It all depends on how much you want to get into it. As I'm sure you know, the sky is the limit.
Think about your goals. If you want to become a serious hobbyist photographer, you can get into it easily for $500-$600 with a Nikon D3100 starter kit. The Nikon V series is much more compact and is very nice, too.
I've started out with a Nikon D3100, have collected lenses and accessories for a few year, and am planning to upgrade to the D7200 possibly next year.
There is a great forum called Nikonians.org, which is free and you can go on there and do some reading in the beginners section. If you sign up for $25/yr, the benefits are limitless. For that forum alone, I would choose Nikon over Canon or any other brand.
Note: I have no financial interest in Nikon or the Nikonians forum.
