Ditto on the local shop recommendation. If there are any schools nearby then you should wait until the end of the semester. All of the photo 101 students who aren't art majors will have resold their entry level cameras and you'll be able to pick one up for cheap.
Whatever camera you choose, get one with a built in light meter. I started with a canon rebel t2.
