Camera For Photography Beginners

I don't have much money to purchase a brand new professional camera? Which would be a good inexpensive camera that could help me build my identity for the art of photography?

I would like to take black and white pics
headshots
and fashion

thanks for your expertise!!!

canon / nikon is your best bet if you're looking for DSLR

I'd suggest the Canon EOS XSi digital rebel and with a 50mm f1.8 II or a 50mm f1.4 USM lens

I want to get into photography. I just want a camera that can open the door for me. I want to spend about 200. I want a digital slr camera but they are too expensive. Is there a nice digital camera to get me in the door? Then if i decide that i really want to venture on then i can invest in a more expensive high quality camera. What would u suggest?

You did not mention the currency. If you mean 200 GBP, then I would definitely suggest the Canon 1000D. That is the cheapest DSLR, and even the cheapest DSLR can beat the most expensive compact.
If you mean 200 USD, you can't get a DSLR . So I would suggest something like the Canon G series, which is like the next best thing to a DSLR, but way better than compacts.
Also consider an used DSLR.

Price: $2.99

Preferably one that's easy to figure out, and takes AMAZING quality pictures. Pictures that look professional.

I use a Fuji A820.

I am really into photography, and the crappy kodak I've got now isn't really doing very well. So, I'd like to get a new one.
Preferably something that is fairly easy to figure out that won't take a year to figure out how to snap a simple shot.
I'd like to keep it under 500 dollars, but price isn't really an issue.

What do you recommend?
Links would be great as well.

Well if you want a camera that's fully automatic look into the Canon PowerShot A560. If you want one where you adjust shutter speeds/aperture etc look into the Canon A590 IS.
The A590 IS is a camera in which you can learn a bit about photography. There are reasons people change shutter speeds and aperture settings and this inexpensive camera you can do it with; or just leave on auto. It's "next shot delay" is fairly quick.
