Over the past few years i have been big into photography, that is until my house's plumbing decided to back up directly into my dark room sink. Since then i haven't really done much photography, and my dark room will probably be turned into a bathroom again someday soon.

I would like to get into digital photography now, but i don't know exactly what to get in the way of a DSLR. I don't want to spend a billion dollars on one, i mainly just want a good low/mid end DSLR. Something around 800-1200 or something around there, something that i can find on ebay and be able to pay the 24 month financing that paypal now offers.

I have always used a Canon before now, but right now i am looking at both Canon's and Nikons, because they both have DSLRs around my price range, or maybe a couple hundred over (which i guess is still kind of in my range). I was looking into a digital Rebel, but i wonder if the body is strong enough to last a while, since it is plastic and all. I haven't actually looked into Nikon's too much yet.

I am looking for something that is fast, because i take a lot of fast action shots. Also, something that will be able to take shots in low light areas, like concert venues, because i will be doing a lot of photo shoots at concerts and events like that.
