I love my Nikon D50. Having the power and flexibility of a "real" camera makes taking pictures all that much more fun.
I'll never go back to a P+S exclusively. There'll be blood everywhere before I do.
Lenses, filters, flashes... all changeable and there's a damn lot of them out there for most SLRs. You'll end up with a new hobby once you pick up your first SLR - serious hobbyist / amateur photography.

Good luck!
