    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?

    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.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    That's it. Do you want to be a hunter that takes photos or a photographer that hunts?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    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.

    @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.
