Don't focus on equipment to the exclusion of composition and developing your eye.
Focusing on equipment, bells, whistles, filters, etc. won't make any better as a photographer and it will actually detract / distract you from your learning composition and developing your eye.
Really good, artistically focused photographers hate it when someone looks at their photos and says, "Wow! what kind of camera did you use?" as if it's all about the camera and not the artist. Camera geeks are just the opposite; they want to talk about the specs of their camera and their equipment instead of their results.
When you get to the point where you (and other people) are focusing on the content and subject matter of your photos, rather than the technical aspects and "how-to" then you'll know you're on the right path.
