The features you need on an SLR are:
1: Nice big viewfinder. This is where you compose the photo after all, you'll be looking in there all the time.
2: Back in the day a decent shutter was necessary, though these days it's all electronic. Good ISO range and performance throughout the range is important.
3: Provision for a decent lens that fits your budget. Shouldn't be an issue with major manufacturers.
Anything else is purely ancillary and depends a lot more on preference e.g. someone who travels a lot may want a smaller/lighter camera. But the basics are up there.
