I have been taking photo's with a digital camera for the last 3 years I have been using a Nikon dslr (D70s) It only has 6 megapixels but in my opinion takes great shots(See video)
You don't need expensive equipment to take decent shots OK I cheated a bit by using photoshop to get the desired effect but pics straight out of the camera are usually better than most modern compacts costing twice as much as I paid for my d70s.
If you're halfway interested in photography you should get yourself a cheap secondhand dslr (mine cost £150) the best way to learn about photography is to shoot as much as you can don't just take a couple of shots of one subject shoot 10 or 15 at different exposures and angles then choose the best ones and edit in any digital software if needed.
Don't go down the path where the more megapixels the better start with a cheap camera and shoot everything you see, trust me your photography will improve dramatically.
I reckon that every 40 or 50 shots I take I will get one shot I like, and when you have a decent collection of photo's you should join a photography website like Digital Rev for instance, here you can post your shots and other like minded photographers can see your work and like or comment on your photo's, it's easily the best way to learn, and you can get idea's from looking at other people's photo's.
I would start by looking at second hand camera website's and reviews of cameras on you tube, The make of camera does not matter they are all good at what they do, don't get drawn into thinking the better the camera the better the photo, if you do that you will probably waste a lot of money on expensive equipment that will probably end up at the back of your wardrobe, start off cheap and if you get bitten by the bug then later you can get another camera that suits your need.
