The best camera on the market right now is the Nikon D700 and the models above that. You will barely need to use a tripod again the low light performance is outstanding.
You can do great camera comparisons here...

Yep.
Also check www.kenrockwell.com for everything Nikon. I have a D50 and I love it. If you care, add a 50mm 1.8f lens, but the kit lenses at 18-55 are great.
