Answer
Any of the entry level DSLRs would keep you happy for a few years. I'd pick either Canon or Nikon. I have a LOT of contact with other photographers and time and time again it seems that either one of those are most likely to make their owners happy.
The most important part is to buy only the best lenses - camera bodies get upgraded, lenses stay with us.
You WILL regret buying cheap lenses.
Don't rush into buying lenses. Start with a kit lens, get to know your camera, that lens, and all photographic principles.
Through time and through use, you will eventually KNOW what other lenses you'll need/want.
The more time you'll take, the less likely you are to regret your choices.
If you know anyone close to you with a camera, consider borrowing lenses and "picking their brain" about their camera and whatever else they know.
Go to a store and hold a few cameras, see how they feel to YOU.
Keep in mind that buying a DSLR isn't cheap, even if you find a good deal for body and kit lens.
You'll also want and/or need a few other things such as tripod, filters, a bag, sensor cleaning gear, a second battery, memory cards, perhaps a remote shutter release etc.
That's just the small stuff - I can guarantee you that you'll also want more and more lenses.
You'll also want a decent flash some day.
See how that list just goes on and on?
Owning a DSLR isn't cheap - at least not until you have built up a nice stash of gear.
Just some food for thought........
Do lots of research before you buy, and start learning about photography, too.
The very best thing you can do for your photography is to attend a class and read a few books and tutorials. Having some knowledge will make a huge difference to your images.
I hope I have expressed this idea clearly enough: YOU need to learn about photography because even the world's best camera will take lousy shots in the hands of someone who has no clue how to use it.
P.S. any DSLR can capture a photo like the one you linked to, provide you have the right macro lens for it, the right lighting and YOU know what you're doing.
About video: Many still cameras have video functions, and especially the DSLRs with video produce decent enough results. However, if video is important to you, you are MUCH better off with a camcorder.
At this point in time, they still do a much better job (and are much more user-friendly) at video and audio recording than still cameras can.

Which camera lens filter should i get?
RAWRRAWRRA
Ok first off I am new to photography so go easy on me guys...anyways I would like to buy a lens filter but im not sure which brand I should get or what size I need...the camera that I will be getting a lens for is my Nikon coolpix L120. I have a couple more questions, is it worth getting one? What size do I need? Which brand is best? About how much is it? Im looking for a regular/everyday and a macro one.
Thanks for your time!

Firstly, this is a bridge camera not a DSLR - does the front of the lens have a filter thread to screw a filter on? I've looked at images & can't tell & it's not mentioned in a couple of reviews I looked at. If there's no filter thread, you won't be getting one at all.
If it is threaded, then the front of the lens will have a diameter marked (in mm, with symbol of a circle with a line through it, next to it). That is the size you would need. FIlters are handy to protect the front lens element (although this is not so critical with a retractable lens) and some can improve contrast & colour in images (circular polariser is probably the best bet - darkens skies a little & reduces glare & reflections on glass/water).
But - as I mentioned, from the images I saw it doesn't look like a filter can be put on the lens with this camera.
