What are some good cameras for photography?

Each type of camera has its benefits and is best used in certain situations. A pocket camera is great for taking anywhere and getting those quick shots. But it isn't designed for difficult lighting conditions, moving subjects, or allowing the user to be creative with lenses or exposure options. A mirrorless camera will solve most of those problems, but still won't have a fast enough focusing system or feel right with large telephoto lenses. A DSLR will solve those problems and depending upon what you need to do, one will be better than another for specific things, but most will be fine just about everything. This is why so many different models are made, and why most advanced/pro shooters have more than just one camera. They'll have a high camera like a Canon 1Dx or Nikon D4 for the bulk of their work and especially for sports and wildlife. They'll have a camera with higher megapixels like the Canon 5DS R or the Nikon D810 for when they need to print large. Some who need to print very large will often use cameras like the Phase One, Pentax 645Z, or the Hasselblad for their super-high resolution sensors ranging anywhere from 50 to 200MP.
Then there's the need for an inconspicuous camera that is as convenient to bring along as a point and shoot, but offers the bulk of control found in DSLRs. This is where the Leica rangefinder and Sony mirrorless Alpha series come into play.

So which is best for you? Depends on what you want to do with it, and how much gear you're willing to lug around. Oh, and your budget will probably be a factor as well. What are some good cars for driving? What are some good foods for eating? Any fully adjustable SLR will do

For under $100 you can find good used 35 mm SLR cameras with a lens on craigslist. You will be paying as you go since you will have to buy film and have it developed and printed. These costs will make you a dicipliend shooter

For around $450, you can find good entry level digital SLR cameras. Look for ones made by Nikon, Pentax or Canon. They have optical viewfinders so will not interfer with your shooting of sports or action. Visit the websites of those cameras to read about their features and get an idea of what lenses are available for them

Cameras with electronic viewfinders are difficult to use in those situations since there's a lag from what the sensor sees and what is displayed on the electronic viewfinder Haaselblad, Mamiya, Leica. Its too big a question.

You would have to give us more of an idea of how you want to use your camera, what you hope to do with your images (print/upload) instagram/facebook kinda thing or if you see yourself as a more serious type that might want to enter their masterpieces in competitions.

As long as you are realistic about your expectations and can accept that cameras within different ranges (that would be type of camera and include cost/value) have limitations or advantages, then you should manage to find something that does the trick.

Nowadays most cameras are capable of pretty interesting results, just remember that the camera is only a tool and buying the most expensive one won't guarantee good shots, can't drive that Ferrari without a driving licence if you can catch my drift.
