    I don't know if there really is a "best" SLR for use in a studio, or lens. A lot will depend on what you are going to use it for.

    At my day job I do a lot of product photography, which all our products end up on our website. I use a 4mp Nikon D2h camera, and I mainly use a 28-70 F2.8 lens, and a 150mm F2.8 macro lens.

    When I'm doing portraits, I use my 70-200 F2.8 90% of the time, and sometimes I'll switch to a wider lens if I'm doing a group photo.

    With 4mp, I've blown up a few prints to 11x14 with no problems, and I wouldn't hesitate to make them bigger. You shouldn't have any problems with large print sizes with 10mp.

    My advise would be to start with a simple setup, such as 1 camera, a 50mm 1.8, one light source, and a reflector. That will help you learn the basics and after using those tools you'll better realize what other tools you need for the job, or for the look you're trying to go for.
