I want to get into serious photography, and I'm looking to buy a camera that is good for artistic photography (macro, portrait, landscape) but would also like a casual shot capability (family trips.. etc.) I had my eye on the Sony DSLR a350. Does anyone have it? What do you think of it? (and if you don't have it) What would YOU recommend for a good digital camera? DSLR or not? Good brand? Any input is great! :)

I would go for any of these three, but I would prefer the Samsung GX-20 simply because its dust and weather resistant seals make it more suitable to my own personal needs. Plus it has (very slightly) better features than the other two.

Is there a major difference between the first and second camera? I am interested in artistic self-portraits and also nature (I enjoy flowers in macro-mode a lot) and photography of my local area (Brighton)
£250 really is my family's limit. Any guidance is appreciated.
Honestly I'm not sure. I would go to a local camera store and ask to see both of them. They should show it to you and you can play around with each of them.
To be completely honest, nothing can compare to the artistic freedom of an SLR camera, but I can completely under it not being in your budget.
Both of these cameras have a very zoom, and both are very similar looking at the specifications. My only question deals with the memory. The first camera (9 megapixels) has a memory slot. The second camera has a built-in memory.
I know you can get several sizes of memory cards, so I'm wondering if 50 mb is gonna cut it. I ALWAYS use a 2 gig or higher memory card in my cameras. 50 mb is about half of a gigabyte.
After seeing that it does not have a removable memory, I would definitely say get the first camera. Hands down. Especially if the other camera is 10 megapixels, you will fly through memory like nobody's business.
EDIT: After reading another person's response, I double checked the cameras. One has minimum focusing distance of 1 cm, and the other is 10 mm. These numbers are the same amount of focusing distance.
Our daughter is very artistic and being raised in a photography studio already knows a lot but my husband and I decided that we need to create a family hobby involving photography for two reasons.
One: We want to spend time with our daughter having fun and developing deeper relationships. She is fun and loves to hang with us and at nine it is the perfect time to deepend that relationship before she hits the teens.
Two: we obviously love photography but tend to do it more for work than we used to when we photographed for the simple joy.
We decided that we should make a hobby of photographing 'something' as a form of 'collecting. We live in Texas and thought we would make weekend trips with our daughter to 'discover and photograph'. BUT WHAT?
Any ideas what might be fun for two jaded pros and a little girls just learning the wonders of her camera? We don't want to do barns. Overdone. Texas wildflowers are only in the spring. We considered town squares in small towns.
For fairly creative people we seem stumped. Any ideas. Places? Objects in towns? Cars?.Really, we would love any creative ideas. Maybe we have been paid for our work too long. We really want to rediscover the joy along with teaching our daughter the joy.
Thanks!
I love the suggestions so far. In the Texas Hill Country the big ranches decorate their gates very elaborately at Christmas. We talked about doing that as a book project a couple of years ago but haven't yet. And of course that is only at Christmas.
Keep 'em coming. I can't wait to show Kiley Rea (that would be the little daughter... she is at her first away camp this week and will be excited to see all the things to choose from)
Antoni... when you are a little girl...? You are too silly! We actaully did think about horses and she already does want a pony. We live in small town Texas. Tons of horse ranches. On across the street from my mother. My husband just took her out horsebackriding a couple of weeks ago. She knows no pony where we live but is begging for riding lessons. I've told her that will only happen when we decied to give up the luxury of buying groceries! :-) ...hum... 6 months of riding lessons or a new camera....hum...think we'll stick with ballet...
Kids nowadays eh Mrs Diva.
when i was a little girl i was happy if my parents remembered my name, on my birthday they would insult me and beat me with sticks - such happy days
I know this is so unpredictable (from me) but why not Horse trekking, im sure all three of you would love a little trot in the countryside,
i make an ok living out of horses and architecture - much nicer making images in the country then with cars and people like ants everywhere.
be warned you may start hearing "mummy i want i pony" so best to explain why/why not before you go.
As one pro the another - you know this but have gotten a little stale maybe- magic hour, anything F8 @ 15secs (iso100) is my fav for landscapes, (x300, F2, AE1 etc, if poss)
Me i would burn trannies they are just so sexy, if you dont have a film scanner then i geuss digi,
Take her for some night exposures, anything with water reflections i like.
Constantly remind her how hard it was for you "I used to get up 5 minutes before i went to bed" haha
Is there a petting Zoo nearby?
Thats all I got, what a rearly lovery idea, shes a lucky girl.
a
I have decided on the Canon Rebel XSi/450D.
But I haven't decided on whether to buy the bundle with the standard EF-S 18-55mm lens, or buy only the camera body and lens separately. I will be doing mostly portraits (families, HS seniors, engagements...). I will likely be doing some artistic photography as well, maybe landscapes or nature... but my emphasis is definitely on portraits.
What lens would you suggest?
The kit lens is pretty decent for a cheap zoom and very versatile (I have one). Consider getting the kit and spending an additional $85 for a 50mm f/1.8 to use for portraits.
I just do it for fun, nothing serious or professional by any means, but what do you think?

Some of the pictures with my niece are just up there so that I could share them with family, they aren't supposed to be artistic or anything.
well i must say, pretty good.
