1. Depends on what you are looking for and price range you are looking at. Some would consider the Nikon D80 as affordable, while others would consider the D40 too pricey. If you are looking at DSLR, the Nikon D40 is a great way to get into photography. But you will run into limitation with the lens selection if you must have autofocus. I use the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens with my D40, and miss a split prism for focusing ease. If you need autofocus, then the D80 would be camera to target. Canon has their comparable models, but I am not that familiar with the Canons.
2. a canon entry-level DSLR might be the way to go if you're serious http://www.shopcartusa.com/P_Canon_EOS_Rebel_XSi_2756B001/?utm_source=Overture%20DC%20Prod&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=9607003&utm_campaign=72_Overture%20DC%20Prod if you're not that serious, look for a point n shoot. best place to look at camera reviews is dpreview.com
3. You say you are a beginner photographer, so you are going to want to start with an SLR camera. You say that you are on a budget. Digital SLRs are rather expensive, the cheapest being 430$ with a lens, and the most expensive being $39,000, but you aren't going to start with a camera of that price, obviously. If you do not have $430 ( at least ) to spend on a Digital SLR, you can always go with film, it's a little more of a hassle, but the images will be just as good. You can go on Ebay.com, and find many used SLRs for cheap prices. If you can afford a Digital, I would recommend the Canon Rebel XSI, or the D60, if they are too expensive for you, consider the D40.

5. If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lense] which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at: http://www.steves-digicams.com/2008_reviews/panasonic_fz28.html It just came out on November 4, 2008. It's an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel digital camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization; (ii) HD720 quality video [Quicktime] which permits zooming while videoing; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] "Leica" lense for nature photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a "burst speed" of 13 fps; and sells new for $320 at amazon.com. Here's an actual handheld picture of the moon: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/bf/1b/a83ac060ada0881604bad110.L.jpg If you can take a handheld picture of the moon with an 18X zoom, concert coverage should be a breeze. Good luck!
