This is a hard question to answer without knowing more about what you enjoy shooting, but I don't regret buying a cheap used body and good quality lenses, because when I eventually upgraded the body the lenses could come with me. If you go down the Canon EOS route, bin the kit lens that comes with any prosumer junk and get the 17-40mm (which will be nearly-wide to nearly-telephoto on a crop-sensor camera, and the most versatile wide lens you could wish for on a full-frame-sensor camera when you inevitably upgrade :-) ), and get a cheap fast 50mm prime (which will be a great portrait lens on a crop camera, and a fantastic night-time lens for you on full frame).
