I think EPU is giving you good advise. Start cheap with all of the basic functions. See how you use it. Are you passionate? Is it a weekend hobby? Do you not use it as much as you thought after a while?
I do digital 35mm, but I think the principle of buying equipment is the same. I started cheap 15 years ago. I waited until I felt the camera didn't satisfy me and then upgraded. Probably did that 5 times and each camera was better than the last. I'm currently at the Pentax level.
Last thing: don't buy until you know the terminology.

The thing I like about Canons is the Canon Hacker’s Development Kit (CHDK).

You can boot into the CHDK firmware and have access to all kinds of advanced features like time-lapse photography and High Dynamic Resolution (HDR).
It doesn’t change the stock firmware. You boot into CHDK from the SDHC card. I’ve had a lot of fun with it.
