I went from a Canon Powershot point and shoot to a Nikon DSLR just recently and I'm very happy with it. I'm also a beginner. I mean, I've always enjoyed photography and wanted to get better, hence the getting a nice camera.
I definitely agree with Madelyn and say give it a try. I mean, I didn't because my camera was a gift, but my mother, who got it for me, had had good experiences with Nikons before.
Do some research and figure out what you want in a camera and what kind of photos you want to take. I think that's a really good place to start. And don't be scared because you're a beginner. I've found a lot of great resources, not to mention just fiddling around and snapping photos is great to learn. Plus, the advantage of it being digital is that you don't have to worry about spending money developing bad photos!
