What is the best camera for professional-looking photos in your opinion?

I'm on the hunt for a new camera and I'm curious what others' reviews are on different cameras. I use my iPhone to take basic ones but every now and then I like to take really good pictures either for a profile picture, my dogs, or scenery. I have a Nikon cool pix 16.0 6x zoom right now but it's not the best. The video shooting is only 7 minutesish and the lighting tends to be off. I'm thinking of getting a larger camera instead of compact like this: http://www.fujifilm.com/...pix_s4000/
So what's a good camera that you would recommend getting/looking into?

I've been using a Nikon D200 for the past… However long. When it got discontinued, I reckon. That's why I got it for a third of its retail price. Suits me just fine.

If you're gunna get a bridge, I strongly recommend the Fuji HS30 exr, it's sells for around £200.
If you want a DSLR, I'd suggest a Nikon d3100 or Canon 1100d

To give a literal answer to your question, the best camera for professional looking photos is the camera that is being used at that time by a professional photographer. Great looking photos are far more the result of the skill and knowledge of the person using the camera, not the camera itself.

So with that out of the way, I will say that the Fuji in your link is not a pro level camera. You need to understand that the sensor size in a camera is one of the major factors that contribute to the camera's ability to make good quality images. That Fuji is really nothing but a larger, fancier looking point and shoot. It uses the same size sensor that is in your little Nikon cool pix.

If you want a camera that is an actual stip up from what you have, you need to get an entry level DSLR. The larger sensor size and better optics of the lenses available will give you the POTENTIAL of professional looking photos, but again, the camera is never going to do it all by itself. Never has, never will. It is up to you to make the effort to learn to use it correctly and that is not turning it on, putting it in Auto, and pushing a button. While it can be used that way, it is a total waste of the equipment's capability to do such.
