Nikon d90 or canon550d.both are mid range expensive.

But like someone said up here,do some research before buyIng it.go online and chk out the specs.Salam sells both.or buy it from souq on installment.

Currently Im holding Canon 450d w/ standard 18-55mm

but I would suggest you to go for Nikon D90 w/ 18-105mm lens since Canon 550d inferior by D90

but then its up to your friend

baldrick is right. Salam is giving special prices on certain selected models so as a beginner you can get a good camera at a good price.

I saw the SMS from Salam for 50% off. Does that REALLY apply to cameras? last time I was told that the camera department was excluded from the sale.

Depending on your friend's capability, and subject matter a point and shoot might be adequate. If he/she is really interested in photography as a hobby though, they should really do their own in depth research first. Buying an expensive camera doesn't necessarily make you a great photographer!
