You'll have alot of fun once you know how to work manually with shutter time, diafragma, iso, etc..... but be patient

Choosing the best model is personal. I would go for either Canon or Nikon, both have pros and cons and have a simular price range and wide lens variety.

Choose a body that feels good in your hand... is the weight good? Can you handle it easelly in your hand? Feel it, try it
Mind the battery time, the longer the better offcourse, nothing worse than missing that one magic moment because your bat is dead.
Every result is just as good as the quality of your lens.... a $10000 body with a $100 lens is a waste of money and quality.

Like mentioned above, if you have a big enough budget, don't go for the cheapest models, you'll be played out with them after a year, two max.
