Forget all this nonsense about what camera, you are getting suggestions mostly from people who dont have a clue about photography.

First get a name brand DSLR with interchangeable lenses, it doesnt have to be expensive but it does have to work in MANUAL mode.

If you ever want to learn photography and lighting you have to learn to shoot in manual mode, otherwise you are just another idiot who thinks he is a photographer because he can point and shoot.

If you have a decent DSLR the lens is going to have a bigger eefect on the quality of your photos than the camera and the nut that holds the shutter button has the biggest effect of all.

Unless you are going to shoot for publication a Low End Nikon or Canon or other name brand is perfectly fine and even at that a D40 for instance is a fine camera for shooting for most magazines. The extra you pay for cameras is in functionality that is worthless unless you understand what you are doing with it

YMMV
