    Olympus e-pl1!

    Image quality beats most entry level DSLR (including the d5000). It's quite cheap. Very good at high iso for entry level.

    And more importantly it's far smaller than a DSLR so as a newbiw phorographer you'll Be happier carrying it with you most days as opposed to a heavy DSLR rig.

    The only downside is it doesn't have auto focus speed quite as fast as most entry level DSLR, but a firmware update improves this and other lenses are faster.

    Also you can use all sorts of old manual focus lenses which will give you room for experimentation at a cheap price. The old 80s lenses which are still good range from $15 upwards.

    Note I do not have an e-pl1, it's just a great cam.
