I am the artist. What is the best digital camera to buy?

It should be at least 10 megapixels.

Google "digital camera reviews" - there are great review sites on line...dpreview.com, dcresource.com, and many others.

I would definately go with a Nikkon. There are good quality and surprisingly affordable.

nikkon d80. The best out right now.

Sony Alpha for sure! i got one not long ago and i am very impressed with all its features! its reasonably inexpensive too! but thats if you want something thats reasonably cheap (by comparison)

My husband has a Nikkon d80. It takes great photos, is easy to use, he loves it!

If you are a professional photographer you will need state of the art camera/s.

As an artist myself a simple, small camera works fine for taking images.

A sketchbook is best though as it gives you memories of the place that a photograph does not . .mind you I have used a camera 'sketchbook' for years to compliment my drawings.
