camera. I want something which will also work with my computer. What would be a reasonable camera that can bridge both worlds for a beginner?

I agree that Canon and Nikon are the ones I would consider. Mainly because the lenses are so available.
I started with a Canon Digital Rebel EOS. Their new 400XTi is a great buy and a fine camera. You actually can find the 350XT still out there and it is an even better buy. It is 8 Megapixels and has a very low light capability. Expect to pay only about $500 for the back of that one.
I now have a Canon 30D. All the lenses I bought to go with my first camera fit my new one.
Feel free to contact me if you have more questions about it. My galleries are listed below. I had almost no experience or instruction when I started. Digital is great!
I now have four shows under my belt and am selling some of my work.

I have an Olympus EVolt 500 digital. It is not professional quality, but it is a really good digital SLR, and a good camera for a serious amateur to learn on. I chose it because it came with two lenses instead of just one, like most cameras do. I love it, and I will continue to use it until I can afford a professional DSLR. I like digital the best because it doesn't cost anything to practice taking pictures. You can take as many pictures as you want, and as long as you have enough space on your memory card, there is no stopping you. When the card gets full, you just upload the pictures into your computer, and then delete them off the card,, and keep going. When a picture is out of focus or badly composed, or whatever...you can see it right away, and you can just delete it, instead of having to wait until film is developed, before you can see what you have, and wasting all that money for buying and developing film!!!

I also recommend a Cannon or a Nikon. I started at 15 with a Cannon Rebel G SLR. By using film to start with it allowed me to make every shot count and to think things through be for i took a shot. I now have a Nikon D 50 its a great camera and i have gotten great results from bath cameras.

First read up on cameras and the types there are and knowing the difference between each. The more you know, the easier it is for you to decide which you'd like to start with.
But if anything Canon and Nikon are best in my opinion.
