What are the Nikon equivalents of Canon entry-level DSLR's?

[Leftyplayer]

I tried googling this and, while it's out there, no one gets to the point - so thought maybe someone could offer a simple chart to show me the parallel entry-level models. After seeing the quality of my pictures taken with my Canon DSLR, my cousin wants to get a DSLR. He's starting research from scratch and also has a low budget (so we're talking the under $1K models). I was able to list for him what to look up as far as Canon go: XS, XSi, T1i, T2i and I think there's a T3 now? But I don't know what the Nikon (or Pentax) equivalents of those are. Could someone offer a rough list of equivalent models for Nikon?

I can do better than a rough list: www.nikonusa.com

if you look the camera up on Digital Cameras: Digital Photography Review, News, Reviews, Forums, FAQ, most of their full reviews have a table that compares competitive cameras. For example the Canon T2i:

Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i Review: 21. Compared to: Digital Photography Review
