I'm going to try to pursue the career of professional photography but the thing is.. I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE with cameras and about it, except the simple click & flash= Snapshot.
I been trying to look up what professional cameras are good for beginners and two has popped up quite a lot.. the Panasonic DMC-GF1 and this specific Canon camera.. the CANON EOS Elan 7E 35mm Autofocus Camera.
I know that the Canon one is extreme for me because I've never used film but digital(& that's what I'm looking for), the somewhat difficult multiple buttons or controls to chose from, and the one that bothers me most is the PRICE. I have seen the photos that this camera has taken from all focus and it's great and I can picture what I can do with it. Said from a professional photographer, she recommended it for beginners to start off and good for people looking for simple auto focus for professional quality pictures. Is it worth all that money though? From buying this even though it's expensive, does it and will it have all I need(ex. I won't have to go again the the electronic store and search for 4 diffferent lenses)?
As for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1, I like how light-weight it is and how clear the pictures can be as how cheaper it is than the other. But the pictures though there wasn't a lot of samples that I can look at all it's ranges of focus, it seems just a teeny bit better than a normal digital. Also it seems for this one, I probably have to go buy different lenses for focus and stuff like that.. but I'm not sure which and if I can afford it.
So what I guess I'm asking is to the professionals here.. which is better for me? & if I were to buy any of them, would I have to buy extra stuff to go with it?

Probably this would help too for my questions... Type of photos, I would like to be able to do with it or have on it are..
-auto-focus
-portraits
-landscape
-don't know what it's called but, it's where I can make a certain part focused and the background somewhat blurred.
-quick snapshots
-professional clear quality
-clear shots of night life
-action or motion pictures (where someone can just jump in the air or running and I can get that snapshot without blurr.. I think this may go under quick snapshots..but you guys know what I mean)
-under $2000
-has flash light that I can insert or already has it.

If you guys know any other good cameras for me, please recommend=)
thanks for your help
