In my experience, Nikon and Canon are a bit like Impreza and Evo, in that objectively they're both very good, but people tend to plump for one and stick with it... even if they have a dalliance with the other at some point!
My family have always had Canon cameras, so that's what I went for (meant I could nab alternative lenses until I got my own!).
Mine is an entry level and it is capable of capturing good shots (even with me at the controls) so I'd say it's a good choice to cut your teeth with.
If you get into it further and outgrow the camera you can splash the cash. If you think modifying gets pricey quickly, photography isn't much better. You can spend thousands!
