .Thus, a 70-200mm zoom would become a 112-320 mm lens.

The best choices, with the most extensive lenses and camera choices would be Canon or Nikon. Nikon's D70 is their entry level digital SLR, while Canon's is the Digital Rebel. The Rebel is cheaper, but also has lower build quality than the Nikon and a slightly slower burst mode. The image quality between the cameras is pretty similar. To compare and feel their build quality and ergonomics, try them out at a camera store. Decide which one fits your price point and make the choice.

If you do get a Digital Rebel, wait a bit until the new Digital Rebel XT comes out so the price on the original will go down even more than it has.
