Need to pick ur brains zombie-like!

My wife is interested in a new camera - we have a cannon digital from a while ago - but its a consumer camera and want to get something a little more *pro*.

I'm not really sure what specs to be looking for or what price range. She would like to take photos of people, places, etc but to get a better quality than the average consumer camera - I think you know how I mean - landscapes and close-ups. Possibly for display.

Any hints on best place to look and spec/prices??

Thanks for all the info - a lot to have a look at although I'm liking the look on the Sony DSLR Alpha 350

I'll check out your gallery this eve with the wife and have a look

Cheers.

No problem DS, you can check it here 1qi3gptz, the wider albuns are the ones taken with the 350, the others are from a p150 (7.2mp) or a H9 (10.1 Mp)

The pictures on the gallery are not the original raw files, gallery does not support pics above 10mp, so these have beem downsized and jpeg, as it doesn't support the raw format sony has.

If you want any of these pics in the original raw format, i'll give them to you, the have average 15MByte

I think the 350 is out of production, in substitute you have de 380.
