my advice:
get a used D40 (not the D40x) - for about $300. get a new 35mm f/1.8G ($200). save your money up for when you know where you're going.
why the D40? it has smaller pixel density so the 6MP work to your advantage - better noise in high ISO usage than any of the 10MP+ crop sensor cameras.
it has all the full manual controls you need (and all the auto modes that you don't need). it's a VERY capable camera, and it's cheap if you're just jumping into it. i know an amazing photographer who uses the D40, and you'd NEVER know it.
skip any kit lenses - they're crap.
