Good digital camera for photography?I want to start toying around with some photography of nature, animals, people, etc. I would like to get a good digital camera but don't need something for professionals since this will be my first time working with this type of photography. I don't have a ton of money to spend so I would prefer low prices but would probably spend up to $ 300 if necessary. My questions are: What is a point and shoot camera? And what type of camera I should get? And any tips on photography and beginning photography would be very appreciated!

The Nikon D50 and Canon 10D regularly sell at your price point.

A point and schoot camera is typically a compact camera marketed at the consumer crowd. These cameras are smaller in size, lighter, and less expenseive then their advanced counterparts. They are available in all sorts of megapixel ranges. I bought a Sony W5 (5.1mp) about 4 years ago, and I've taken over 10,000 pictures with it. I like that camera. The lenses on these cameras typically retract back into the body of the camera. They offer many pre-set programs, and some manual settings.
If you're looking at doing photography as a hobby, and not just taking pictures of family at Christmas time, I would suggest getting a D SLR. the "D" stands for digital and SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. These cameras offer interchaingabe lenses (each sold seperately). Typically, they will come with a good starter lesn, and then as you save your pennies, you can buy more lenses for different things (wildlife, landscapes, portraits, Macro-close up- photography) depending on your interests. Unfortunately, thse cameras a a little more expensive than a point and shoot, but the flexibility is worth the additional costs.
As far as DSLR's go, you can't go wrong with a Canon Digital Rebel or a Nikon D40. Personally, I own a Nikon D90, and I love it (it was pricy, though).
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
