You'll see this written scores of times in answers to similar questions: It's not the camera that takes professional pictures but the photographer. If you don't have the skills, you could be using a $ 30,000 Hasselblad and still take pictures that are not as good as an experienced photographer with a $ 500 point-and-shoot.

Answer by NO N
Well first ask yourself, what kind of photography will you be doing? Sports and actions pro's like Canon, while nature and landscape pro's lean more toward Nikon.
I own Nikon and the biggest reason I chose Nikon was for the lenses. You can use any (most) nikon len on any (most) nikon camera. In fact Nikon is the only camera that does that. And the lens are backwards compatiable.

Answer by L!@M
Look at the Canon EOS Digital Rebel Series (XS, XSi, XT, XTi). They're great entry-level DSLRs with sharp image quality and great reviews.

Also look into the Nikon D5000, D3100 and D3000. They are the Nikon version of the Rebels and are just as good (plus HD video).

Also buy a lens. DSLRs come with 18-55mm lenses, but you may want something a little more or a little less.

I hope I've helped =]

Answer by fhotoace
Professional photos has much more to do with your skills using a camera

Professional photographers use cameras that cost over $ 5,300 and that are dSLR cameras.

For $ 200, you will have to forget "clear, professional" photos.

Yes, with the right skills, you can get good "clear" photos and them may look "professional" if you have the skills to shoot such images, but in the end, the quality produced by a dSLR with a sensor that is 15 times larger than a P&S camera will always be better. This is just basic physics. The larger the individual pixel, the higher quality image will be produced.

For around $ 200, you can buy a decent, inexpensive P&S camera, but you will be challenged to produce the images you hope to shoot

You can start your research here.
