Default Buying a Camera

I thought this would be a straight-forward process. Read a few reviews, as a couple of questions in stores and walk out of some place, somewhere with a camera in hand...this is not the case!

1. I am not a pro, I am not an amateur...I am someone who is looking to get into photography as a hobby at first and then a business later as I learn the ropes and take some educational classes on the subject.

2. I am too "poor" to buy "cheap"! In other words I am not looking for point and shoots, and I am not looking for something to get me by. I am looking for a camera that is pro-grade that will not be "outdated" or surpassed as I learn more and more!

3. I have learned that personal preference creeps in when talking to a salesman. Some prefer Canon and others Nikon. I personally feel that the innovation and styles of Canon are more what I am looking for but I do not know.

I would appreciate any kind of information that would be useful in making a decision like this

Thanks
