Honestly... If someone is very seriuosly about learning photography, I do not recommend and sort of point & shoot, because you can't learn much from them other than composition..!  The relative f-stop / Depth of field just isn't enough to show the difference IMHO.  Starting with any sort of DSLR or even the 4/3 would be the least.
As regarding to expesnive gears vs less expensive model..!  I strongely believe that ones should never go out any buy the most expensive camera model...!  We as photographers should really out-grow our less expensive camera gears before upgrading, that's a learning process.

Not really, but if you really want to go back, consider 6x6 or large format.  I think that's where you can see the advantage of film cameras over DSLR.  And let me know what you have decided, since I would eventually pickup a 6x6 myself as well...!

hehe.. not like me... I like to push things and myself to the limit.. =D  But I am old too la!!

I bought my Jeep knowing that it's an off road SUV, so I mod. it and go do some 4 wheeling...!  Then I have my Subaru STi knowing that it's a sport car.., so I take it to the track and auto-cross...!  I bought my camera knowing that it can take great pictures.. so I end up shooting wedding for money, and now want to get into fashion photography in more studio lighting..!  But then, I am the type of person who really enjoy learning new things...!  And enjoy to become better with my own hobbies..!  (BTW, I don't do this under any sort of stress, which is the key to play & learn)

Nowadays ..   sigh ..   

few yrs ago ..  ( 7 or 8 ? ) when I used a SLR to take pic .. people couldn't stop laughing at me ..   

Now? either cell phone or DSLR .. ( P mode, auto iso, build in flash  ...
