@intVal, are you looking just to pick up a camera and just shoot whatever? or do you want ot focus on say, nature, wildlife, landscape, portrait, studio, low-light or street; or even all of them?
i had what was considered a high-end point and shoot for years. but it had manual capabilities that when combined with a tripod and some filters, really worked for my advantage. but if you are interested in more street, and portrait photography, i highly recommend getting a camera that can utilize shallow DOF.
I recently got my first dslr, a d700, and paired it with a 50 1.4, and just got a 24-120 f/4 yesterday that i plan to use on landscapes. but i have a feeling the 50 1.4 will stay on longer as it really renders a nice shallow depth of field.
the nifty-fifties that people have mentioned (50 1.8) is a really great starting lens for people and singular subjects.
