If you want to be a photographer, you really need a photographers camera, called an SLR (single lens reflex). A good starting place for that is the Canon XT, its expensive but you will get blinding photographs from it. The reason to spend the money on it is you can change the lens on this camera and upgrade it, basically it will grow with you.

How ever if you are on a budget, a good transition camera is what you need, i recomend the kodak z812, it talkes good photographs and has a very good lens, it also has many controls that a normal compact camera would not have meaning that you can be creative with it, how ever it is still quite large.

For a super budget camera I would recomend the Panasonic Lumix LZ6, it ticks all the good camera boxes and although it is an old model it used to be one of the best Panasonc did, meaning its both good AND cheap, how ever if you want to be a photographer and want a camera to grow with you I would strongly recomend either of the other two. Only go for this if thats all you can afford.

p.s if you want to go one step further go for this, its the Canon XTi, the upgrade of the XT, and although more expensive its miles better.

Hope that helps

I am 13 too and want to be a photographer. My first camera was a canon eos 40D. it is a great camera. it is 1500 dollars but if you go to bhphotovideo.com there is a 6 months no paments. so you do not have to pay for 6 months. that helped me pay of the camera.

B&H is a very good web site for almost any type of camera.
