If you're going to be shooting content for the net, The Canon D30 is the minimum you want. The Olympuses are not bad if you shoot VERY slow as they have crap buffer which stops every 5-6 shots for the camera to download the pictures to the disc in the camera. Not good if you want to shoot fast and free.
The best digital camera on the market today, affordable, is the Nikon D1X at $6,000 for the body, no lens no memery chip. So you are looking to spend up to $10,000. a lot of monet to shoot $30 internet sets. If you want to print or move into a better market do not waste money on anything else.
Bhutocracy is right about lighting though and digital needs a different lighting set up to film. If you want to get it right.
Bauhaus, never buy a negative scanner. If you want to shoot film shoot positive and get the nikon coolscan 4000
4pics. you need a quality zoom and fast enough film, according to the available light, to shoot at a shutter speed of 180. to get those moving objects with a zoom lens.
But all that is bullshit.
Give a pro photgrapher a simple camera and an idiot $20,000 worth of equipment and the pro will do a better job.
Heres another guy going to be a content provider asking basic questions. Or is it all SPAM

Well, Charly, I don't know where to begin. This only-the-best-will-do-even-when-there's-no-need-for-it approach is what I've gotten from you in just about every encounter.
So, fellas, if you listen to Charly, you'll probably never get into content production because you'll never save up enough money, or you'll need it to put the kids through college.
What horseshit.
Of course, one of the few things I agree with in what you said is "Give a pro photgrapher a simple camera and an idiot $20,000 worth of equipment and the pro will do a better job."
A good photographer can take a great photo with a pinhole camera. If you don't have an eye for color and composition and a way with women, your work will be crap with $50K in equipment.
