There's also some point in getting a camera that you can grow into a little.
At the bottom of this page you'll find a feature to feature comparison of the T1i and T2i: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/CanonEOS550D/

I could build a 3 lens + teleconverter kit, with a D300, that would likely do everything that I need. It wouldn't be cheap though.

actually... before I start sinking shit loads of $... I wanna upgrade to the D700 and the full frame... I'd use my 50mm prime a shit load more on it than I do on my D300 due to the crop factor... but as it's $1000 more than I paid for my D300 I'll wait till I get a bit more comfortable with the D300... |

 I vote Nikon as well. And THIS paragraph is the most truth in this thread than anything else. The wide range of functionality doesn't mean shit if you don't know what the hell to do with it. I started with a D80, simple enough to get started.

Maybe if Aquapython could give us his budget constraints, we could give him a list of some good body/lens combinations and he could check to see which best fits his needs?
As far as Canon vs. Nikon, they tend to go back and forth over which has superior focus speed and low light performance. Right now Nikon is slightly ahead in the high end cameras, but I would say that either would be a good choice without too deep an evaluation of user preferences.

I love my Olympus Evolt 410, great starter camera and it comes with two good lenses. The 420 is better and getting better reviews, but its been a while for me. Well under a grand for the camera with lenses a battery and a bag.
