I just started interning at a modeling agency and I need to buy a really good digital camera to shoot the models with. I’m fairly new to the digital world. I need something under $1000 with an interchangable lens so I can play with different lens. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

I got the Nikon D60 camera, and it beat my old camera by a long shot. I love this thing!
Technical Details
* Extraordinary 10.2-megapixel DX-format Nikon picture quality
* Includes 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR and 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lenses
* 2.5-inch LCD screen; horizontal and vertical orientation are detected automatically
* Continuous shooting at 3 fps; Active Dust Reduction System with Airflow Control
* Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included)
If you want to buy the best camera, Nikon is the brand you want.
I evaluated the Sony, Canon and Nikon models, and in the end the 60 provide the right blend of megapixels, comfort while shooting, available Vibration Reduction lens combinations, and at a price point under $1000 for body and 2 lens, 18-70 VR and 55-200 VR. I have found these VR lens do indeed add an extra level of forgiveness in your shooting.
In last 30 days, we have taken shots of Vegas sites, the Grand Canyon and of many sites along the Nile in Egypt, daylight and night, and the results are very good even for an amateur such as myself.
Believe me it’s the best choice for the money you got.
To be fair to shoot pro quality optics you will need to spend much more than $1000. The standing in high fashion is a Hassleblad, 25 or 50 megapixels. Normally megapixels are overrated but in this case you may be printing posters and billboards and that is necessary.
The optics of the lenses are also important. Commercial level lenses, a good 70mm-100mm that you would want to use for faces can run over $3000.
I don’t mean to scare you off but the truth is that’s what it takes. You need a full frame sensor to shoot the super high resolution you see in magazines. And the processing it takes for that type of computing costs upwards of $5000 to make. The Hassleblads I mentioned earlier go for $30,000.
But all that said Nikon D300 or Olympus E-3 run just over $1000 and can get the job done.
You might want to talk with the photograhers with whom you’ll be working as an intern/apprentice. From a purely practical aspect, it would make sense for you to be able to use the same lenses and accessories and therefore try their gear (if they let you) before buying your own. Beyond that, Canon and Nikon both offer cameras that are under a $1000. There are other options but I’ve met less than a dozen fashion photographer who didn’t shoot Canon or Nikon….Those rare exceptions shot medium format Hassleblad, Mamiya, or Pentax 645 type cameras with one actually shooting large format, view camera for some projects.
