Would the Nikon Coolpix 8800 be a good camera too?

I've also done some shooting with the 8800. The 8 megapixel resolution is nice. But, you are stuck with the one fixed lens and not nearly the creative control of the Canon 300D or Nikon D70. My 2 cents would be to go the DSLR route. Even if you don't think you need the options now...when you experience the joy of good quality digital photography, you will be wishing you had the DSLR options available.
I should note, my advice comes from shooting a lot of material for mainstream advertising campaigns. So, I tend to push my cameras a lot more then someone who is using a consistent studio set-up for figure photography. I used a film based 35mm for 28 years, up until last year, when I felt the quality and control available from digital had finally caught up with film.
