What the most important thing?
First of all (Please BE A WELL KNOWN PHOTOGRAPHER, OR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS Digital SLR CameraS very well) I need smart answers.
Ok so my questions are
1. What is the most important thing(s) to look for when choosing a professional camera.
2. What reading the FEATURES and OVERVIEW about a specific camera what should I look for. If i'm looking for a crystal clear image quality?
Personally what do you prefer Canon or Nikon and why?
3. Would you recommend getting Canon EOS 6D? Or Nikon D300s?
4. If the mega pixel is low does that mean image quality is not great?
Please BE SPECIFIC AND ONLY ANSWER MY QUESTION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
1. Well first unless you have $4, 000 or more to spend you can't choose a "professional" camera.
You're perhaps talking about consumer level dslr cameras. If so, the most important thing? Can you properly operate such a camera? Do you have any photo skills with a dslr? If not don't waste your money, buy a bridge or a pocket toy. If you don't know how to operate a dslr you're wasting your money.
2. Crystal clear image quality? You don't understand, again. That's not up to the camera, that's up to you as the photographer. This comes back to knowing how to properly operate such a camera. Trust me the camera is not magic, it won't do everything for you. You are 95% of the equation that makes a good, crystal clear photo.
3. I'm a Canon owner, I have two of their dslr cameras and I really enjoy them both so that's the only brand I recommend.
4. I don't know how much experience you have with cameras, it doesn't sound like much. People were making great photos with 6mp dslr cameras a long time ago and they still are today. The mp count has nothing to do with picture quality - that's still up to you because any camera is only a tool.
1. This article discusses what is important in DSLR cameras.

2. Any DSLR is capable of giving your a "crystal clear image". The rest is up to the photographer.
3. While this tool shows the advantages of each, you really need to go to a camera shop and try each one and see which one appeals to you.

4.No, mega pixel (MP) really only defines resolution. 6MP is usually all that is needed. Here is a pic I took with my 1.3MP Sony.
I'm not well known and I don't know all digital SLR's very well but I have been proven to be smart, sometimes.
1. You mean dSLR? Budget. Next comes brand loyalty. If you have no preferred brand yet, savvy salesmanship will take over. When confronted by a salesman, you ask for something nice and keep asking for something better or lower depending on your budget. Whittle down the price by bargaining and reject any extras. You only need the camera, the lens and a memory card. Warranty for one year is free from both the store and the factory. The strap, battery and charger come with the camera in the box straight from the factory. The bag is usually free from the store. A memory card can be included by the store. Tripods, extra lenses, adapters, filters, you don't need right now. Anything else you can buy later as you feel the need for it.
2. Image quality? You can't find that on the spec page or the camera itself. Image quality is most dependent on user skill. The camera is only a tool. If you know what you're doing, you can get great shots even with a cheap camera. If you don't know what you're doing, you'll get low quality shots even with a very expensive camera. When you get a dSLR, you have to learn photography to take full advantage of it. There's no other way. Luckily, there are lots of lessons in the internet nowadays and there's Y! Answers where you can always ask almost anything.
3. Either will do. They will be great for someone studying photography due to the fact that both will offer a wide range of settings that will make the shot easier to take. Try any of these for even better results and force yourself to learn the craft well.

4. Megapixels only tell picture size. It has nothing to do with image quality. Most people only need around 6MP. Really.
Typing in All CAPS is tantamount to shouting.
