You have a ton of options. I would stick to either Nikon or Canon as there's tons of equipment out there and finding deals on used lenses is pretty easy (I have several lenses in my kit that I bought used). Personally, I prefer Nikon and that's what I know. For getting into a DSLR, you're looking at something along the lines of a D3200, D51000, or a D7000. Up until this winter, I had been shooting the D7000 and have taken just a ton of images with it (over 45,000) and it's been great. I've taken images with it that have been published in magazines and in newspapers, so image quality isn't an issue. At this point, it's pretty much Nikon's top of the line crop sensor/consumer body. The D5100 has the same sensor, but a many of the features have been crippled so Nikon has multiple tiers of camera bodies at differing price points and options and external controls.
The lenses are going to, by far, determine the image quality. The kit lens will be good to start with, but you'll soon be wanting to add to your collection of lenses to do what you want. Lenses are tools, just the tools in our toolboxes, there's a specific one for a specific task. There's really no all in one lens, but that's really the fun of it - learning what you like to shoot, and figuring out how to accomplish it the best way.
In my opinion, you want a camera that you will grow into and not out of. Hope this helps.
