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.
@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. :P
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.
That is why I went for a superzoom/bridge. Two seconds for turn on and another four seconds for full zoom. With a DSLR you have to figure out which lens you want, ... and to get half the zoom range of the all in one unit it is about three to four times the weight all up.
Brads I have an old box brownie in the back of the cupboard. It's worth about $1.53 so you can have it for eight hundy. Ya can't get film for it anymore so I will write some numbers on the side of it and c all it digital.
But then why pay for the expensive, heavy dslr when leaving it on auto and using one lens has no advantage over a cheaper, lighter superzoom/bridge camera?
