What camera should I buy?

[Lrod]

I've been borrowing my aunt's camera.. she has a Canon Rebel... It takes pretty good photos.. but i'm looking for something with more depth.. richer pictures.. I take a lot of art photos, a lot of landscapes, flowers... i've only just recently started taking portraits of people and events.. I'm wondering what the best camera is for me... something that gives rich pictures and is versatile enough to photography events/people and beautiful landscape/art photography. I'm also trying to stay under $3000.00..

Any advice would be appreciated!

A few things to understand and consider:

1) what you are looking for has little to do with the particular brand or model of a camera. Any SLR from any of the major named companies will provide you with what you are looking for...from entry level right up to pro level cameras.
2) "richness" (I'll assume you are talking about contrast, brilliance, and saturation) can be adjusted in the camera's custom settings, and certainly can mostly be done, and more often done in post processing.
3) different lenses yield color saturation and contrast differently. That said, your choice of lenses will impact that

With $3000 to spend you will have a broad choice of cameras and lenses to consider...so, the choice is yours

Agreed with Vinnie. Go to a camera store, see and hold different makes and models and see what feels best.

thanks to both of you for the advice.

I do agree with both the above posts. The cameras you can check out are Canon 7D or Canon 60d with a portrait lens after all glass do make difference.
