Dave Jones at EEV.blog http://www.eevblog.com/episodes/ has done a series of video reviews, including tear downs, of many of the new crop of inexpensive digital oscilloscopes. The index is chronological, not by subject category, but if you scroll through it, you'll find several highly informative videos on digital oscilloscopes.
Actually, most all of his videos are worth viewing. There's also a useful EEV forum (links at the EEV blog page) with lots of discussion relevant to low end digital oscilloscopes. Some time spent there will be well invested. I have four oscilloscopes here, two analog (Tek 465 and Tek 2246, both 100 MHz), and two digital (Tek TDS430A, 500 MHz and a new Agilent MSO7304B 350 MHz, 4 channels) and both analog and digital 'scopes have their places. A decent Tek 100 MHz dual channel oscilloscope, such as the 465, can be purchased at quite reasonable prices and for a beginner may be a better starting point than a digital oscilloscope.
