What camera is good for beginners?

So i'm planning on getting a nice camera with interchangeable lenses. Which is the best considering i've never had more then the little cheep ones? What do you think of the Nikon 1 J2? I'm not trying to spend a thousand dollars on one either.

Maybe go with the Nikon D3100 or the Canon T1i.
