There are only five at this time, the full frame Nikon D4/D4s/D810 and APS-C sensored Nikon D300/D300s.

Nikon also makes four semi-professional cameras, the Nikon D800/D800E/Df and Nikon D7100

NO professional camera comes with a lens.

Here is a link to the Nikon website so you can see for yourself what various cameras cost as well as the lenses you will need.

What's your price range. What do you want to use the camera for?
Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras are in the $500 to $7000 range. Pro cameras are generally in the $2000 range and upwards.

If you actually needed a Professional camera you wouldn't need to ask… I'll apologise for being truthful before I get accused of being unhelpful.

Whoever prepares the meals in your home wants to provide properly cooked meals that are nutritious for you… Do they use a professional cooker/oven? Professionals use professional equipment for a reason… I'm only explaining this because it shows anyone with experience that you aren't familiar with this subject.

All the Brands… Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony make decent cameras… My personal opinion is that Pentax cover the entry level models better than some other brands, the cameras are priced well and offer weatherproofing which can be an advantage especially to a 'newbie'… Quality wise though you wouldn't be able to spot a photo that was taken by a Nikon, Canon, Pentax or Sony they are all pretty much equal in image quality.

Try searching for 'DSLR buyers guides' in your browser to get an idea of the kind of things you should be looking for… I normally recommend a visit to the local library and one of the photography guide books you'll get most of your questions answered there and you'll pick up some useful tips and decent advice.

The Nikon D4S is their top-tier model. The body alone goes for about $6500. The non-DX lenses needed for use on this camera can be pretty expensive.

Simply buying this camera will not make you a professional, nor will it instantly improve the quality of your shots. The camera is only as good as the light you choose.

As others have noted, you clearly are not a professional.
