I am interested in photography. I believe I would be good at it and so does everyone else. What is the best kind of camera to use to get pics like the photograpy artists do?

Hi,
Whatever you get, start with an inexpensive camera; unless you have a whole lot of money that you don't need. I have been taking pictures for over 50 yrs, and you don't want to spend a lot to start with.
Do you want a "regular" camera, that uses roll film, or do you want a digital camera?
You can get a good camera, any brand, for less that $100, some even less.
What type do you want?
My own digital camera is a Nikon 4460 Cool Pix, costs less than $120, and takes excellent pictures, both auto and set yourself settings.
If you want a Digital Camera like the Professionals use, then be prepared to spend over $2,500 for a "single lens relex" digital professional camera.
Best of luck.

Hi,
Sorry I didn't have time to do a search before, but here is a link:
http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/
It's one of the best sites for comparing digital cameras, and reading reviews about them.
If you scroll down about 3/4 the way, and look over to the left of the page, there will be price ranges to click on, showing cameras in those ranges.
Best of luck,
PS; You can lose with a Nikon, but all the others are good, too. Canon is a leading seller of digital cameras.
