beginner in the world photography

Thanks in advance.. :)

First thing you need to realize is that you're not buying a camera as much as you're buying a system that consists of camera body, lens, flash, etc. So going with an entry level body and spending your money on the glass is okay because when you upgrade to a better body, you can use your lenses with it. And don't discount third party lenses like the Sigma. They're making lenses right now that are competing pretty heavily against name brand lenses.

The top two systems are Canon and Nikon. Hands down. Nikon has the added bonus of it's legacy lens support where older manual lenses from the past 50 years are usable.

A good entry level camera is the Canon XSi and the T1. The T1 has the added benefit of shooting HD video in 720p.
