Since I'm Canon biased I say you should go for a Canon. The T1i is a great camera if you're starting out. If you really want to spend the money then the 50D or the 7D (just announced 2 weeks ago) is a great choice. You can find a 40D for about $600-700. You could also buy a Rebel XTi or XSi for about $500 or less.
The most important thing is go to a store and try out several cameras. The right one for you is the one that feels right in your hand and is easy to use (change settings, etc.). We recommend Nikon and Canon on here because that's what most of us have and they are the 2 main players in the game. However, there are other good cameras out there as well so be sure to check them out too.
