What is the Best Professional Digital Camera on the Market.?

I love taking Photos and have never purchased a professional camera. I want something with a fast shutter speed and a professional look and feel.

Assuming you're not going to go with medium format and spend about what you would on a nice car...I swear by my Canon 1d MKIIn and am anxiously awaiting the 1d MK III in May. Are these the best...for me they are...but I bet there would be some folks who beg to differ. If you are just going for look and feel...go for a Nikon D50 or Canon Digital Rebel and spend your money on a white lens of some sort.

nikon d200 if you have about $1800, or d80 for about $1000

The best professional digital camera in terms of it's megapixel robustness would have to be the 39 megapixel Hasselblad H3. However, in terms of practicality and affordability I would concur that the Nikon D200 would be a good camera to start with as a professional. It is a well constructed and rugged camera which really distinguishes itself apart from cheaper digital SLR's. However, if you have a bit more money then look at the Canon Mark II or Mark III.
