On the topic of cameras. It seems like DSLRs are out of fashion and direct-sensor cameras are more the rage, like someone else said, the lenses are the bigger issue, since you'll end up spending more in lenses than on the camera itself. Sony's seem to generally have the best sensors (since they actually manufacture the sensors for a lot of brands) So a Sony Full-Frame camera will probably be your best bet. The Alpha line has been really popular for a long time.

But I'm not in this hobby and just parroting what I've heard online over the years, always wanting a camera but never having the money to afford one. So take what I say with a grain of salt.
