upgrading my camera I want to buy a new camera so that I can take the next step in my photography career. Seeing as how there are so many good photographers on here, I was wanting to know a few of the best camera's out there just to narrow my search for the perfect camers. I plan on shooting both studio and outdoor photos. Any suggestions?

Jessica, To get a better response instead of everyone telling you what they are using, we need to have more information. 1. What camera are you using now. Also how much photography have you done. 2. What isn't your camera capeable of doing that you want to come out better. 3. If you say "I want to take everything!", then we can recommend a good general purpose camera. If you are new to DSLRs then we will inform you of less expensive cameras to learn with. After you lhave taken 10,000 pictures or more (no joke) you will have areas that you seem to enjoy more than others and want something that is better suited for you. 4. There is no such thing as the "perfect camera." And the one that may seem perfect for you may be very uncomfortable for YOU to use in which case you will use it less. The camera must be comfortable for you. Now if you can fill in some of the blanks we will be able to be of better assistance.

The perfect camera for me is the Canon 5D mk II - it is a full frame camera and I have several L lenses since the glass is more important than the camera. the 5D2 is 21mp (which will require buying a couple of external hard drives because the images will eat a lot of space quickly. I also bought some 8GB & 16GB CF cards for the same reason. I have a 40D as well and use that for my long lenses when I need a bit more reach but I shoot 90% with the 5D2. I'll include a photo so that you can click on the camera info that will take you to the reviews and you can read more info about it. I also have an older 1DS but it weighs a ton. The included photo is of an acrobat suspended in the air by a dozen large balloons and she is about 30 feet high. Notice the short DOF (f/3.5) and high ISO 4000 and it is sharp with no noise. Click on the SCI-HH to see all the photos :) SCI-HH Cheers,
