Personally, I would start with a digital camera. Why limit yourself to 36 images per film when you can trial and error with 100's.
Canon vs Nikon....
Canon have been ahead regarding digital until Nikon released the D3. Since then, Canon have been quiet.
To be honest, I don't give a shit. If you cant take a decent picture with a Canon or a Nikon then give up. People can get so caught up in megapixels (really, it's not that important), iso's etc etc. Who cares? Whack a decent 50mm lens onto a full-frame DSLR and your sorted (IMHO)

yea but if you're just starting out and it's a hobby there's not much point buying an all singing all dancing d3 of 1dsmk3 is there? unless you are rich.
in saying that, the 5d is obviously pretty good and nikon just announced a fullframe camera in between the d300 and d3 which looks astoundingly good called the d700. bit pricey on pre-order but should hopefully come down once it's released in a couple of months. i'm saving up for one now cause you are right about full frame being the way to go but only if you're selling pictures i think. you don't need it if all your snaps just go on the internet or are printed 7x5.
canon will most likely release a replacement for the 5d either later this year or spring next year which should shake things up a bit. they're also releasing another budget model called the 1000d which should be their entry level one and has slightly lower specs than the 450d.
