If I am looking for a good digital...not cheap,(but not my whole 401K fund either)What type should I look at? I know with Cannon's you can interchange lenses from the digital to the 35mm, which I kinda like that. I like to shoot with film alot...and what is a digital SLR? I may be dumb, but I thought SLR was just for film cameras. Just wanted to get some advice from those who know....

SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex and as with a film SLR a dSLR allows you to look directly through the lens. dSLR's are typically the only ones you can get interchangeable lenses for, so they offer more flexibility, but also have a much higher learning curve. If you are just starting out, there are some really good point and shoot cameras - get one that is over 5MP.
I'll let other, more expert folks make specific recommendations. :)

a used 10D (600-700) or a new rebel XT(899) would be a great start! 20d (1300) if you're willing to spend a little more or a 300D (400-500) if you want to spend a little less.

No, this is only for the newer autofocus lenses. There are older mounts such as FD which you need a converter to use on an EOS body.
