Recently I've come across a few girls who be interested in my doing some foot fetish photo sessions. However, I don't have a camera.
Any recomendations on something good for quality amateur photos? Though that may be an oxymoron. I guess I'm not looking to spend a ton of money.
Thanks!

The Canon 1000D or 450D are pretty good and very inexpensive D-SLR cameras.

I use a Sony H-10 now. I used to use a Sony W-50. And before that it was an older 3.2 mega pixel cybershot.

I second getting an dSLR (I use an Olympus E-300) as mentioned by Hal. A smaller (but advanced) camera may put the ladies at ease. Happy shooting and post some shots if it all works out.

I too started with a Sony Cybershot but the crystals in the view finder only lasted a couple years but it was a great starter camera.
It is mostly about light, lighting and the lens. I have a Rebel, but have different lenses depending.
If you check the BHE table a lot of sites get started, but cannot stick with it due to cash or expectations. So your vision and/or expectations play a part in how much and when. It is a journey.

Canon Rebel is the best to start with, I found.
Cheap and affordable.
Durable.
Easy as hell to use.
Fun.

I have to agree with everyone suggesting a Canon Rebel; they're great starter cameras. I personally use a Nikon D300, but combined with the lens it's over $2,500. You can get a Rebel and a decent lens for under $1,000.
Of course, the Nikon D40 is a very capable beginners camera at just over $500 with a lens. And the Nikon D90, at about $1,200 with a lens, will shoot 720P video.
dpreview.com is a great source for camera reviews. Check it out.

what about if you want to shoot video what do you use then?

I used a Sony Cybershot also, the DSC W35. After I saw someone elses pics on here and asked which cam they used. I would recommend a Cybershot as a good starter. It also has reasonable vids.

Most point-and-shoots can do video. I want to clarify that the D90 is a photo SLR first and a video camera second. So it takes pictures.
Look into the Flip Video HD camera for video. It's $200 and has good results -- can also record at 720p. Small too -- the size of a point-and-shoot.

Bondo is absolutely right. The photographer, not the camera, makes the image.
The advantage of even the cheapest SLR is the ability to swap lenses -- better control over depth of field and perspective. Again, if you're not serious about learning photography it might be overkill.

Im a NIKON fan!! I went from using a Nikon Coolpix L1 to a Nikon D60. I absolutly LOVE my dSLR. I can never go back to a point and shoot for photos. On the other hand, I have a Canon Power Shot SD 880is and I use it only for its video capibilities. Its pretty great with the video and sound!! Shop around, look, try the ones in the store... Dont buy the first one you see...
