Re: New Digital Camera - Recommendations?


From your list -
print advertising
portrait
art photography

This strongly suggests to me that you should look into an SLR.

The larger sensors in SLRs deliver less noise;
Higher ISOs;
RAW format for better post-processing;
The flexibility in focal length is unmatched in small format digital;
Options like DOF preview are VERY nice to have for art photography;
The ability to isolate subjects in a shallow DoF is FAR greater than in any current non-SLR;

Look into the Canon and Nikon SLRs. If none of those fit your budget (factoring in lens purchases), then look at the Canon S3.
