I would buy the lowest-end current dslr from Canon or Nikon. Get the kit lens that comes with the camera and a UV filter. After you use it for a few months, you will know what you need next, like a real flash, or nicer lenses — this will use the rest of that thousand dollars.
Ask yourself this question first. Which brand of lenses (mount) do I want to invest in? Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony etc. When you answer that, then buy the starter or the next step up DSLR of whichever brand you choose along with the kit lens and the memory cards for that model. A camera bag, lens cleaning kit, an LCD protector, a memory card reader and maybe a rocket blower will get you started. Later on as you progress you will know what else you will need for accessories.

Get a small, lightweight tripod. Get the biggest memory card the camera can handle.
