I can second the recommendation for a Bogen 3021. Nice tripod. However, I got the 3030 3-way head with mine and now I'm looking to replace it with a ball head, because I think a ball head is much easier/quicker to use. Just something to consider.

Also, I have a small (digital p&s size) SLIK tripod which I've been very impressed with. SLIK is generally cheaper than Bogen or other high-end tripods, but from what I've seen of this little one, I would bet the bigger ones are nice too.
