I shoot semi-professionally and more often than not, I just buy used.
I actually started out with a D70 from Craigslist. I've also bought a D7000, a 50mm f1.8 and a whole bunch of accessories from CL.
To be honest, even entry level dslrs are overkill for most shooters from what I have seen.
Canon, Nikon. They're both good. It just depends on what they prefer in terms of layout and how it feels in their hands. Do they like turning the wheel or do they prefer Nikon's buttons?
And yes to Canon's lenses being more affordable...But then again, if you want all the prime lenses, it's all going to add up anyway.
They should also consider mirrorless cameras. They're pretty amazing too.
