I hope to start a travelling job soon. This means that I need a good camera. One that takes great pics of landscapes and landmarks. I will also want to take plenty of close-ups of my animals and animals at reptile shows as well as wild animals. Simply put I need a great all around camera. I would prefer digital but will also want to make some prints. I was thinking of a Nikon D50. Can anyone tell me about these cameras (the good and the bad)? Also is it a good choice or should I consider others as well?

Thanks,
Dan
