What kind of canon camera would you suggest to a beginner?

I currently have a Canon Powershot SD 1200 IS digital camera, but it's getting old and I don't want to keep overusing it. I want a new camera and since I have experience and love Canon's quality, I was looking at buying a new camera from them. What type of Canon SLR camera would you suggest to a beginner? Thanks!

Also, I'm just photographing for fun, not for anything professionally.

canon camera?

Any recommendation's on a good charger and batteries for a Canon powershot A710 IS digital camera. The ones that came with this camera is not very good. If you have a camera similar to this I would appreciate your input. Thanks
