I'm planning on buying one. If you know where I could buy one online for a smaller price, that would be nice too!

Answer
The prices of digital cameras in the USA definitely are the cheapest ( EBAY.com -category-cameras/camcorders-digital cameras, Amazon.com and Popular Photography magazine)---In the Philippines-the extra EVAT and tax fees for imports/exports gives such tech gizmos extravagant retail prices. In Hong Kong- your Canon may be priced better than the Phil. but still fake brands may get you ripped off---So buy in USA for a bargain ---

but, you have to be very careful when buying used cameras. Cameras have actuations, they are the camera mileage, once they reach the maximum actuations, it will stop shooting.

My personal preference:

for a DSLR, I prefer Nikon because the parts are easily available in my area, especially the lenses from third party like Tamron and Sigma, which can save me more money than buying the original Sony or Pentax lenses. Pentax and Sony lenses are just difficult to acquire in my area.

I would recommend the Nikon D3100 or D5000. They have a very easy user friendly guide that was designed for beginners.

for PNS...
I like the Canon S95 and S90 a lot. I prefer them than any PNS out there because both cameras can fit in my jeans pocket, which means that I can have a camera every time. An alternative for them, if the price is too high would be the Lumix FH20 < http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEbeCPSkG⦠>, For extended zooms, that would be a toss-up between the Canon, Nikon, and Lumix.
