These days its hard not to have a good enough camera you dont need a fun looking big complicated one especially with amateur stuff being so popular still, any argos hd one should do and they are usually idiot proof.

What's your budget - before we start?
What dimensions will the images on your site be?
What style of 'togging are you going for? High-end arty shite, grubby, down & dirty, nasty stuff (sell like hot-cakes that one!!!) or something in-between?
What kind of models are you wanting to work with? (seasoned professionals usually don't give a damn what you point at them as long as you pay them and keep your hands to yourself... it's the newbies that expect something 'profeshunal' looking (in other words, BIG and flashy!). You'd expect it to be the other way round but in my experience it's not at all. (I let one model pose with my spare camera in her hand with a rather expensive lens stuck on the front - lens worth considerably more than the camera and she didn't know the difference between that and something from Argos!
Anything Canon or Nikon around the 300 quid mark will do you for net-quality.
If you wanna spend money though email me for more detailed advice!
Always happy to help.
Daz.

I love her to bits, but the videos are pure crap, look like they were filmed off a regular movie mode on a canon photo camera. She needs to invest in a great camera, whatever is suggested here that produces great HD video.
