Only thing is, you'd think buying a camera for that much money that is digital, then lighting really should'nt be an issue...

AaronM shoots with a much higher end Canon than the one in the class of that Nikon. I think the picture you posted was the 8700. I shot with the 5700 for over a year, it's the one before the 8700, and was only 5Mp as opposed to 8. It took great pictures, but it took me a while but eventually I got to the point where it took great pictures. Now, that being said, we now shoot with a Nikon D70, and sometimes I wish I was still using the 5700.
When you say "that much money", the 5700 same out at $1200.00 at CompUSA, which is where we got ours. Now, two years later, you can get the 8700 for $800.00 almost anywhere, and that's a steal for that camera. It's very easy to use, and will be more than enough camera for you to shoot some basic stuff and produce some really good content.
My comment about lighting was made because if I knew then what I know now about how important lighting really is, I could have gotten even better results with my 5700.
The D70 we have was over $1,300.00, and the Canon that Aaron is using is closer to $2,000.00 plus the lenses he has (which I can imagine are another few thousand in total).
