Hello all. I'm not a photographer, but due to my line of work I'm finding myself in need of a high quality camera. My budget is $700, but I am worried about spending money on features I don't need. I have dabbled in crappy point-and-shoot cameras for some time and would be happier with something slightly more sexy. I'm trying to figure out what a good balance would be between 'nice camera' and 'you'll never figure out what this thing here does'. When I've asked around, the only thing I've heard is go for digital SLR.
As far as subject matter, it is primarily portraiture and people (the term 'glamour shots' seems appropriate).
For someone who knows nothing about cameras, does anyone have a place for me to start?
Also I apologize in advance for what may be terrible terminology.
