dslr camera vs image
Holly S
Not looking to buy anything really expensive this will be more of a hobby not for professional use, but I would like to get some professionalish looking pictures, something more of the quality that I get with my plain sony cybershot.
Nikon D3100 14.2MP DSLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens, 3" LCD, HD Video

It has pretty good reviews but I really would like to hear from someone who knows about photography vs the average mom who takes pics of her kids.
Answer
Yep, the Nikon D3100 is an excellent entry level DSLR, and combined with the kit 18-55mm lens (equivalent to 27-82mm lens on a film/full frame digital camera) will cover a decent range.
However, you should realise that the reason it is selling for so cheap at the moment is because it was replaced by the Nikon D3200 last year and thus stores are sellign out stock to bring the replacement model in. Still, it is a very good camera and has all the capabilities you will need for your purposes. A word of advice, if it comes with free training be sure to use it! For someone new to DSLRs that intro training is superb, explaining not just the functions of the camera but some of the theories behind the way cameras work to let you start utilising the camera to its best rather than just relying on the auto mode

How limited am i using a Cannon dig reb xti?

I have a Cannon rebel xti camera and I was wondering how limited am i using this camera vs. using other high dollar cameras. What features or aspects am i losing by having this camera vs. the more expensive/professional ones? Can you be a professional photographer using a camera like this?
Answer
I don't know how the Digital Rebel xti looks, over here the Canon dSLR's has number not letters, and I'm shooting with Nikon cameras.
The biggest difference between high end (pro) cameras and consumer models are in picture quality in higher ISO settings (the amount of noise) and the speed. It is actually the lens that are the important part of making a good quality photo, and not so much the camera body. If you are a good photographer you can absolutely compete against high end cameras with a consumer body, the camera is just your tool, it's easier to work with a good tool but just like like a good carpenter could make wonderful things with a cheap hammer a photographer can do wonders with a cheap camera.
