John 3:16 at Funan IT Mall are a great source of advice and very reliable. SLR Revolution at the same mall are also dependable in my experience and have very keen pricing. This is an extract from my posting in the following thread, which you may also find useful:

Canon is a pretty good model to start with. Not too complicated to use and pretty quick to pick up. Having a SLR doesn't mean you have to be a professional photographer. Just means you want to take better pictures and want to be a little more serious in it. In Singapore, I'm gonna have to say Sim Lim or Funan. The rest of the other places like courts, best denki are more expensive and their salesperson can't really throw in any freebies 

Well I guess it depends to a certain extent on whether you want to have a long-term relationship with the store (but not in the biblical sense
ha ha!
). Sometimes I don't mind paying a little extra if I've been given lots of unbiased advice to help me find the right item. John 3:16 definitely fall into that category, although I've tended to split my purchases between them and SLR Revolution, depending on what kind of camera I wanted and how price-sensitive the purchase has been.

i bought my first slr from John 3:16 at Funan. They are one of the better stores that really pay attention to your needs and always willing to give advise. As for price, they are competitively priced too. Like what others say that SLR revo might be cheaper. But the difference would be a $10-$15 mark. Which i feel the service makes up for it.
If price is your major concern, then get a 2nd hand one. There's a lot going around in clubsnap.
As for brand. I always loved my canon.
