Jaline honey,
Don't blow the bank on your first camera. Whatever you get for your first one you'll either outgrow or it'll be outclassed in a year or three.I'd stay away from Olympus as I've never really been convinced by their image quality and wacky sensors but whichever route you go make sure that the body you get allows for Apeture Priority, Shutter Priority, and if possible full Manual. I'm not sure if the really beginner models offer those features so double check. Being able to do Mirror-Lockup is also a bonus if you're shooting long exposures on a tripod. Vistek or Henry's might have a used or refurbed mid-range model from a year or two ago. Talk to their sales rep and tell them what you need it to do.
If you love photography and continue to make a go of it, you'll be way better positioned to make choices on your next body.
