There are lots of DSLRs from lots of brands to choose from ranging from entry (1.6x sensor crop) level to top of the line (full size sensor) -- depending on your needs and the type of photography you are in to or planning to.
Just remember that once you have solved the "which DSLR to buy" problem, you'll be hooked on the "which lens to buy" predicament.

Yeah buddy I know that, but it is provide all feature like DSLR.
From buy.com here are some lines:
“When is an SLR not an SLR? When it's a Canon S5. The S5 certainly looks like one with its large lens, chunky handgrip, hotshoe for external flash and enough switches and dials to start a science experiment. This SLR-lookalike is a capable compact with a superb lens, and turns out quality images”

yes but it doesn't have through the lense optical view finding (superior to lcd view finder in the opinion of many), the key hallmark of an SLR camera. NOr does it have the ability to change lenses, the OTHER main hallmark of an SLR.
There are many prosumer cameras with very good quality but this is not what makes an SLR.

I agree, personally I have the Olympus E420 which is astounding value for money given the superb quality. However the poster did ask about DSLR's that can run on AA batteries, suc as the K200D (which I think is one of the few if not only DSLR that takes AA)

@max_wedge: If it does have through the lense optical view finding then it’ll be a SLR. And I never said S5-IS is a DSLR. It is just take decent picture on their price tag and with AA that’s all.

Please don't try to make me look like an idiot, I know that, I've been using SLR's for over 20 years. If it's NOT an SLR then it's NOT what the original poster asked about. Please go back and read the original post.
If someone asks about an SLR then I assume they expect the features of an SLR, regardless of quality. I know there are many excellent non-slr cameras out there, but they DO NOT have the advantages of an SLR.
You said the canon S5is has the features of a SLR - wrong - the S5is DOES NOT have ttl optical viewfinding nor does it have interchangeable lenses.

Aside from the absence of the pentaprism or mirrors for through-the-lens viewing and the interchangeable lenses, most of these sub-compacts with superzooms don't have large enough image sensors to provide good quality images even at high iso (under low lighting). They usually end up giving you a lot of noise at ISO 400 and up. Real SLRs/DSLRs can produce superior quality images even at high ISO (ISO 800 and up) even without flash.
Let me also add that Fujifilm DSLRs have several models using AA batteries such as the Fujifilm FinePix IS-1, Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro and other older S Pro models.
Surprisingly the newer Pentax KM (K2000) also uses 4AA batteries. Cool!
Other DSLR models like Canon have grips that can hold an optional backup power using AA batteries -- that could be another option...
