Tamas,

my view is that too much emphasis is put on the choice of camera

I have a $1000+ Canon DSLR, which I chose because I wanted
something better than a point-and-shoot but couldn't (didn't want
to) afford a $5000+

It is not difficult to take very ordinary pictures with an expensive
camera that has been nerded and over-hyped to the Nth degree

Mine has everything I would ever need/use and I place more
stock in my ability (or, rather, my belief that I'm at least a little bit
competent) to compose shots that are interesting

My suggestion would be to pick a reasonably-featured camera
and learn how to use it well. Buy a tripod and a remote shutter
release too. That increases the applications enormously

Unless you're putting photos up for peer review to be critiqued
I truly believe it doesn't matter a whole lot

Many a classic photo was taken with a Box Brownie, and today's
basic DSLRs are quite capable of producing stunning and impressive
results. Just remember you take the shot, not the camera
