The short answer to your question is... the camera isn't as important as the photographer. Someone once told me "If you can shoot pool, you can use a broom stick and play well." Basically the same applies here. If you know how to set up a shot - composition, lighting, white balance etc - you can do well with almost any camera out there.
As for choosing a brand of camera, you can ask 5 different people and get 5 different answers. I'm a fan of Canon. I've always had Canons. That doesn't mean they're inherently "better" than the others, it's just what I'm used to using. All of my lenses are for Canon. Which by the way if you're interested in buying a DSLR, it's the lenses that make the difference and not necessarily the camera body. Nowadays they all have their pros and cons. Your best bet is to do some research on the different cameras in your price range. There are a lot of Digital Photo Review websites to get this info all over the web. My suggestion would be the Canon Digital Rebel. But then again I like Canon.
While getting a 35mm SLR is one way to "learn" about the different aspects of photography, it is a digital world and if you're not a die hard film person to start, getting a film camera just to learn is an added expense that I don't think is necessary. To me digital is better to learn with because you can instantly see how your shot came out and change things immediately without waiting for the developed pics to come in.
Good luck and remember the person behind the lens is always more important than the equipment.

I got a Nikkon Cool Pix 3 in 2006 and very happy. Under 100 and does a great job on photos and very easy package to download and transfer files to friends.
It really is a good piece of equipment.
Look at one if you go to a store. Got mine at Circuit City. Also on Sunday July 8 the newspapers are full of discount ads for cameras.

I recently purchased a Nikkon Coolpix L12 and the pictures are fantastic. I liked this camera so much, I bought one for my nephew...check it out at a local store before you make a purchase, regardless what mfg. you decide to go with. I have had 6 differant digital cameras and was not completely satisfied until now. Check it out, you won't be sorry.

When it involves being in the back of the digicam, I'm a digicam whore. However, being in entrance of it? Very shy... so much individuals consistently inquire from me for latest photographs and I so very hardly ever take them. heck. my internet cam has best been on in this new computer in view that I did not recognize the settings. Since then? Once.... Now on account that I have no longer shot anyones' % in a even as.....and I've acquired plenty of movie...and a few virtual cameras....

Well it depends what ur gonna use it for, but personally I LOVE Canon. All my cameras are Canon. Unless you want to sacrifice quality.
