What kind of camera would be good for serious artistic photography?
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 own the Sony a200 DSLR and it is great. I would definitely recommend any of the sony Alpha series DSLRs. Go for it. For the price Sony offers the greatest number of features and quality image processing available in DSLRs in it's range. To start off the Sony a100 or a200 would be fine for you, you really don't need much more, but if you can afford the a350 get it. =D

Check these out (links to owner reviews, professional reviews, and detailed specs are on the page): http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=canon_eos450d%2Csony_dslra350%2Csamsung_gx20&show=all
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.
