    There are many. Good point & shoots and great SLRs.

    What's you budget?

      I don't think shooting content with a point and shoot is a good idea...

      I think the lowest you can probably get away with is nikon d70 or canon e20...

        I'd like to stay under 2,000. I have looked at the Canon e20. What sort of flash should I get for it? I know I need to spend alot more for a content camera, but I have to start somewhere and in this case, its kinda small.

        I appreciate the feedback already given.

        In the future, when I have more cash for a good content camera, what kind should I get that is in the $3 to 5k range? Thanks

          Go with Nikon D70 or Canon D20.

          You might as well start with the right one from the beginning.

                as for the flash, the best bang for the buck are Alien Bees, followed close by White Lightning, (just to keep prices low and quality high), i use Hensel studio flashes, fitted with Chimera softboxes and various accesories, count about 4 flash heads for pro lightning...

                    i agree with what others have said. the d70 and to 20d are both great. even the new rebel xt might not be a bad choice its almost as good as the 10d and is only $999. check em out!

                      D70 is more then fine to start with and well end with for that matter. The body is about $900.00 and you can get a Nikon 50mm lens for about 125.00.

                      I just bought one for backup when my fuji went down. Took me just a couple sets to get the feel of it which I was impressed with.

                      Might not be a real work horse like the big Nikons or Fuji's, but its a great camera for someone starting. Nice camera for the money.
                      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
