I have a Canon Rebel xs but I am looking to upgrade. I am looking at the T3i and the Nikon D3000 but I am open to other options (under ,300) What is the best entry-mid level DSLR?

Canon EOS 1000D/Rebel XS
Canon EOS 1100 D/Rebel T3
Nikon D3100

I’m making the switch from point and shoot to DSLR. I’m not a professional photographer but I want to take quality photos, preferably with video capablitiy but I know the Canon Rebel XS does not have it.
Even so, I’d like to know which of the 3 would be the best all-around camera. I’m not familiar with the photography terms but by "best all-around" I mean that the camera can capture
- decent/good motion/action shots
– detailed landscape shots
– clear night/city shots
– portrait shots

If you have other camera suggestions that are similar to those that I listed, then feel free to list them. But the budget is around 0.

Thanks!

I’m 14 and as a late birthday present, my parents decided to get me a DSLR because of my interest in photography. I really didn’t want them to spend too much and I’ve had my eyes stuck on 2 cameras.
The Canon Rebel XS:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CBKJGG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=AHVUXX1NUM5OB Which I will be able to get for 0.

The Fujifilm FinePix S4000: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HO58O8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A29PHU0KPCGV8S Which I can get for 0.

I know most recommend the XS, but what is different about the S4000 other than a non-removable super-zoom lens?

I am going into a entry level college photography class and I need to get a camera. I am a college student so budget is a main issue. Also, thoughts on getting a refurbished camera would be very appreciated. These are the cameras that I have been looking at:

Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)

Nikon D3000 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens and EOS HD Movie Mode

Any information will be helpful, Thanks!
