Welcome to the Forum. Lots of good questions, but not a lot of info to help point you in the right direction. For starters, how much experience do you have with photography? Do you want something with manual controls or something that you can use like a point and shoot? What type of system are you currently using? Film or digital? What is your budget? There are a lot of folks here that can help you out, but the more info you can give them, the better.
