the body (the bit the lenses attach to) ia just a canon d700 i think, middle of range sort of one. its the lenses and filters and extra shit that end up costing u big money. u can make it as simple or as complicated as you like taking a good photo though, u can leave it on auto and just press the button , or go full manual mode and control everything like depth of field , freezing motion or creating blurs or just making ultra sharp portraits of closer stuff which i guess what you're after with clients?

Would this be Ok for what I want?

1 Buy a Canon
2 buy a DSLR

Do that and the worst that will happen is you will keep buying more lenses for it.

Purchased one of these two weeks ago.

D5200 Kit 18-55/3.5-5.6 VR II Black

A cheap light DSLR and takes awesome photos.

If you need more zoom there are other lens options.

OK so I am a bit of a one eyed Nikon man... Lenses from my old 1990s camera fit!! Canon have changed mounts.

The cheaper Nikons seem to be winning the reviews at the moment.

Ask @The Claw. Sam takes awesome photos.
@GravenBen also has some fantastic snaps. Id love to to photos right too but can hardly keep up with current hobbies.

That's it. Do you want to be a hunter that takes photos or a photographer that hunts?

I don't want to be a photographer
I just want to be able to take nice clear photos of all the deer I see, also being able to give clients nice pics would be a bonus.
I'm kind of thinking a higher end Digital camera will do all I need?

I agree.
There is a hell of a lot to learn with a DSLR if you want to make the most of it. Not to mention multiple lenses, f-stop,s aperture priority and the rest.
I am a point and shoot man myself. I let the camera do the thinking and to you and me they take really good photos. Low light is their biggest enemy but a solid tripod is a huge help.
I have no problem with the quality of photos I get from my compact zoom Oylmpus or my wife's Panasonic or my sons Canon.
And its EASY.

Just shy of $500

@BRADS. I suggest you buy the best camera out there, the more expensive the better. Then in a months time, you can sell it to me for half what you paid, cos it has too many twiddly bits and cogs and things.

After using a camera for a while now with changeable lenses I think the most important thing is being able to quickly turn the camera on and get zoomed in very quickly. I have missed out on some great photos due to having a wide lens on at the time.

The other equally important thing is to have the camera carried comfortably and always in reach. When wearing a bino harness it's been awkward having a weighty camera slung underneath at times and I've thrown in into my pack, of course missing out on more great photos.
