Start with an okay body with kit lenses and go from there if you get into it properly. I went for a Canon 450d with 2 kit lenses with a cash back thing at the time. If you look out for those cash backs on a 1100d kit you wont go wrong.

Either Canon or Nikon are a good shout....might be worth giving the Sony stuff a look in too...

You could go second hand, there are plenty newish models available that wont have had much use, as the camera makers bring new models out most years you should be able to gauge how old a S/H camera can be.

http://www.dpreview.com and http://www.cameralabs.com/ provide decent reviews and details on all the cameras you will be interested in.
