When it comes to photography, I would have to classify myself as an enthusiastic but very much amateur photographer. The camera I used was the Panasonic Lumix G1. I found the camera perfect for first-time buyers in regards to an SLR. It was the smallest and most lightweight SLR on the market until recently I think (Lumix G2 has just been released, and looks fantastic) and it makes for a great middle ground between standard digital camera and full blown huge money machines.
I used it for almost all of my pictures and found it very versatile and adaptable to the situation. The standard Auto function seems to know what situation the camera is in at all times but if you have a play for just 10 minutes you will get to see some of the things it can do.
My personal favourite setting is colour mode, where you can adjust the brightness, colour saturation, red/blue preference etc. It helps create beautiful photos a the single click of a button. Also, the standard lens is brilliant and works perfectly with the 12.1 Megapixel camera. 16:9 is a great help too.
I would recommend and of the Lumix's through the entire range as they are not only affordable, but also high quality and versatile cameras. Also, if you do want an SLR, don't go lower than 12mpx, for less you may as well get a standard digital camera like my girlfriends, which is actually fantastic and a third of the price.
