What digital SLR camera would you recommend to a beginner based on the following information?I am looking for a camera that takes multiple shots per second (not blurry), high quality for portraits/ low light settings, and is not too complicated. Looking to take a step up in my photos from a regular digital. Also looking for an semi- inexpensive purchase! Probably will buy used, also. Thanks!

I bought my wife a Sony a300k for christmas, she absolutely loves it. For the price it has alot of high end features such as live view, tilt screen, and others. The biggest sell point is we can use minolta A mount lenses back to 1980's. Bought at Sears Outlet for $ 130. Deals there are highly YMMV but if you can find one they are so worth it.

I would suggest Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens

I think you should invest a DSLR camera. It is an investment but it can be well worth it. DSLR cameras have the larger sensor so you get a higher quality images. You can change lenses which can be valuable, by allowing to adjust to different needs.
There are a number of good brands so don't be sold on the idea one brand is better than another. I would keep your costs down. I would get a DSLR with a short zoom (like a 18-55mm) to start. No reason to spend more than $ 425 to $ 550. Either a 10MP or 12MP will do just fine.
Below, I listed some links, the first link listed below is to a web page that lists the 3 DSLR cameras I am recommending. This list will let you compare features and specs, also it has links to reviews of the cameras, the reviews include sample images from the cameras. Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some dealers have some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the "add to cart" button to see the actual price.
Here are some models that I think are well worth researching:
Nikon D3000 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $ 449
EOS Rebel XS (1000D) 10MP DSLR Digital Camera Kit w/18-55mm IS Lens - $ 499
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $ 550
Pick a price range, some features you know you want, and even consider which camera feels good in your hand as a factor. Plenty of great cameras, get one you like and start learning the principles of photography and you will be on your way to making some great images.
If you want to stay under $ 500 then go Nikon or Canon but, I think the Pentax could be of special interest, since it can do HD video and has excellent quality at higher ISO settings which can be useful in low light places and helping get the picture. These features, especially the HD video, on a Nikon or Canon will cost you $ 100 to $ 200 more.
If you have any questions and if you think I can be of help then please do contact me.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
