Default Thinking about buying a camera please help

I am thinking about buying a nice camera for my wife. However I know nothing about the nice cameras. She has had several nice digital cameras but now wants to step up to a good camera. I would like to stay under 800 for the camera. Any sugestions on whats a good value or which to stay away from or which features are a must have that others dont come with. Any help would be helpful thanks.

I have a cannon T1i and love it. Great camera, good kit lens, HD video. I actually have a friend on the motorcycle forum I am on selling one with a bag and SD card for a great price.

My user name is the same on that forum as it is here. If interested shoot him a PM and say Andy told you about it and he will hook you up.

If interested in picture quality I started a thread with some of the pictures I have taken with mine which you can see here.
