I agree with everyone above. You can get great shots with any camera it's all in the set up, lighting, and focus. All my shots up until today have been don on a Nikon coolpics s60 camera. It is 10mp but it's basically a gimick camera because of the touchscreen and the ability to edit in camera (nothing useful though). As far as lighting the best light for shots is the sun, but try and shoot in a shaded area to keep the sun from overpowering the shots with glare. In the dark i'm still working on. but my only sorce of lighting right now is a white LED flashlight, a red LED light that was built into my old apartment key, and a mag light flashlight which unless your bouncing the light off something it is way too bright!
just keep at it and ask questions of others here about how they did certain things you like and you will be posting great things in no time!
