I photograph small doings (weddings, birthdays, gatherings) I have a Minolta 35 mm.

There is a wide range of Digital SLR cameras available. Depending on what kind of photography and your budget, they can run anywhere from around $500 to over $2k.
Some entry level models would be the Canon EOS 30D or 40D, or Nikon D80. Using a Digital SLR lets you use multiple lenses to suit your shooting (ex: zooming in on wildlife, or maybe portraits).

Canon and Nikon are the cameras that most pros use. Choose the one that you feel most comfortable holding and using.

Professional photographer use high end cameras including Nikon, Leica, Hasselblad, Linhof, Mamiya and Canon. Pros like to have a camera that can take a beating and have controls that can be adjusted in short time. Other pros prefer cameras like a Lecia rangefinder that will allow them to blend into their environment (fly on the wall). Sports shooters will never be able to blend in but their cameras will want to be fast to autofocus and take alot of photos in bursts (9 frames per second). Landscape pros use medium and large format cameras which are slow to setup, cumbersome and sometimes more fragile but their image quality will far exceed anything capable with a 35mm camera, even high end digital 35mm cameras.

It is all about using the right tool for the job.
