I would suggest Digital SLR camera,they works great for your propose. If you don’t want to spend much money I would suggest Nikon D40, an excellent camera wih affordable price.

It is not the camera you are looking for. Any slr camera should suffice so long as you can change out the lenses. Now, what you are looking for is a choice of lenses. I would suggest starting with a lower end slr (like a nikon d40 shown here http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8139169&type=product&id=1158323379076&DCMP=KNC-TLC&ref=30&loc=KW-1267) )and have maybe two lenses; probably an 18-55 mm lens and maybe a 75-210 would be good examples. This all comes down to your preference. I also suggest that you not just jump into photography, and you don’t want to spend too much money on an expensive hobby that you liked at one point and don’t like anymore. All in all, look around, and spell check your work before you post it.
-Good luck!

I would suggest…Nikon Fe2 or Nikon Fm3a
built like a tank
huge variety of good quality lenses
hold their value
high quality and will probably outlast you and I
intuitive to use
very cheap to get setup and you wont find you cant take photos because your batteries have gone flat.

this website has a huge amount of info on Nikon camera bodies
Repeat this 100 times: “It isn’t the camera, its the photographer.” Get the point?
To make good pictures requires knowledge of light, composition, ISO, lenses, f-stops and shutter speeds and the skill to use them all together to make the picture you want to make. If you do not have this knowledge and skill then the camera you’re using doesn’t matter.
“Pictures are not taken, they are made.” Ansel Adams.
So before you run out and spend your money on a DSLR you should first take a few photography classes.
Buying a set of mechanic’s tools does not make you a mechanic.
Buying a set of carpenter’s tools does not make you a carpenter.
Buying a DSLR does not make you a photographer.
my canon 50d is great – check out my images

I recommend to anyone seriously contemplating the purchase of a new digital SLR camera to consider these two primary questions:
1. How much money do you have to spend???? $500.? $800.? $1,500.?
2. What level of photography do you aspire to “progress to” in the coming years ? (i.e. basic beginner, intermediate, or professional/business use).
For most beginners to intermediates I usually suggest one of these two manufacturers: Canon vs Nikon
1. Canon EOS Rebel model XSi. (Also known as the Canon 450D in Britain) The “kit” package comes with an 18-55mm zoom lens. The camera has pop-up flash, 12.2 Megapixels, and shutter speeds up to 1/4000th, 100-1,600 ISO sensitivity, 7 auto exposure Scene modes, PLUS Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Programmed Exposure Modes and Manual. It also has a 3 inch LCD screen, 3.5 frames continuous per second max., 9 point AF system, Live View Functioning and the ability to record photos in 3, 6 or 12 Megapixels PLUS numerous other great features found only on more expensive cameras. Wal-Mart is also selling them now for about $799. Sam’s Club also has them for $729. I also think that Amazon dot com has them for around $650.
I bought one of these 6 months ago and use it as my “back up” camera. I absolutely love it. I have gotten some fantastic photos with it and cannot praise it enough. I routinely enlarge my photos to make 8×10’s and 11×14 size enlargements with no noticeable distortion or loss of detail in the pictures.
2. Nikon D-90: If you prefer to use Nikon equipment I strongly recommend the Nikon D-90 which has 12.3 Megapixels, 3 inch monitor with Live View, 200-3,200 ISO sensitivity, 11 point AF system with Face Priority, 4.5 frames per second in continuous mode, 5 advanced Scene modes for auto exposure plus Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Programmed Auto plus Manual. The D-90 sells for around $900-950. (Body ONLY. The 18-55mm lens cost an additional $150.-175.) Typically, Nikon equipment is slightly more expensive than Canon equipment, but (having owned both Nikon and Canon cameras), I have seldom noticed BETTER quality results using Nikon equipment.
You might also consider the Nikon D-40 ($499) kit that comes with the 18-55mm lens. Another great choice is the Nikon D-60 kit ($649) which also comes with the 18-55mm lens. All of these Nikon’s can be found at Best Buy or Amazon dot com for a very low price.
These selections are probably the best choices for any beginner to intermediate skill level, offering the most lenses and other accessories, dealers and places to purchase.
I strongly recommend that ALL beginners buy a good book on digital photography AND take a class or two from a Vocational school or Community Education Center in your area.
