What is an inexpensive manual focus DSLR?

I am currently using a Fuji Finepix S3200. I've had it for about two years, and it has suited my needs perfectly. However, I have just sold several of my prints and been offered the opportunity to share studio space with a local photographer.
I do mostly nature shots, but I have several photos of animals, children playing, etc. I have also done three family photo shoots and (my strangest gig yet) a birthday party for a Pug puppy, with eleven other dogs in attendance.
At the moment I can't afford a whole lot, as my husband was recently injured at work and I am a stay-at-home wife trying to build my own business. I'm looking for something relatively inexpensive (and so a used camera is probably my best option). What I need is to be able to properly set the aperture, shutter speed, etc. My current camera is okay, but I can't fine-tune my settings, resulting in my entire photo being in focus when I am trying to focus on only one thing.
Links to cameras would be ideal.
