spend as little on the camera as possible. You can get nice pictures with something for 400-500.00 and learn everything you need to know to have a great foundation in photography. Exposure, composition, processing
Spend extra money on lens(S)
If you get interested in photography, then in a few years you drop bigger money for a better camera but your lenses are still good.
Lenses rarely depreciate, camera bodies drop like a hot potato every two years.
Good lenses cost more than good cameras.
Nikon or Canon - your choice. It's like honda or toyota, total personal preference. If I needed a first camera to learn with, I'd buy a d40, but I"m a nikon man.
Before you buy any brand, find somewhere to touch it, hold it. See how it fits in your hand. Which is more comfortable for you. THe differences in brands really are not that great. Canon has an edge in telephoto lens with their sweet 200, nikon has the wide angle market covered. But even these differences wont be noticeable unless you are a professional who makes money from shooting. At the consumer end, pretty much all things are equal
