I know a guy who is a professional photographer and takes a lot of pictures of race cars as well as family portraits, etc. He uses digital cameras, and I'm telling you, the quality is unbelievable. I know he's not using a 3 or 4 hundred dollar camera, though. No matter what you do, if you're going professional, it's going to take a lot of money. Film cameras are on the way out, maybe not immediately, but it won't be long.
