Nikon D60
(The Nikon D60 currently typically sells for less than $700)
Freshly launched on this side of the 2007/2008 barrier, the Nikon D60 is still wet behind the ears.
So far, the reviews are underwhelming, mostly because the D40x it is supposed to be replacing is still available - and many reviewers are pointing out that while you can buy a D40x for less cash dolla than the D60, spending your hard-earned on the latter makes very little sense indeed.

Ken Rockwell:
“The Nikon D60 is a “sucker” camera sold mostly to people who are not professional photographers, but who are impressed by meaningless megapixels. (…) The less expensive D40 is the same thing as the D60, but better”. (full review)
