Jack
I want the coolest features on the dslr camera in the market. I know much about canon Camera's.i don't really know much about nikon Camera's or there. So pls tell me what camera out there has at least 16 to 24 mega pixels and lens from 70 to 200 or 300 mml.
No crappy fijifilm or and crappy names I never heard of.
Answer
Yes you may think you know about Canon cameras, but it is clear you do not.
To answer your question, the Nikon D3200 and Canon 1100D/T3 are the least expensive dSLR's right now.
However, you seem to be fixated on the number of pixels on their sensors. That is not necessarily the first criteria to consider. Sensor performance is most important.

More on pixels.

Now as far as a lens that is 70-200 mm it will cost you an additional $2,400 and a 70-300 mm, $590
Just the lenses alone will break your budget.
You need to spend some time on the Nikon and Canon websites looking at the cost of the inexpensive entry level cameras and the cost of various lenses.
If you don't know about the field of view of the various focal lengths, you can visit this site

Once you have done your independent research, you need to visit a proper camera shop and look a the cameras and lenses for yourself.

What would be a good DSLR camera for nature photography?
Skillet007
I have been using compact cameras for a couple years and I want to step it up a notch. What would be a good DSLR camera to look into for nature photography? I need something that snaps fast. Someone mentioned something along the canon rebel line but I don't know. Also, should I consider a camera with Full Frame capabilities or is that just a little overboard? Thanks!
Answer
You really want a crop sensor for wildlife. The crop brings the animal in closer, effectively increasing focal length.
I shoot Nikon, so my recommendations would be the D90 or D300s. It depends on budget, the D90 is around 750.00, and the D300s around 1500.00. They both have same sensor, the D300s has a higher frame rate and more metal in the body.
The lenses are the part where you need to spend the extra money. You need a 300mm lens at a minimum for wildlife, and an 11 or 12mm (cropped frame) at the wide end for scenic shots. Tokina lenses are really good glass, and a lot cheaper. Look for the 12-24 or the 11-16 for wide angle. For telephoto the 100-300 F4 is really good. They also make a really good 28-80mm 2.8 to look at.
The best approach would be to buy a D90, and have extra money for good glass.
Both of these shots were with the D300, the D90 has a slightly better sensor.
Here's a shot with the 100-300:
