Go with a digital SLR, you wont regret it. Either Nikon or Cannon (you’ll never get a solid answer to which is better so don’t try, its personal preference) Cannon is usually more expensive, Nikon seems to have slightly better lenses and prices. Nikon however was, or still is, encrypting the files their cameras take which makes it harder to view on software other than theirs later, you might check into this. Even so, if you ask me, I’d go with Nikon. Pick your important features to narrow it down, then visit a camera store to actually hold them.

Well sure …if money wasn’t a factor Id go with the Canon EOS digital. All the regular EOS lenses will fit the digital body.

I have to agree w/the Canon fans. I’ve had the EOS 10D for four years and ***love*** it. The processor (DIGIC II) inside the new Canons is known for its quality images w/very little “noise”, the equivalent of grain in film photos. Here’s a guideline, in order of price:
Canon S3 IS – a very nice camera w/a fixed zoom lens
Canon EOS 30D – a little better than the Digital Rebel (350D) another person recommended, since you said price doesn’t matter. ~$1300
Canon EOS 5D – and absolutely awesome camera for the price, which is ~$3K.
Canon EOS 1DS Mk II – the best. If you just plain have money to burn *and* you don’t mind carrying one crazy heavy camera around, go for it and have a blast. ~$6K

If you are looking for a smaller camera I would look at the line Sony has that are very flat and are about the size of a deck of cards. If you want better than that, spend about $800 and get a Leica Digilux 2. If you want a single-lens-reflex, look at the Nikon D200 or the Canon.
